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 rolleyes.gif ) 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 saw the commercial too, they dont actually play it on the commercial....they want you to text their number so they can send it to you & charge you $$$$$$$$$$!

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

yeah haha, they charge you for the ring tone and then they charge you like $26 a month after that haha.

And as for the silent ring tone i've never heard of it before! thats pretty cool actually, i wish i would've known about that about a year ago though haha.

something is wrong... I can hear it too biggrin.gif

p.s.: there are few questions... like, what about volume? What about frequency range of speakers? wink.gif I tried that few months ago. I had that in my cell phone as ringtone. When I played it and turned volume to the max, everyone I asked heard that laugh.gif . And when I lowered volume level just a bit, they didn't hear that at all wink.gif

bingo in regards to the freq. range of the speakers smile.gif
that's why i scoff at the commercial
SCOFF I SAY!!!!
although i'm sure most phones can hit the frequency, i just find it kinda stupid.

btw, i can't hear it on the tv, but i def heard the mp3

I think that's cool, although you might want to do a hearing test for each individual teacher. I can hear that tone. I'm a teacher and I'm 44. tongue.gif

Perhaps frequencies above 17kilohertz would be harder for older teachers (like me) to hear.

I think I have really good hearing. I can hear TV's in other rooms, just teh electricity buzz. It could be muted but I'd know if it's on because I can hear a high pitched noise. Same goes for my computer monitor and pc itself. it drives me nuts, to be honest.
