Incidentally: Judging from the posts and the actual votes I think some people voted for the last sound they heard - not for the last sound they couldn't hear anymore, like I described in the first post (and it's also said in the video). For example, from what Iván posted there should be a vote in the 17 KHz/41-50 option, but there isn't any.

I wonder whether I should start the poll again and mention in each option "Can't hear X KHz"?

I didn't actually vote in the poll, but to "fine tune" my initial post: cut-off point at 15Khz on laptop speakers, 18 or 19Khz on headphones.

^ Laptop speakers typically don't reproduce very low / very high frequencies well ... as demonstrated by your experience. Of course you should determine your cut off point using speakers which actually reproduce those high frequencies.Smile

Oops! I did that - I couldn't hear the 17KHz but heard the 14KHz. Sorry Mike. Embarrassed
What?

^ No need to apologize ... I should have realized how ambiguous the term "cut-off point" is. I just created a new and improved version of the poll - perhaps we can simply close this one, I also linked to it from the new one for reference.

Fair do's. I'll shut this one down.
 
btw technically "cut off" is defined as 3dB reduction in volume - ie you can still hear it. Wink
What?
