Yes, I can hear it. An incredibly high pitched sound, quite tiring/annoying.
It's sort of strange since I haven't been kind to my ears (years in rehearsals without protection, plenty of high volume metal concerts etc.), and I'm 36 as well.

I can't hear it.
I'm 20....
*edit*
Turned up the volume.
Now I can hear it. Not much, but a tiny silent noise.
I hate you.

Very high pitched and annoying, it would probably deter me from entering an area if that was constantly blaring out. I'm only 23 though and fairly gentle on my ears so I expected to be able to hear it.

man I could hear it, as soon as I turned it on I heard the high pitched voice, it was extremely loud and painful (I had the speaker volume on ~medium)
I started to feel a heat in my head,couldnt bare it turned it off after 3 sec. even when I set the soundsystem on mute I can still hear this shit. it then sounds like this high noise a TV thats turned on makes, only more intense.
Using a teufel concept E magnum 5.1 system btw.

At how much Hz is this sound? I expected it to be very quiet but it was very loud.
To the guys who weren't able to hear the sound: Maybe it's just your speakers that weren't capable of producing the sound

WOW ! SiN, Leo your ears are singing in the silence too I have it for about a year, sometime I hear it, sometimes I don't. Actually I planned to see a doctor this summer about it. Also I checked some medical forums and there are similar cases.
It could be
- Ears hyper-sensitivity, in that case the sound is the sound of blood moving in vessels, capillary etc.
- Ears infection, but in that case they should hurt a lot
- "Swan song" of the nerves ala as soon as the sound would be gone one would stop hearing at that frequency
On topic: Yes I can hear the sound, it is of higher frequency than the sound my ears sing me at silent places  |

Try testing the range of your hearing with this:
http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=20680
I could hear it up to 18,000Hz then it just sounds like a click. Be careful as it can get a bit painful at the higher frequencies if your volume is loud.

Tried on MacBook Pro only so far
Via Speakers - I can hear from 100 Hz to 16 KHz
Via headphones - At 50% volume I can hear up to and including 18 KHz. I can hear the rest of the range at 80% volume, also 19 KHz - for this one I had to focus a bit. Also, 19KHz sound is almost identical to the one my ears sing me |

I've done a couple of searches and apparently that sound in the OP is actually only 15,000HZ, so the majority of people should be able to hear it, old or not.

Well you can hear in the range of 20Hz-20000Hz.
I remember watching Walter Lewins teaching where he has this frequency generator and he tests his students how good they can hear. I couldn't hear on 18kHz, and he went up to 24kHz, and then when he saw that some students are still holding their hands up high, he told them that he turned off the machine @ 21kHz, so some of them must have super hearing
We did the same test on class in general physics last semester and I stopped hearing the sound @ 18kHz.

If you hear the high pitched sounds after a concert/disco than say goodbye to this frequency, because you'll never hear it again. It's the last signals going to your brain, while the according receptors are dying.
OK did the test on my notebook with headset. I could hear every sound up to 22 kHz. But I think that the onboard soundcard isn't capable of producing sounds > 19 kHz, because they sounded pretty wierd So I have yet to do a better test.
I miss my PC 3, just start basic and type
sound 20000,1 to have a 20kHz sound
