There's a device that emits a extremely annoying high pitch sound that apparently adults can't hear,only teenagers.The device was first used by the Wyvern Theatre in an attempt to stop groups of up to 100 youngsters from gathering around Theatre Square.It has proven that the longer someone is exposed to the sound, the more annoying it becomes.I have never heard of such a thing and never knew that adults aren't capable of hearing it.Very interesting stuff,and funny too.

yup, its my ringtone!!!

I can hear it fine. My ears hurt a tiny bit about 10 minutes after hearing it.

Yeah, its called the mosquito ring sometimes. I just heard of it not long ago myself. I can hear it about 5% of the time. I had my kids come listen and they can hear it clear as a bell. Something about the older you get the less amout of high frequency range we can hear. Very interesting. I guess kids can use thier phones in school without getting busted as much.

I can hear it loud and clear on the links posted ecspecially the one above. Hubby couldn't hear it at all though. That makes me feel like I am not so old I guess. I can see how it could blend in with background noise though, and not get detected by adults.

i can hear it well too...i find it so hard to beleive people can't hear that

I can hear it and I know my hearing is getting worse. I also think it is wrong for kids to use it to avoid detection in school. The phones shouldn't even be allowed in the classroom imo. Yes, I am an old fuddy duddy.

i hear it very loud and clear.

I could barely hear it.

I turned up the volume, and, well.... I'm grabbing my walker and
lurching back to the couch on JenBayles' heels (*look out for that pepple in
the carpet, dear...and, do go around David, lying in the floor...)

I'm 16...yet on the first two links I heard nothing...on that last link there was a slight buzz...but I would never be able to use it for anything...
EDIT: All it sounds like to me is that buzz you here when you turn on an old computer screen or tv and its still warming up...otherwise nothing...

I can't hear nothin. Maybe if I put on my bifocals I can hear it better.

It's really soft, but I can still hear it. Barely.

First link I couldn't hear at all.

Second link I heard just fine..........through one ear!

I turned my head and realized that the sound went away. I can only hear it through my right ear, and when I turn my head so my right ear faces away from the speakers I can't hear it.
