Important note:

This test is useless when you do this on a set of normal computer speakers. You need very special speakers in order to do this test properly (and maybe a couple of different sets to get the whole frequency range).

Normal computer speakers simply can not produce the wide range of frequencies in this test. This has two causes:

1) The speakers simply can't produce the frequency. So if you say you can't hear the sound, it might simply be that there is no sound to begin with.

2) The speaker can't produce the frequency, but is triggered so fast on and off that you hear clicking sounds instead. This clicking sound can be so fast it seems to be a single frequency, but in fact it is not. Therefor what you hear is not the intended frequency, but simply your speakers triggering.

3) The MP3 format is not a good and proper soundformat to do these tests with!!!

Conclussions: such tests are almost impossible todo on a home computer. And totally impossible if you have only a basic standard set of computer speakers.

Making a poll out of this, and thus comparing the result in a way, is totally useless as each individual uses a different kind of speakers (and in almost all cases, not a proper set to do such testings to begin with).

The test on the linked page is useless as it does not give you a right and proper view of the spectrum you can hear.
