Going a little off-topic I think, but I couldn't resist to notice following:
quoted 2 lines The human hearing range is not restricted to between 20hz -20khz. Everyone> The human hearing range is not restricted to between 20hz -20khz. Everyone > has a different hearing range
Correct..
quoted 2 lines Can you hear a faint very high frequency sound when watching the TV? Many> Can you hear a faint very high frequency sound when watching the TV? Many > people can but is supposed to be above the human hearing range.
The frequency you're talking about is the line-frequency (horizontal) of the TV, and that's 15.625 kc so that's why most people can hear it. But because it's very weak, it's not irritating. I can always hear if there's a TV switched on when entering someones home :-) Cya! Timo ___ timoh@ultraworld.xs4all.nl ____| We have not scratched the surface |____ | of what the mind can do.. |
