You're on the right track in Cool Edit. The other choices are sine
and triangle. Choose sine since it generates fewer harmonics and is
easier on the speakers.

You should be able to hear 190 Hz. Audible frequencies are from
around 20 - 30 Hz up to 15,000 hz or a bit more for those of us who
didn't go to a lot of concerts in our youth.

Hope this helps.
