Ever wonder how much of the sonic world your ears can actually hear? Humans are wired to detect sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz — from thunderous booms to the highest squeals of a mosquito… but as we age, those high frequencies start to fade.
👶 Kids (age 8) can usually hear up to 20,000 Hz, while those age 85+ often top out around 8,000–10,000 Hz. That’s why your hearing meter drops with age — it’s not your imagination, it’s science!
🎵 Most music lives in the midrange, but it’s those crisp high notes (over 15kHz) that give sparkle and clarity to voices and instruments. If you can still hear them — protect your ears! 🔇
🎧 Fast Facts:
• 20 Hz = Low bass rumbles (feel it in your chest)
• 1,000–4,000 Hz = Human speech sweet spot
• 15,000+ Hz = High-pitched tones, bird chirps, cymbal shimmer
• 20,000 Hz = The top limit of young human hearing!
🧠 Pro Tip: If you’re under 25, test your ears with a 17kHz+ tone — you’ll be shocked how fast those highs disappear with age or loud music exposure!
