Need a way to really test the high end of your fancy pants speakers, not to mention your hearing? Try playing these " Mosquito" tones. I can clearly hear the 14Khz tone but not the 15Khz. I'm guessing my computer speakers just can't reach 15Khz. It'll be fun to try this on my M22's later today....

With my $5 Walmart earphones on my laptop, I can hear 17khz, and very barely 18khz. I don't want to reveal my age, but I'm somewhere between 46 and 48.

More like a torture test for one's ears... At 45, I can hear the 15kHz. I can tell there's an annoying something at 16 kHz, but cant really "hear" it.
A 27 year old co-worker winced at the 18kHz tone and looked at me oddly whaen I said I couldn't hear it.

I can hear the 15hz with my cheap computer speakers turned up all the way, but not the 16-18hz.
I guess this is like saying the Super Tweeters would be wasted on me, huh? But I'm pushing 60, so I guess 15hz isn't all that bad.

I heard to the 15kHz, but not beyond. This didn't make sense to me: It can be used so that people of all ages will hear it. When it is set to 17KHz to the Mosquito will disperse these groups. When set to 8 KHz the Mosquito can only be heard by teenagers approximately 13 to 25 years of age. Seems to me as though those two frequency listings were reversed....

I can only hear 14khz through my laptop.

Or maybe instead of 8 kHz they meant 18 ?

I don't want to reveal my age, but I'm somewhere between 46 and 48. Ohhhh, that's why it's not 42 for you. Duh.

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