Can you hear it?

Postby BAW0343 » Fri Jun 16, 2006 12:55 am

Heard of the ringtone that only kids can hear? Well here it is! Test your hearig i guess. So now turn off any background noise unless your under 21, then turn things up and see if you can still hear it ;D

If you dont hear anything when the clip starts playing then you cant hear the tone. Take it from me,  its a little annoying, but i want to for my phone really bad :)

i played the thing 4 times, and she didnt even twitch, but then i left it playing, so the next thing itunes chose was Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm.

Whoops! and im quickly leaving the room before I get it.

:)ramos - on the run!

**EDIT**

Ef that! I'm 29 and I still hear that bloody thing! Higly disturbing sound... makes me wanna trash something! AAAAAArrrgh!  >:(  ;D

Seriously, I hear it... strange... I'm also having some mild tinigitisi-thingy ( you know, the ongoing ring in your ears), but I guess I'm not into a bad hearing-shape yet!  :)

Well I can't hear it but being the wrong side of 60 I would hardly expect to. :P

Too much standing under noisy aeroplanes. Try some industrial ear-plugs before it gets worse. Tinnitus doesn't affect your hearing but it can be bloody annoying. There is no known cure.

I think it has more to do with me attending rock-concerts and parties when I was a student. After those events, your ears feel like you've inserted a ball of cotton in them... all muffled...

To think I wasn't a regular partier, some people visit dancings and parties all weekend-long, week after week...

Hitting 40 faster than I would wish I can hear it.

I don't understand why it seems Schools are one of the few places these things work ;D

All officials need to do is put a signal jammer in the school then that would render cell phones useless, simple fix.
Why they are at it they need some in resturants, grocery stores, movie theaters...................................

I totally agree, in school the most i have used my phone for is the time. Also i only use it after school if im going to be late or need a ride home. No use for it during class.

I faintly 'hear' it but it actually hurts my ears, particularly my left one. :'(

[edit]downloaded and opened it in my audio editor: 48 kilohertz or, in my case, 48 kilohurts.:P
