Hearing Range
How good is your hearing? We all know dogs can hear very high tones, tones a human ear can't hear anymore. That's how the dog whistle works.
But even among humans there are differences in hearing capabilities. Generally, the younger you are the higher tones you are able to hear. I found a blog with sound samples going from 10,000 Hz all the way up to 25,000Hz. I could hear the tones up to 20,000Hz, after that, I only heard silence, although 21k and 22k did gave me a headache-like feeling in the head. How high can you go? Let me know :)

10:16 PMI recently seen on the news about a popular ringtone used by students to pass on messages to classmates. The pitch is so high only people under the age of 25 can hear this chirp which makes it perfect for cheating in class.
