general

I think if you can feel it, that counts

you're supposed to be able to hear the whole thing

i get to 15k

when I click at 19k, and turn it on, I can't hear/feel anything for reference Pirate

are you using headphones or speakers

speakers

it works for either, I tried it with both, same-ish results

unless like, your speakers have a hum whenever they are powered on

or something like that

I have a subwoofer

shouldn't matter for high pitches

A lot of earbud drivers top out at 18.5

I feel like the new airpods are going to convince 90% of people (women) they have hearing loss

just based on how prominent the hearing stuff is

Are they making the new airpod have a larger range?

Because my pros got to 18.7 before it cut

it's kinda cool, auto-tuning all audio based on hearing ranges

but it's self-reported

so it's going to be a lot of people being told they have hearing loss (based on some app they're putting out) which will tune their audio a certain way to make it sound "better"

their whole pitch was mostly for the weirdos who wear their airpods 24/7

which you will never be able to convince me is normal human behavior

its the drivers

my mezes make it to 20

its real crackly at 20 but itll do it

Regi and Pirate have the best ears

nah im p sure other people would hear higher too but its device limited

i hear all 20k

the issue is like, no music is in any of these ranges

ever

nor is any other audio

so why would you ever care

its something that happens as you grow older

oldest in this conversation has the worst absurdly high pitch hearing

Max, what if you want to hear the wifi bouncing around your house

my hearing is definitely fucked in other ways

but i can hear to 20k

me to spooky is less than 3 musical notes at that pitch range

I have F-tier echolocation

or whatever the term is

like, genuinely absurdly bad

in games with good sound

I never thought of it, but musical notes follow a log scale dont they

to the point i can pinpoint mental space create the location of a dropped objkect in my head

because of the frequency required for each octave

in real life i dont feel that ever though

its log based twelfth root of 2

game spacial audio is different

because there's no multipath

something directly in front of me can be emitting audio irl, and I will think it's behind me to the right

audio ray tracing sounds like a fun thing to develop for no one to appreciate

i appreciate it when a game has perfect audio

becuase when a game has bad audio its noticbly bad

name one game with "perfect audio"

lifeline

bioshock series

games rarely get audio mixing right, so often the music will blow out the dialogue or vice-versa

unironically

siege

as well has very good audio

wrong

Crusader Kings 2 was the right answer

i assumed you were talking about the topic i mentioned

i.e. positional audio

you autist

well first of all, fuck you, second of all I dont even know what that means

where say youre in the center

and someone drops an item behind you, to the left, a bit down some stairs

your headphones would convey the positioning of the object

via the audio

oh yeah, no that doesnt work for me since im deaf on my left ear.

all sound on the right ear, you see

even ignoring muffling or effects etc.

perhaps its time you learned to accept the differently abled

15190

for this

sorry nevermind

it was 16000

clicked play and I could still hear it

Pirate take note of all this

if you want to put subliminal messaging in the next Phijkchu game
