Who Can Hear it???

[ShiftFMX]

I dont know if you guys know about this "teen tone" they have released, Its a tone that only "younger" ears can hear. I guess stores in Britian have started broadcasting this sound in their higher class stores to keep teens out!

its been out for awhile. i can hear it.

[ShiftFMX]

Yeah, I heard about it about 4 months ago, but I just found it online and thought I'd post it

I hear it perfectly. Have any of you guys noticed when you turn on the tv and you hear it making a nosise but it stays black for a few seconds. Well i noticed that when other people do that they dont hear the noise and if it dont turn on in a second or two they keep on hitting the button.

[400exc]

so only younger people can hear it???? thats wierd... and yea i can hear it easily

[rooster400ex]

i can hear it fine but it makes me feel weird...

[Scro]

I'm sure an older person with good hearing can hear it...lol...It is just a high pitch tone isn't it?

[procircuit406ex]

me and josh can hear it perfect and my mom cant hear nothin except the tv in the other room

[ShiftFMX]

Yeah, they say Generally people over 0 cant hear it. I turned up full blast on my Computer to the point where I could barely stand it and asked my mom if she could hear anything, she said no.

It goes along with the idea that your hearing degrades as you get older. you loose the top end and bottom end of the hearing range, but obvisoully it doesnt happen to everyone.

And they play it out side of the stores because they had kids loitering outside them all the time....

[LT250RMan]

That noise sucks its annoying.

[Hon300ex]

ahh it doesnt work for me! i need to hear this im so curious now!

[organiz3d_chaos]

My co worker put it on his cell phone and played it on loop at sat it in another co workers office and he about went crazy... the older 2 co workers couldnt hear any thing

[Hon300ex]

That one is fainter and I am willing to bet that more people cant hear that one. If you listen to it long enough you get used to it and can barely hear it.

[trick250r]

my grandma can hear it :confused:

[theTman]

my mom heard it...shes 49

[Ghost-Rider]

[Ruby Soho]

[TheX1992]

My parents heard it. But I had to yell their names 5 times for them to come over to the computer....

[PismoLocal]

I can hear it just fine (im 19), I turned it up so that you could hear it all the way on the other side of the office and asked my co-workers if they could hear any thing were all like "what sound are you talking about???"

[Mxjunkie]

[standardryder]

[NorCalRacer]

I hear both loud and clear, but I'm 26. I listen to my loud stereo daily, loud engines and power tools though.... Pretty annoying, wish I could get a little deafer and tone that stuff out like the old fogies:D

33 with bad hearing and i heard it.

[amonomous]

yeah i heard it
it actually gave me a headache
but neither of my parents could hear it

[Iliketogofast]

There is a crackling noise in the second one... Does anyone else hear that? The first one was really easy to hear, but my mom couldn't hear it. She can't hear the second either... I could hear both, however.

[organiz3d_chaos]

My mom is 49 and she could barley hear it, my brother is 30 and he could hear it good....

[ballisticpb]
