Mosquito Ringtone Adults can't hear

[beau_safken]

I hear that REAL loud... damn how annoying but interesting....

I heard it. Pissed me right off, too. My cat heard it and looked at me as though to say, "stupid human, turn that **** off." I acquiesced because cats are superior life forms Flatlander.

Huh- huh! Dogs are kinder, gentler, and they are more intelligent! They just don't like to flaunt their superiority, like the cats!

OKay...this is weird. I can hear this very high-pitched tone when I crank the speakers up to the highest volume. Not very irritating to me, though I can feel the insides of my ears buzzing a little. I'm at work right now, and I don't think anyone else can hear it. I replayed the sound several times, and no one has reacted.

I probably couldn't hear anything at home, because my speakers are older and emit a little static.

Oh- my speakers don't work, so I didn't hear squat!

:lfao: Oh, is that why your dog didn't react? :lfao:

Ok...I heard it this time..my daughter had headphones plugged into the computer this morning...didn't notice...heh.

However, my dog paid absolutely no attention at all. Go figure.

A high-pitched noise originally developed to keep teens from loitering has a new use. Since most adults cannot hear the noise, teens are now using it as a ringtone that only they can hear.

Full story here
and here

and here's the actual ringtone (I guess, I sure can't hear anything)

I couldn't hear a thing either. I just tested it on my children (age 7 and 4). They confirmed that there is a buzzing sound coming from you sample.

Guess it's kind of official then: I am getting old

Damn, just noticed that this topic has been covered here previously. I really should read more thoroughly. Further proof that I am getting old

It just sounds like computer sounds or maybe I didn't hear it. But my puppy is practically sitting on my laptop half asleep and he didn't seem to hear it either, nor my other dog or my birds who always react. On the other hand, the high tone dog bark silencer gets their attention at the lowest setting and mine too, it is very annoying. But my husband can't hear that at all. TW

With speakers at work turned up I could hear it.

If i had it on my phone I would need the colume up. I couldnt hear it if the volume was low.

That's all I'm going to say in response...
