Ringtone only teens can hear!!

[myth]

i have heard it many a times.

 

[Smoke]

Its all mind control.

 

[Dog--]

Now I know how a dog feels. :x

I feel like never listening to that stupid high pitch garbage ever again..
The only thing I hear is a continuous high pitch sound

When I turn it off, I can still hear it, WTF!!!

BTW, I'm 15..

 

[Smoke]

I can hear it if i turn my speakers up, but not at regular volume...

17..

Hmm, i'm wondering if most speakers can handle 20k anyway because i can hear 20k and over sounds really loud and clear (and painful) ....i think the speakers might have trouble oscilating at the frequency and therefore be forced into much lower.

I saw this on the news about a week or 2 ago and thought it was pretty interesting. I had no trouble hearing it as a matter of fact it almost was hurting my ears.

My Guinea Pig goes bloody nutty if I play this, I can hear it but need it on loud. Not nice.

 

[-Psy-]

Well I have tinitus and I'm 15. Can't hear this at all =/

What do you mean "flipped out"?

What do you mean "flipped out"?

First she ducked down. Then she ran up on my bed. Then she ran across the room faster then I have ever seen her run. Then she like leaped down my stairs. So she "Flipped Out"

I could hear it all fine.

I found a site where a guy had posted a range of sounds of various frequencies - 15,000 Hz to 21,000 Hz I think. I could hear them all, though 21,000 Hz hurt my brain D:

edit: found it! http://www.ochenk.com/entry.php?id=63 It was 10,000 to 25,000

edit2: the 25,000 Hz one is weird. I can hear *something*, but it's not until it finishes that I'm sure

Ough, I can hear the ringtone one loud and clear, but this one you've posted is a mind****. Sometimes I hear the 25,000Hz, sometimes I can't! I couldn't hear it at all at first, but then I turned up the speakers a little and it's on and off. I wonder if it's like Terminator says though and the speakers are being forced into a lower frequency because somehow it seems like it should be higher. Or maybe I'm just amplifying some other background frequencies and hearing those.

I have mild tinnitus where my ears ring noticably at night if I concentrate on the sound, yet I can still hear these so I don't think it makes a difference.

Edit: I can hear it all the time now. I think it's because I have the pitch committed to memory so I know what to focus on...or something? So strange.

Double edit: Some of the ones under 25,000hz are harder for me to hear than 25,000hz. Those I can hear sound identical to 25,000. Conclusion: I just don't think my speakers can hack it. I think they get to 23,000Hz before just reproducing the same frequency. Up to there I can hear it fine. Make that 21,000...harmonics start to dominate... Sod this I quit.

I heard it before on the radio (was 15 at the time), my mam couldn't.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

I can hear all the way to the 25,000

I was messing around with this sort of thing recently. I found that if I blew over one of my pen caps (actually the little metal bit that screws on a cheap ballpoint pen to hold in the cartridge) that pretty much all the kids could hear it, but none of the teachers. It was pretty neat. Really pissed some kids off, though.

Odd story: in the game Simcopter, there's a cheat code that plays a short clip where aliens talk to eachother. Apparently the audio the used--a sort of squeaking yelping sound--is actually guinea pig, as it completely set my sisters off, and they starting actually squeaking in turn with the computer.
