I was browsing and ran across this. I clicked it and heard a VERY VERY faint whine, not even what I would call audible. Boy was sitting about 6 feet away watching a movie and he said "What is that?". I waited a few minutes and did it again. He can hear it very clearly but I wouldn't even notice it if I didn't know.

Same here. My son says it's loud, but I can barely hear anything.

My son was telling me about this. I did'nt really believe him so I looked it up.
I'm not an MSNBC-nik but I chose this link over the nytimes one.
He can hear the microwave tone (I thought it was broken).
He can hear the coffee maker tone two rooms away and I can barely hear it.:lmao:

He said it is pretty loud and annoying but I can't hear it other than a very faint high pitch whine. :lol:

To be sure he wasn't goofing on me I clicked it again while he was engrossed in a movie and he immediately gave me the googly eye. :lol:

It's called the mosquito ringtone. Anyone under the age of twenty-five can hear it as a high pitched noise, because of the frequency it rings at. Kids use it in schools to get text messages without the teacher hearing it.

:jameo: My ears!! OW!! My ears!!! :jameo:

:yeahthat: Very annoying.

I'm glad I didn't have the volume turned up all the way on the monitor. Very annoying high pitched squeal.

I heard it and I'm 25... of course my husband says I can hear a cricket fart on the other side of the house. Guess I won't hear it next year?

:itsbob:

Not even a HINT of a sound, but BG is sitting next to me saying.. "Make it STOP!!"

Who'd a thought, hearing loss after 20 years of tanks and artillery.. oh and assorted other items that go "BANG" real loud.

Girl downloaded it on her phone a while back and when she kept getting texts she would giggle....I heard it and after about the 5th one told her to change the ringtone or I was going to take the phone away from her

From what I heard you are suppose to start losing your hearing after the age of 25....it's starts with the high pitch sounds and the only ones that you can hear are the lower ones when you are very old

I will be 43 in February and I can still hear the "whine" when you turn on the vacuum, the microwave and the irritating noise that my bluetooth makes when it is charging....so the theory works for some, not for all

What?

I am very hard of hearing...I could hear a faint buzzing sound but that's about all...VERY faint....In the next room is my 23 YO son, his 23 YO GF and my 20 YO son and they came storming in where I was and wanted to know what the hell I was doing...They all 3 could hear it very loud...They said it was very annoying...I thought they were joking until the 23 YO girl went back to the bathroom and I played it and she hollered from way in the back that she could hear it...Strange...

Sounds like the piercing shrill that comes out of the TV at my parent's house. No one else can hear it and I have to leave the room. I'm nearly 40 by the way.

Nope

Turn 37 next Saturday. Didn't hear a thing. Not even a hint of sound.

I can't hear it at all, but the voices in my head really hate it!

Ouch... 23 and I can REALLY hear it.

I didn't hear a thing, but then again I'm pretty old.

Whatever it was hurt my ears. High pitched sound.

When it first came out, it was called the "B" Tone - originally made to keep kids from loitering in British stores (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5434687)... Typically, people over 18 cannot hear it - especially in males.

As we get older we start to lose hi-frequency detection. Women lose hi-frequency detection later on somewhere in their mid to late 30's... Men lose hi-frequency detection around 25, but there are exceptions to the rule.

I heard it just fine. So, what does that mean?

And, like Vince said, it's kind of painful.

And, like Vince said, it's kind of painful. I guess normally the older you get you tend to lose hearing in the high pitch range. Some don't lose it.

It hurt my ears so bad, my ears are still hurting and it made my teeth hurt. I don't understand why anybody would willingly want to have that as their ringtone. :twitch:

On a side note, I had it up in the office (curious) and there are several people in here younger than me, and many older. Nobody else said anything about hearing it.

At my last hearing screening, they said I had excellent hearing and I couldn't hear it either. I'll have to test it out tonight at home on the unsuspecting kids!! :lmao:

:jameo: My ears!! OW!! My ears!!! :jameo:


I heard it just fine. :lol:

:yeahthat:


But have you seen the size of my ears???

I played it and both of my sons (teens) put their hands over their ears and said "What is that noise!". I could barely hear it.

I sent it to my mom at her work. She couldn't hear a thing, but called over a few co-workers and some of them covered their ears. The oldest was 21.

The first time I didn't hear a thing so I called my son. He could hear it but he told me to unplug my headphones from the speakers. :lol:

Then I heard it.
