Teen Repellent? - Page 2

I hear it just fine. Sounds like one of the tones you get on a hearing test. I'm probably due for a hearing test seeing how I'm Older.

AMosely · 05-30-2006, 12:32 PM

Heard it. 32.

Anyone notice that it fades out?

hmm... now let's try the one that was DLed from the site. Make sure your volume isn't too high, because it can be pretty annoying...

Cing's spent too much time on the range. I can hear it. I'm 37. Is that young or old?

There was a story about this on NPR Friday. A guy invented the Mosquito Teen Repellant that emits a high pitched tone that many adults can't hear at all but which drives teens nuts. A guy installed it as his shop to drive away some hoodlums.

Now it's being marketed as a ringtone for kids to text message each other in class without the teacher noticing.

Edit: apparently I'm "older" and life stops at 45.

haha I remember watching that on cnn. It's funny about it being turned around as ringtone, although I can't imagine it being that effective unless your teachers are in the 50-60 range.

Does this thread have anything to do with this ringtone?

Well now techno-savvy pupils have recorded the ultra-high sound - audible only to under-20s- onto their cell phones, and are now receiving calls and text messages in class - without teachers having the faintest idea of what is going on.

The kids call it Teen Buzz, and it's spreading it from phone to phone via text messages and Bluetooth.

Yes, actually. I'm trying to replicate it with my own sources. For the 2nd one, to get it's true sound, you may want to put it on an MP3 player. My mother cannot hear anything, and she thought I was toying with her.

I also posted it here on the STEAM forums:

I can hear that one just fine. And now that I turned my speakers up, I can hear the first one fine, too. Definitely not the right frequency for what you're looking for...

Oh, and Leejo, most of my hearing loss is low frequency....

**WhiskeySix** · 05-31-2006, 01:41 AM

depending on the frequency, it could be an issue w/ your speakers... if it's really only 8kHz, then it's more likely a problem w/ your ears

**PanzerHans** · 05-31-2006, 04:27 AM

I can hear it. 33

Obi · 05-31-2006, 07:21 PM

18. I'm hearing it. The second one is rather painful though. Ouch.

**IRS_Agent** · 05-31-2006, 07:57 PM

I can hear it- young.
