I want to try a experiment with frequencies. I will post a sound file that produces a Sin Tone with a freq at 17000Hz. I want you to post if you hear it or not, and your age. My hypothesis is that older people will not be able to hear the sound. Link to it is:

http://www.ihud.com/file.php?file=files/24...7/frequency.rar

You need WinRAR to extract the file

Forgot to mention, I am 16, and can hear it easily.

Well... that's statistically prooved... someone discovered that so many years ago...
But I don't want to stop your scientific vein

I hear that sound perfectly and I'm 26.

I'm curious as to whether or not that file is corrupted. He said it would just be a single tone, and instead it's a jumble of static.
