Humans can hear sounds in the frequency range of about 20 Hz (very low bass) to 20,000 Hz (very high pitch). Younger people—especially children—can usually hear higher frequencies than adults, and as we grow older, our ability to hear the highest pitches naturally decreases.
The Human Hearing Range Explorer is a fun and interactive tool that lets you test how much of this range you can actually hear. It plays tones of different frequencies, starting from very low rumbles to super-high pitches, and asks you to mark whether you can hear each one.
How it works?
- Select your age group (Kids, Adults, Seniors).
- Press Play Tone to hear a sound at a specific frequency.
- Respond with “I Heard It” or “I Didn’t Hear”.
- Use the Next and Previous buttons to explore different frequencies.
- At the end, you’ll see a summary of the tones you could and couldn’t hear.
