    Mike, I think our hearing-based humour is falling on deaf ears.

    I'm not sure of the unit's calibration but my wife and children could clearly hear up to 17Khz. So even assuming the generator was 3KHz out (highly unlikely), and they could hear up to 20KHz, I'm still 4.5Khz down.

    I guess that's 27 years in industrial maintenance for you despite being pretty careful to use hearing protection.

    Thing is, I don't feel I'm missing anything, so what *am* I missing?

    What sort of sounds are above 12KHz, on recordings or otherwise?
    You really need to do these tests on good headphones. Did you use your speakers?

    Using a laptop or computer and one of many available online audio clips would be sufficient.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
