hmm, I wouldn't take this too seriously unless you can be assured that your computer speakers have a completely flat frequency response accross 20Hz - 20kHz.

For instance, my speakers really struggled with the 500Hz tone, as they are intended for an emergency intercom system and not for music reproduction.

It's a guide at least, and it might prompt more people to have a proper test before it's too late!  Cool link!

Beat me to it...  Even if they have a frequency response range that's large, the frequency response at lower and higher probably isn't that good anyways.

Cool! I amazed to report I can still hear. After so many years of maximum "wattage in the cottage"! Dig those enviromental sounds!
