Can you hear it?

This is the sound emitted by those teen deterent devices. Apparently it can't be heard by anyone over the age of 20. I'm 28 and I can hear it, in fact it made me feel a bit queasy and gave me a headache after only hearing it for about 10 seconds. I feel sorry for any babies/children taken to shops fitted with these devices.

Some teens are downloading this to use on thier phones as a ringtone in school so they don't have to turn it off, as the teachers can't hear it. Shame I'm not thier teacher Laughing

Kids are damn clever buggers, and so tech aware.

I think these bloody things are a disgrace. Put office workers in the cop shops dealing with the papers, put bobbies on the beat and deal with the kids like human beings, not dogs.
As for you hearing the noise Wenchy, perhaps its mental age rather than physical ??

Yeah must be mental age, If not it must go by the age you feel, I still feel like I'm 19 Razz

I've added a link to the sound if you are brave enough to listen, my head is still hurting.

Have you got a pop-up stopper? It opens a webpage which then opens your media player.
