===PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION===

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the home of the most comprehensive collection of beeps, rumbles, chirps and noise on teh Internets!

Although this channel has very many sine wave frequencies available, if you can't find (on this channel) the desired frequency (or chirp or noise) you want, PM me and request that a frequency be posted. If you want the video to be of a different length (default is 30 seconds) or any other things, then include that in the personal message. A high quality 30 second clip (or what length that you specified) should be on this channel within one day!

You do not have to be subscribed to this channel to request a video, however subscribing would be great and you will be instantly notified of new videos that I make, or if a viewer request. With one click of the subscribe button, you will get all these features and it's 100% free as subscribing to all other channels is.

I have tinnitus and this is what I hear all day and every day for the last 5 years along with other sounds. NOTE TO ALL: Wear ear protection to NIghtclubs/Festivals. I don't wish it on my worse enemies. Living hell.

A well-encoded video can give you the full 20-20khz spectrum. Compression, for the most part, gets rid of frequencies that are similar to the highest one because whoever designed the codec believed that the human brain couldn't tell the difference.

Your average YouTube video has a sampling rate of 48k. That's just 48, 000 samples per second. Since it's a stereo audio file, you split that down to 24khz. A typical CD, or lossless WAV file has a sample rate of 41, 400hz devided by 2 channels = Just under 21khz.

So understanding the way compression works, to post a video that can do 17, 18, 19 or even 20k is quite easy to do. However sound reproduction works as a chain of devices and connections. Your best sound is as good as the lowest quality point. If anything was subpar from the compressing of the original files to YouTube's system limitations to your sound system, your speakers/headphones and to your own hearing, the sound will be affected.

Here is a test you can do. Find a way to "rip" the audio from this video in an uncompressed format like .WAV. Next, use a free DJ program like Virtual DJ. Load up the file and make sure your pitch bend is set to + or - 100%. Play the file and slow it down. As it slows, you should hear the tone become more audible. Keep "Key" lock off.

I think I have tinnitus, and this is what I hear all day (around 16 - 18 khz)

[RokaiaJedir]

This is complete nonsense. There is more than one frequency playing here, and what Im hearing is not as high as 17kHz.
Possibly distortion on something else!

[hershythechocolate]

I was freaking out and though I couldnt hear it, the solution is put the volume all the way up on your speaker and video, if you are under 24 years you can hear it

[christopherrippel]

I am 58 years old, and if I turn the volume all the way up, I can hear it.

OK it depends on a few factors if and how much you can hear.

1. Laptop Speakers/Cheap Earphones do not reply frequencies accurately and cut off others all together. Not saying you need to have headphones that cost $100+ but cheap headphones are cheap for a reason. Its like watching a 1080p movies on a old TV n saying HD doesn't look that much better. 

2. Youtube Compress is dropping some of these frequencies and cutting off others and not playing them accurately even.

On my mid range headphones i can hear up to 19kHz which i usually can't do which means 19kHz are playing around the 17kHz range and for the rest of you that are having issues you could check various headphones around your house n see which ones allow you to hear the highest. 

[Shadowiann_]

i cant hear it, but my body clearly does, my eyes water when i turn the volume up

Interesting. I'm 53 and I can hear this... and its a different pitch that I hear to the course on Survey of Music Technology (coursera) on the Sound Waves video that also has a sample of 17000 Hz. FYI I'm using good quality headphones.

POV: ur laying in bed and you finally start to drift off and then you hear this video

[cybernetics]

I'm 31 and I can hear it, feelsgoodman.

[Willgtl]

Protip: Your headphones/speakers may not be able to output these frequencies. My SteelSeries gaming headphones can do up to 28KHz yet my old Creative 5.1 system can only go as high as 20KHz, but a cheap pair of headphones may have a frequency response up to 13KHz.

It's so weird -- I know there's something there, I can feel it in my jaw, but I can't... hear... it.

[kellyghost]

I’m 60% deaf in left ear and 40% deaf in right and can still hear this I shouldn’t be able to hear this lol 😂

[eatcarpet]

This sounds like I've heard a very loud noise and my ear is ringing.

[Posiedon]

i'm going to set this as my ringtone so only i can hear it go off

[organizedchaos]

I'm 36 and I can hear it all too clearly. It also drains my sinuses and makes my ears bubble and pop with mucus or something. I'm also ADHD (which, because of the difference in brain shape development, makes you sensitive to supernatural occurrences/vibrations) and I both grew up by and still currently live directly beside a cell tower, which also increases sensitivity to supernatural vibrations. I constantly just "know things" and am spot on to the point where almost everyone who meets me knows what I am. I have prophet dreams sometimes, and frequently astrotravel though I've not yet figured out how to control it or lucid dream intentionally. I've physically seen both shadow people and my dead grandfather and grandmother before getting the call they were dead. Frequently men who lived with me would be attacked in the night by "sleep paralysis" or whatever you choose to believe is happening there. Sometimes objects move, but that seems to only be a cat who is playing with my other two cats as the only things that ever move are cat toys. More than two dozen people have witnessed these strange occurrences throughout my life, so I know I'm not crazy, though I tried to convince myself I was bc it was easier than accepting the truth. I'm betting there's plenty of you out there like me, so if you are, please comment below. Would love to meet others who are having similar experiences!

[geminitaurus]

I downloaded an app on my phone and I can hear up to 18000hz. On YouTube I cant hear it as strong, why?

[SycAmre]

Yeah, i'm 16, i listen to hard death metal everyday at full blast, i've been to multiple drag races and stood next to 500+ hp beasts and do motorsports

I can't hear this for shit

[lilduck]

does it count if you can here it through headphones
