PSA teachers : also people who like weird things
go to www.freemosquitoringtones.org
Teens are using high pitched frequencies on their cell phones to alert each other to texts/calls in school. Anyone over the age of 24 can't hear the ringtone.
We actually did an experiment in school today with a 16 year old, me (26), my boss (37) and the other ta (48-50ish).
Everything under 24 years old the teen could hear, but the rest of us couldn't. Once it hit 24 I could almost hear the tone, at 30 and under I could hear it plainly but the older two couldn't. 40 and under my boss could hear it, 60 and under the other coworker did. By the time they got to 60 the teen and I had our hands over our ears because it hurt so much, while the other two could barely hear it.
I just played with it with Dh, and sure enough the first time he heard it was the "39 and under" age group.

No joke, we even had our two guinea pig kids fess up that they used this ringer to text during class to each other.
My cat ran over to the computer, dog didn't even notice the "all" tone.

[QUOTE]I could hear a few of the 24 and under ones, but not all of them. I'm 24. Damn it!

I had to kick a kid out of the library the other day for trying to pick a fight over his phone. Can you be on your phone? Sure. Can you start harassing other people and remain in the library? No.

I could barely hear the highest 24 year old one, the under 30 one was pretty easy.

I wish someone would do a study on kids hearing over the next 10 years because of earbuds/ear phones. They listen to their music really loudly and I can't believe it does good things when the speaker is literally in the ear.

IT has already gotten worse in the past 10 years or so. I can only imagine now as it just seems the music gets louder and lourder.
