Maybe... but they should fact-check their own website! Agreed.

I hear all of 'em with a pair of cheapo PC speakers and a set of 53 year old ears.

Went back and tried the 18khz again, this time with the volume turned up and pressing the earphone to my ear. No prob. Can't be outdone by no 53 yr old ears, no sir!
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Yup, using headphones I can hear all of them just fine. I guess I need to add the Audiobytes to my Christmas list.

Very interesting. I can hear all the tones, but 16 kHz sounds (to me) like a significantly lower volume than the others. When I got to that one I thought "Uh oh, my hearing has gone down the toilet", but then I could hear 17 and 18 just fine.
Age 44, listening on Beyerdynamic HD-990 headphones.

I think my computer speakers suck. It couldn't possibly be my ears!

I was able to hear them all on some cheap Logitech headphones. I am closer to 40 than 30...

I just went to another web site with even more tones and I could hear 22khz too. 18 and younger it says! Yeah, my ears are just kids! Too bad the rest of me wasn't 18...
