Interactive Test

Very easy at FIRST, then it starts getting more difficult to perceive the distortion. Those with better sound cards, speakers/earphones, etc. and the ability to listen should have no problem getting into the -30's.

The source is distorted (mp3?) but this tests one ability to hear the difference too. Fun nonetheless!

I had no problem telling which one was bad.  Then again, I do have pretty good speakers.

Wait - I was just doing the first test one before.
I just did it, and got to like -15db.  I initially got to -24db, but then missed a few.
