Mosquito ringtone, secret sounds for teenagers.

The new mosquito ringtone sound, it's spreading like wild fire. In what's more commonly known as the mosquito ringtone, this craze has caught the attention of some large ringtone companies wanting to sell the ringtones to teenagers. What was once originally used to drive away unwanted loitering of teenagers in certain sections of London has caught the attention of teenagers worldwide. Being able to hear that you have a text message or call without your parents or teachers knowing? Almost paradise for teenagers.

This ringtone is set at 17 khz, which is supposedly not heard by adults 30 and up due to hearing loss and other factors of aging that affect hearing. Most frequencies that are range from 8 - 16 khz can be heard by most people. Frequencies from 17 - 22.4 khz are the ultrasonic tones that adults can't hear or have trouble hearing.

I decided to put this to the test. I went over to http://www.ultrasonic-ringtones.com/ and decided to test all the ultrasonic frequencies that they had on their site. I could practically hear all of them except the 22.4 khz frequency. By the way, I'm an adult, but still won't reveal my age! I'm pretty sure if the ringtone was set at a low volume, the 17 khz frequency would suffice to any unwary adults. Whether this will be another newfound fad for teenagers, disturbance or nuisance to adults and teachers alike, this ringtone is here to stay.
