Mosquito ring tone
Nov. 26th, 2006 01:56 pmMy dad told me about this. I hadn't heard of it. It's a cell phone ringtone that is pitched at a frequency that most people over 30, supposedly, can't hear. It's based on a device that is used by British shopkeepers to repel unwanted teenagers from their stores.
You can download and listen to it (if you can hear it) here: http://www.jetcityorange.com/MosquitoRingtone.html
I can hear it, but barely. It's definitely at the very upper limit of hearing for me (and incredibly annoying -- it's like the high-pitched whine that some electrical equipment makes, such as an old TV set). Now I'm very curious what it sounds like to other people.
