A word of warning to anyone trying this test with loudspeakers. About 15
years ago I was experimenting with a test CD, and could hear the 18kHz
band, but not the 20kHz one. I then took leave of my senses and
thought, "maybe if I turn up the volume I'll be able to hear 20kHz". I
didn't hear the 20kHz tone, but of course what I did hear was the
distinctive "pop-pop" as both tweeters in one of my Linn Isobariks
burnt out. (Luckily the tone was only playing through one channel).

FWIW, I'm now 49, and the 16kHz was easy to hear, but the 17kHz
seemingly silent. So I made some intermediate test tones and discovered
that I can get up to 16.8kHz (using headphones this time!).
