Ring Tones You Can Hear ONLY if You're Under 20 Years of Age
I learned the coolest thing today from my 14 year old.
She took me to a website of ultra-sonic ringtones. Apparently young people are using these sounds for their cell phones so that they can text message each other in school and not get caught because teachers/adults can't hear them. People who are over the age of 20 cannot hear the higher pitched ones. And so, to test this, my daughter put the volume of the computer loud and played each of the tones. To her, some of them were very loud and I couldn't hear a damn thing on any of them at 22.4kHz! It was amazing!
Ya gotta try it--click on the link above and do it with your kids.
Whaddya think?

i could hear up to 18khz
That's amazing, Doreen. Thank you for posting that. I have noise-damaged hearing (from sitting underneath siren speakers for too many years), and I can't hear above 8,000 hz.

14.8 for me.
i will see what my daughter can hear tomorrow.
Wow, I heard about this but haven't tested it out. I am with Spidey, I couldn't hear anything above 14.8. - blu.
daughter could hear up to 21.1 but could not hear the 19.9, the one directly below it. i am not sure why.
Spidey, You actually have good hearing. They assume that if you hear up to 14.9 you're in your 30's. - blu
well i am glad to hear that blu. i hope my other parts are holding up as well.
i tried it again today and i could hear the 15.8. i wonder why i can hear better today. interesting.
Hey Doreen,
Pretty cool. I can hear the 8, 10, and 12 but nothing after that. Amazing. Why don't they reverse it and make it to where the kids can't hear our 'old folks' phone when it rings? Food for thought....
Well, it's no secret that my hearing sucks, so I'm not worried about it.
Spawn says he can hear the tv even when the volume is off.
