I've heard these sounds all my life, as recently as a few years ago. I'll be 50 next year.

The ability to perceive high frequency sounds decreases statistically with age -- but that certainly doesn't mean that all people lose the ability to hear them when they're older (and it also doesn't mean that all people can hear them when they're younger).

It's a distribution. Probably a normal distribution, but I don't know that for certain.
