Reviving a thread: I seem to think I have pretty good high-frequency hearing for someone my age (33). As a quick-and-dirty test, both my brother and I can clearly hear the whine of a CRT. I believe that's at 17 kHz? Anyway neither one of our parents can. My 6-month old nephew can probably hear a dog whistle. ;-)
High frequency sounds are weird - you "feel" them rather than hear them, kind of a subtle uncomfortable pressure feeling. Oh and regarding aliasing - I also see this if you're in a prop plane and you take a look at a reflection of the prop (strangely, a reflection, say in a puddle, not directly). The prop will seem to become stationary or go backwards as the pilot starts or stops it and it hits a certain RPM. Yes, our brains do seem to have a natural frame rate/sample rate or we wouldn't notice these effects. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24693 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
