You are about 20 years old
The teen repellent will no longer foil you, but you can still hear some pretty high tones.

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 16.7kHz

Incidentally, the 15.8 kHz tone is about the same frequency as a TV's flyback transformer, which explains how I can hear when a TV or CRT monitor is on.

How about you?

I think there is something wrong with that page, I was getting 21.7K. There is no way.

Wow, you've got good ears! I got up to 14.9kHz, which means my hearing is "thirtysomething".

I think there is a problem. I heard the same low volume tone from 14k to 20k. It changed tone at 21k. I couldn't hear the last one.

The last one I heard that was loud was 12k, which seems reasonable given my age.

I downloaded all the tones and ran them through Adobe Audition. They are all the same volume, -6 dB.

except, of couse, the 22.4 kHz, which is there as am honesty check:

You are a liar
You claimed to be able to hear a tone that contained absolutely no sound!

I got several different answers -- when I downloaded to my pc, I could hear up to 21.1, when I just clicked the arrows I could only hear up to 12, when I did it on me desktop MAC I got 14.9. So, I am either a dog, a thirtysomething or I am in a mid-life crisis. I don't think that last one is true, because I can hear monitors and tvs clearly, even if the sound is off. In fact, I had to take a DVD back two years ago because it made a really annoying whine that no one else could hear.

The CRT whine drives me crazy! Usually it's at a low enough volume and I can tune it out.
