I know this is old news but i just came across this. Its a noise that teens can hear but older people cannot hear for some reason. I just played it very loud in front of my parents and neither of the could hear it, it actually works.

yeah i didn't read the thread but I saw it on tv, has something to do with once you're older you cant hear certain frequencies etc etc....yeah.

**punk_pntballar** · December 22nd, 08:18 PM

I can hear it because im young

. When my mom gets home im going to try it out on her, and if she can't hear it I will laugh.

Neither of my parents could hear it but me and my bro could. This one girl at school had this as her ringtone.

**punk_pntballar** · December 22nd, 08:27 PM

Does anybody know where i can download it? It would come in handy when my phone accidently goes off.

**bobide** · December 22nd, 08:45 PM

man, that sure is up there.

They use the tone in europe and such. They planned to play it in front of convience stores so teens wouldn't loter there. Stupid huh.

**punk_pntballar** · December 22nd, 08:46 PM

Yea but they messed up on the design. My mom couldn't hear it until she put it right up to her ear.

**burningcow422** · December 22nd, 08:59 PM

We messed around with this stuff last year. Most of my teachers last year were able to hear it. My old earth science teacher freshman year was able to hear it and she's in hear late 40s-early 50s.

1.) That's what vibrate is for.
2.) If you have to hide your ringtone in school, you probably shouldn't be using your phone in school anyways.

truf! tell your dumbass friends to stop calling/txting you during class, it's only for emergencies at that time

Wait, h/o... in the video, when they did the noise, was there supposed to be a tune or something? All I heard was some wierd tone but it wasn't music or anything... I hope I'm not going deaf

**Homeless Box** · December 22nd, 10:27 PM

its just a solid tone, no tune

***Wes Himself*** · December 22nd, 10:38 PM

It depends on what king of volumes your used to.

Like if you're like me I listen to a lot of loud things. Am around concerts and have ear phones in my ears on full blast when I'm not in my car with the subs kickin my ass. Your ear drum gets stretched out and cant vibrate as well when your older or if your subject to lots of loud noises.

I havent tried this one yet but the one that was on the commercials I couldnt hear at all.

But when you accidentally turn your phones volume up **** happens.

**Mangobutter** · December 22nd, 10:48 PM

i could but my dad couldnt, crazyy

**mavsfan31** · December 22nd, 10:51 PM

A lot of kids have it in school, I hate it.

**Tomba** · December 22nd, 10:51 PM

i actually have it on my phone just to screw around. it works on my rents.

***Wes Himself*** · December 22nd, 10:56 PM

I just put it on my phone.

It actually kinda make my ears feel weird. I Dont see how I could hear it if there wasnt complete silences though.

**666paintballer** · December 22nd, 11:10 PM

I really dont see the point in this tone. If I were to put the volume up on my phone, obviosuly knowing it was going to make noise, the last thing I would want to hear is this annoying high pitched wistle. Even if im in class, I rather feel my phone vibrate once, then piss everyone off with this stupid tone.
A kid in my math class had it on his phone and it went off once, odd enough the teacher, in his mid 50's atleast, picked it right up.
