Is this a troll attempt or is it just not playing? I couldn’t hear anything.

The site was a little glitchy at first. I had to reload it once or twice.

Be aware you are not missing as much as it appears on the top end. Each doubling of frequency is just one octave. While 20Hz to 640hz is 5 octaves 5kHz to 20kHz is only 2 octaves. 20Hz to 20kHz is 10 octaves.

Want to REALLY annoy them?

Open up the same website in a different tab. Play one high-pitched tone in one tab and play another high-pitched tone in another, but this time at 1.5x or 2x the frequency of the first tone.

It will cause an oscillation effect when the tones are played together.

The reason behind the "mosquito" ringtone which most youngins can hear and most older people can not.

Wait...scratch that. The oscillation effect is best when they are only slightly out of sync.

Try 994 and and 1012 Hz.

Down to 10 hz and up to 13500 hz on the phone.

Normally any resonance from 40Hz to about 100Hz in a house is the drywall/stud resonance. It is fun you have a sub system that can play down close to DC and you can find the resonance of the house itself. It feels like a minor earthquake and can actually cause structural damage. Systems that capable are fairly rare, most owners can be found on the DIY subforum on AVS.

19 Hz to 13,509 Hz on an iPhone (if that’s calibrated correctly)

Online tone generator: How good is your hearing?


I can hear down to 20 Hz, but only up to 13,991 Hz.

I am using noise-canceling headphones.

I find myself sometimes struggling to hear higher pitch voices, especially female, and when multiple people are talking, or background noise is present.

I was told that this is "normal" considering my age (late 40s).

So…just hypothetically…big enough system, right resonance….what could you do? I mean, if you had a machine that could reach the resonance of stone?

With a big enough speaker tuned to the right frequency, could break the Earth up, but I don't think you could explode the planet because the gravity at the center would still hold every thing in place.

It would be a fractured jigsaw in space.

remember, this also relies on quality of speakers (needs to be perfectly flat response) and db level

But I mean, what could a directed beam of sound at a certain frequency do to a stone building. I recall sonic weapons from Dune.

Why hasn’t we seen these in use? Not economically feasible? Easier to accomplish with a bomb?
