Okay so supposedly this ringtone is too high frequency for ADULTS to hear.
I can hear it perfectly, but I'm 17. My computer teacher had no clue I was playing it at all.

So the thing is, I want to see how old you guys are and if this frequency is still in your rage.

Post your age and whether or not you can hear it.

If not, I can set it as a ringtone on my phone and text-message in class!

Some people where I work were playing around with this today. The guy who sits in the cube next to me couldn't hear it. He is 42. I could hear it very easily, and I am 30. One other person who is 33 couldn't hear it unless he cranked it up loud.
Now we just have it in a countinuous loop seeing who walks by and notices something.

Yes ... very annoying.


However .... I let my finace hear it & she went crazy, lol. She was like "turn that **** off!". It seemed to hurt her ears worse than mine .... and I didn't even have the volume up much.


KBCobra95, it took a minute or two for it to load for me. Just give it a little bit.

I'm 27, heard that sound fine, other guy in cube-land (29) heard it find. The older guys (40-55) didn't know I was playing anything and had to ask me if I pressed play yet.

24 - I can hear it. Sounds to be around 15-18kHz so a lot of speakers will hardly reproduce that frequency. Reminds me of the sound of a CRT monitor or TV on.
