my boss was playing that at work. he couldn't hear it so he kept playing it and it was driving me nuts! lol I didn't know what it was so I finally went over and asked what the noise was and he started laughing and explained it to me.
I'm 19 but I don't think my hearing is all that great (all that damn loud music  ) but I heard it loud and clear

This same technology is being used by stores that have a problem with teenagers loitering outside and causing trouble. They play a loud annoying sound in this frequency range and it gets the kids to leave while not bothering the paying customers (who are usually older). damn kids, stay off my lawn

Looking at the chart, it looks like nobody will be able to hear the sound over 18.

I've heard about this in a science class...we lose some hair cells that let us hear when we listen to loud music, but certain types just die with age, so over time you can hear less and less frequencies. Apparently this frequency is one that the cells die off for before 20...
interesting, but I really have no use for a cell phone that rings without older people hearing, that's what vibrate is for... --------------------  "I bet you drive a standard." "You could make some money off that bet." :D |

I wonder how many people get this ring tone mixed up with the ACTUAL silent ring tone found here:The Silent Ringtone I guess its for assigning to people you dont wanna hear from lol -------------------- |
