Ringtone adults cannot hear

You see, what this is is a high-piched noise that can barely be perceived by the human ear. As you grow older, your ears are gradually destroyed and you lose the ability to hear high-pitched noises.

I read about this in an article on a guy who invented an anti-teen device.

Edit: This is wierd, I just played it. I can barely hear it, but my mom can hear it fully. That's wierd.

It peirces my ears when I hear it for some reason and my mom can't hear it.

You become an adult when you're 21.

You become a full grown adult at different stages. You start Puberty at different ages, so when you start puberty when your 14, you will be an adult at 21. It varies :P It takes 7 years to go out of puberty.


Anyway, I hear that high pitched noise all the time, drives me bonkers.
 
My mom doesn't believe it. >_> "It's just one of those things kids say to drive thier parents crazy". She thinks everything is a conspiracy.
 
I can't imagine what anyone would hope to accomplish by using this as a "ringtone" other than getting someone to punch them in the face. Because that's exactly what I'm going to do the next time I hear that sound.
 
Well, I definately heard it, it gave me a headache. However, my dad couldn't hear it, although he's 55. I guess it works to some extent!

Well. I think this theory is just about destroyed. >.>
 
Still if someone like a teacher did hear that, they wouldn't know what it is, unless they trace it.

He's almost correct: It's the sound sensors in the cochlea that die, with the ones that deal with high pitches dying first.
 
Don't double post, you are basically on VERY thin ice, so I'd watch it if I were you.
