Is there a game to learn to hear specific frequencies. In sound gym you have to continue to guess, without first learning to hear a specific frequency. Or perhaps I just do not know where to look?
In the practice section of games like peak master, you can just practice with pink noise and even practice music. Listen to how each frequency sounds. Listen for "hoo" around 250Hz, "ho" around 500Hz, "ha" around 1kHz, "he" around 2kHz, "hee" around 4kHz and "sss" around 8kHz and try to go from there. I hope this helps.
I'm not saying it will work for everyone, but it works for me and a lot of people I know. If you try making those sounds with your mouth you'll begin to hear it. And it's only a starting place. It's just a beginners way to identify frequencies so you're not just guessing.
Open up a midi piano in your DAW and play every note from bottom to top and you cover 25 Hz to 4,000 Hz. Logic actually lets you play some notes lower and higher than the 88 key piano.
Be sure your headphones or monitors are set at a moderate volume (not too loud). Then add an EQ plugin on your white noise track, bring the overall gain down a lot (12 - 24 dB), make a narrow boost of about 10-15 dB at 4k with a Q (Bandwidth) of about 10, and then gradually sweep the frequency from 4k to 20k. You can also sweep lower than 4k to hear frequencies in white noise and compare to the piano.
I found that I have hearing damage and can't hear above 12k in one ear and 14k in the other. While unfortunate, it's not uncommon for adults to have high frequency hearing loss, especially musicians who've played live music and go to concerts without earplugs, and recording/mixing at too loud of volumes. See where your hearing range ends too, and then get yourself some good earplugs to prevent further hearing loss.
I also made flash cards with these ranges on them and memorized these ranges. They're approximate, but the numbers I chose were "round" and easy to remember:
