Hearing Frequency Test (Mosquito Tone).
Play high tones from 8 kHz to 20 kHz to find the highest frequency you can hear, with a rough comparison by age.
Set a low volume first and raise it gently. High tones can be unpleasant; stop if anything hurts.

The upper limit of hearing falls with age, but this result also depends on your speakers or headphones, which often stop around 15–18 kHz. It is a curiosity, not a hearing test: see an audiologist if you are worried about your hearing.
How to use Hearing Frequency Test (Mosquito Tone)
Set a low volume, play the tones from the lowest, and mark the highest one you can hear.
How it works
Short sine tones are generated at the chosen frequencies with gentle fades to avoid clicks.
Example
Hearing 17 kHz but not 18 kHz is typical under about 25, if your headphones can play such high tones.
