Sound that adults cant hear (great ringtone)

Did you know that as you get older you lose teh ability to hear really high pitch sounds?

If you are a teenager, you will probably be able to here the sound linked to below. if you are old, you probably cant hear it. thats cause your hearing degrades as you get older so you cant hear it if your old.

To test it, listen to it, and then find someone older or younger adn see if they can hear it (a parent or a child is a great test subject)

its pretty amusing when you can hear it and others cant.

It works as a great ringtone if you are a student cause most teachers cant hear the sound, so only you and your classmates will know that your phone is ringing.


Listen Here
I can hear the sound, can you?

If dogs had cellphones, this would be their ringtone.

I could hear it but would never want it for my phone. :?

One of my teachers plays that sound REALLY loudly off her computer to make us stop talking during class whenever we talk too much. She cant even hear it, but it gives us all headaches :roll:

she turns it off after we stop talking.
shes only had to do it twice since she found it.

Im glad it doesnt give me a headache, but i feel sorry for the others in the class that are really bothered by it

Strange that Jesse can hear it, since he is 29, and one of my 40 year old family members can hear it.
