Mosquito Ringtones Hearing Test

You are a thirtysomething

You’re a little frustrated that you can’t hear all the tones that the young ‘uns can but will be more than happy if it means you don’t have to listen to their damn ringtones on the bus anymore.

The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 14.9kHz

Take the mosquito ringtones hearing test

I hope, probably in vain, that the limiting factor was not in fact my ears but instead the crappy speaker in my laptop. Hmm, with plugged-in earphones I can just hear a tone at 15.8kHz.
