Ringtone adults can't hear...

[Spork]

from the article:

The ring tone is a spin-off of technology that was originally meant to repel teenagers — not help them. A Welsh security company developed the tone to help shopkeepers disperse young people loitering in front of their stores while leaving adults unaffected. The company called their product the "Mosquito."

The link also has a sound file you can download so you can see if you can hear it... so can you hear it?

[kyojin]

[Meat_]

I'm 30 and yes I can hear it, hurts my ears in fact, sounds a lot like a plasma tv

I was gonna say the same thing, but about regular TVs

CRT's aren't quiet as high, and no where near as obnoxious. I can't stand to be within 100' of a plasma

 

[RockMonkey]

Im 16 and can only just barely hear it if I turn my head the right way... I though t I had good hearing.

 

[Herzog]

I can hear it... When I turned it off, I could still hear it for almost a second.

 

[Brett]

My ears are still feeling weird from it

 

[Herzog]

I pulled it up and analyzed that tone... it's not a true 17khz tone.

So I created this one: True-17khz.wav

Can you hear that one? I can, but only in my right ear.

 

[Herzog]

I just created an 18khz tone... I can barely pick it up, but only because I know it's there.

 

[RockMonkey]

I pulled it up and analyzed that tone... it's not a true 17khz tone.

Yup, loud and clear. And it even woke up Chicky. :-\

 

[Herzog]

oops!

I'm still messing with tones... I'm having fun with this.

Here's a 5Khz to 17Khz in 10 seconds

You don't want to hear some of the modulated tones I did... those will drive you nuts.

 

[Hickey]

Nope, can't hear it. I damaged my hearing last year, so I kinda figured I wouldn't be able to.

 

[RockMonkey]

So, it actually caused two people to drop a duce so far, eh? Fascinating.
