The human ear can hear from 18Hz to 18,000Hz by theory... the most experienced people and the best "ears" i've heard of can hear from 40Hz ( which is VERY VERY low ) to 17,000Hz.
btw - if u want to know if u hear 14,000-15,000 , sit next to a TV... if u hear a "tweet" that realy bugs you, that means that u hear those frequencies. not many people do, thou...
the 7hz ache is right, u can throw up if u play that frequency, coz u get in a vibration without knowing it. u dont hear the sound, and it vibratest your stomach alot... very nice indeed... it's just like when u see in this old movies this opera 'gal that sings and the glass breaks?.. it's possible!... u just need to find the right frequency for each material, and it would break. if it vibraters in the right frequency, anything is possible.
about the fletcher things - it's right, i agree ( but i dont think that this was the question, wasnt it?... )... but 85 is realy loud! can bust your ear if u lis10 to it for more then 40-50 minutes!...

to make the fletcher/munson theorem work you must have state of the art gear,an acoustic controlled environment and good ears.
|

yeah, thats logic, just theoretically...;-)=
...and such equipment is veeeery expenisve....
and about level @ clubs:
in swizz there was became a bit higher level legal too (...afaik it is at 95db if supposed that the listener listen 6 h or so....)
i was just wondering...if u do noise day-long (...for shure with some breaks ) @ 85
...boOom experiment !

nectarios:
about the "quote":
it doens t matter about the f/m in this case (...for shure it doesn t matter if u use pc-speakers or high-end-monitors, that s nature of our ears like u ve written) but in case of mixing it matters of equipment too...
cause your speakers, amps,...aren t ideal on the hole range and so...u know that i think (...seems u ve got much meat on the bone in case of acoustics, hehe )
if i understod monno right, that s the point he like to mention...or ?!?
....silly me
btw, thnx for the book-nfo, i ll check it !

that was exactly what i was trying to prove. the frequency response of the ears are really just meant to be general ie. not applying to everyone out there. theory is one thing but real life application is another.
as i said before if it sounds good it is good.
in a studio all the components must be of equal quality (including your ears) one weak link and you cannot be sure that you hear exactly what is going on. it´s no good relying on your ears alone if you have shitty gear, that was my point.
oh and thanks for the book tip nectarios i´ll check it out when i get some dough. cheers!

How do you (active-monitors-users) know at which level/ dB you listen?

use a dB meter. something like:

you can also take a microphne and check your input signal. just don't forget to turn monitoring off while recording otherwise you won't hear anything for a long time

martyn - i have the Cm-140 and im happy! its a fun tool for boring days lol
its good for calibrating a sound system, good for setting up a nice mixing volume, taking it with you to a party to check the levels, both as a listener or entertainer
and lots of other stuff, im still trying to get a good hang on dB and everything that has to do with it... its lots of math and physics.. good to keep me occupied for some years...
i can recommend you to buy one if you are interested in the science of sound...
