In theory, just in theory. But you cannot hear nor distinguish a certain pitch above 5.000 Hz.
And a greater majority of all people in our westernized society has severe hearing loss. But I admit, you might feel the extreme high pitches, - even painful in your ear, or the extreme low pitches in your stomache - can make you vomiting. ######################################################################## Am 11.11.2010 um 17:53 schrieb [email protected]: > The human ear can usually hear from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. > > If you cannot hear above 5,000 Hz, then you probably have severe hearing > loss. > > _http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/_ > (http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/) > > I have only halfway decent speakers - so I probably can't output the higher > frequencies.
