If some of these sounds were silent for you, you probably have some age related damage to your hearing.
Don’t worry – it happens to all of us.
Your ears contain tiny hair bundles that pick up sound vibrations, and when you are young these are upright and super flexible. However, as we age and are exposed to loud noises, these hairs can become permanently damaged and we lose the ability to detect sound at higher frequencies.
This is not a medical hearing test - just some fun. The frequencies were determined using research based in the following research papers:
