Can you hear this?
 

This is a story about kids using the teen repeller noise as a ring tone.
It also has an mp3 of the sound - I can hear it, and I'm 30.... can you?

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Err, unless you are selling something, perhaps I should move the post?

Re: Can you hear this?

Me thinks it is all that bob the builder stuff that is getting to you Mr LM lol

And yes I can hear the sound and it is damn annoying and I am 39+ one or two years ;)

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Strange. I had my hearing tested a few months back and came out with some excellent results but didn't hear a thing :shrug:

Re: Can you hear this?
 

That is so very annoying to me at 18. Seems kind of scammy though, I doubt that most mobile phone transducers can produce those kind of frequencies at volume. I may just be plain wrong tho ;)

Re: Can you hear this?
 

At normal volume, the only high-pitched irritating whine I could hear was the news-reader.

If I turned up the volume a bit, though, I could hear "teen repeller", though.

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Downloaded the sound and played it............ bugger all, can't hear a thing :shrug:

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I got the same - NOTHING!!! :confused:

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I can hear it easily - and it's horrible :disturbd:

Re: Can you hear this?
 

ooooooooow I heard it that time, but I did have it up quite loud. I've got tinnitus already!? :eh:

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Well, thats what my tinnitus sounds like already......:disturbd:

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I've just been playing it at very high volume to my son and daughter I could see by the distressing look on their faces that they were hearing it. Yet I could have heard a pin drop. :)

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I couldn't hear it and I'm 21, nor could my brother who is 19. I'll have to try it on my Girlfriend as she has a huge range of hearing

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Nope!But at 53 I would have been worried anyway..it would have meant I'd wasted all my time going to rock concerts.;)

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I think I will use it as the gap between tracks when I make a cd for the car, the kids don't like my music anyway so it makes sense to annoy them as much as possible :D

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I could hear it and it was annoying :)

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I can hear this clear as day... made me jump too...

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Some of the kids have this on their phones in school. Thankfully I can hear it and just confiscate them :)

Re: Can you hear this?
 

My phone can, and now its my message alert, it doesn't even hurt my ears, and i'm 17... Some repeller that is!

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I can hear it dog's can hear it my father who is 62 can hear it...

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Im 34 and I can hear it.

Ermm it would seem that this technology is flawed. I think I can hear it because I have never been into loud music at clubs or concerts. It seems from the replies here that a lot of adults can hear it so its not actually fit for the purpose that it is sold. They arent cheap either!

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Someone is going to make their millions off this and retire in some nice warm country.

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Reminds me of some experiement we did back in school where we increased the pitch higher and higher until no one could hear it.
Dogs however would be able to and a few minutes later the whole surrounding houses had dogs barking away.

Re: Can you hear this?
 

i got hold of this ringtone a while back and put in on my phone, taking it to work with me. funny thing is, some of the older guys I work with actually cannot hear it!!!! most of us could easily hear it however.

dogs can hear approximately 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, whereas humans hear approximately 30Hz to 20,000Hz. I have a clip of our dog on my phone going MAD when I produced a 10 second 23,000 cycle burst. VERY funny!!!

Re: Can you hear this?
 

Nemmie - noooooo, au contrare! I can hear it too -

I used to go to lots of gigs (to see bands like 'A' and Symposium, saw both more than 50x each heehee) - I started to have to wear earplugs, and I so got told off by one of the bands for not wearing them once! Served me right really oops:

and as Ramrod said - that noise is what tinnitus sounds like... :(

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I can hear it aswell.

Re: Can you hear this?
 

yes i can hear it, i read this about three weeks ago, there are some smutty varations around aswell, where they turned it in to an adult message tone :D

Re: Can you hear this?
 

40 years old here, and a lot of gigs (I was quite fond of the 1980s 'New York Noise' genre. Not for the faint-eared ones)

Frankly, I'm quite pleased to hear anything after said barrage. This particular mp3 though falls on deaf ears :)

Re: Can you hear this?
 

I cant hear it at 19

Re: Can you hear this?
 

EDIT: i couldnt here it in the news report but can the mp3 download
