16khz... 30 and younger... good job I'm 32 
actually, it all depends on how loud you turn it up as well, doesn't it? If I crank it, I can hear right the way down to 20khz (though if I play the 8khz at the same volume it just about splits my head!)
14khz oh dear, I'm 35!
17 khz - 29. sweet.!
Oh dearie me!
can hear them all
GW - Membercan hear them all
**** Bat 
I can hear them all and I'm 40.
I can see mice from planes too.
39 here
Can't hear much apart from a ringing in my ears ....
Mind I have just got home from The Saw Docs gig in Leeds ...
I do this every year. I'm 47, with impaired high end hearing from a nasty canoeing accident a few years ago (fractured skull). We have some pretty accurate kit in school to do the tests and it used to be that I would get older colleagues to be present so that the pupils could test them. Nowadays they test me 
I was at 12 kHz last year.
As an offshoot of this- if people can't hear certain frequencies why do they buy super sensitive stereos that can respond to those frequencies?
I can hear down to 18 and I'm quite a bit older than 24 
I have extremely good hearing when my Mrs whispers - do you want to come up to the bedroom.. 22khz 18 & Younger and better.
I have extremely bad hearing when my mrs shouts - shall we go shopping ?...
14khz and 41. Mozzies i can't hear will die before they get anywhere near me due to my old age rage 
eh ?
i'm 32, i can't hear the 15khz sample.
(there's something there, but it's too similar to my background tinitus for me to definitely pick it out)
it's no great loss, it's not the nicest sound in the world is it?
How loud are you meant to have the volume up?
19khz 
19 and 31yo.
too hungover for squeaky noises right now but at 32 i can hear those 'mosquito' hoodie-deterrent noise things. they are well nasty! [edit] they weren't that bad and i could hear them all though the last couple are definitely 'quieter' to my ears. I can also spot nice boobies from a couple of hundred yards but my wife does not seem to think of this as a 'gift'.
With my Macbook with it's volume 3rd of the way up I can hear the drone of the 22khz.
???
I'm 44 and I can hear them all.
i can hear all of them but some are very low flat noise, is that right? 43 with a head cold here
Highest I can hear is the 12khz and I'm only 29 - too many years of DJing and playing in bands.
BTW 39
12kHz here, age 44.
But I have been playing drums since I was 15, hearing damage is permanent but (touch wood) not too severe just yet.
Must get some earplugs sorted out so it doesn't get any worse
