Hope I'm not ruining anything for ya, Mowgli. But, I searched google for the title of the sound clip and found this article. It's a sound emmited by a device outside of a convenient store meant to repel loitering youth.

Vibraters make clearly audible noise. In a quiet office, it's loud.

 

 

I was thinking more along the line of college classroom and such things. A loud pitch sound....anywhere is usually heard by the majority as we have seen on this board. Unless you go to your highschool reunion when you're 50+ and you're showing off your new hearing aid. hah.

You're right coty. And you're right too Sam. It started as a product to annoy loitering punks outside shops. Kids, being the ever resourceful ones, have co-opted it to use as a "stealth" ringtone.

 

The older you get sooner or later you'll not be able to hear the high pitched tone. We all lose high pitch hearing, some sooner than others (depends alot on how much loud music you listen to). I grew up with my dad being in a band so I've been subjected to a lifetime of loud music and at 38 I don't hear a damn thing except the background ambient street noise in the clip.

 

I wanted to see if this really worked. The average age at which people no longer hear it is 25. so if you can hear it older than that, kudos for not ruining your ears with rock n roll.

And the makers of the product:

I wanted to experiment because of course I'm thinking OH THE FUN I COULD HAVE WITH THIS AND A DUFFLE BAG AT A LITTLE LEAGUE GAME..... muh ha ha ha ha
