    The maximum frequency of most speakers is around 15-20kHz, plus anything above around 20kHz is usually inaudible to humans anyways so it would make sense that that's around the range the sound just gives up

    You also have to consider aliasing from most hardware not being built to handle such a high hertz input. Most can represent signals up to 22khz accurately but when your *funadamental* is like 12k-20k all the natural overtones are getting aliased. It's even worse when you're using distortion on top of that which produces even more overtones.

    I remember Dave Mustaine saying that if he were going to use a 7-string guitar, the additional string would be higher, not lower. That said, everything over about 8kHz sounded screwy through whatever youtube did + my headphones + what a long history of loud music have done to my ears. Even so, somewhere north of 20kHz, all of my earwax melted and dribbled out. I'm favoriting this video to save on Q-Tips in the future.

    So, human hearing caps out at ~20,000 hertz (and since we’re metalheads, safe to say we aren’t getting the full 20,000), which means everything past that is just the lower frequencies that also get produced, which is why it didn’t sound different, just quieter, because we can’t actually hear the full note (and chances are your audio system can’t play it. My earbuds max out at like 22,000, and they’re some good quality ones)

    I'm grateful to have the hearing I do, I have slight hearing loss but the main thing is that some frequencies cut out, some people's voices are hard to hear, especially with background noise.
