Can You Hear This Shit?
Over at Buzzfeed, they posted a link to The Teenager Audio Test that produces a tone only young whores under the age of 25 can hear. Supposedly. You might have already known about this shit since it was developed in 2005 under the name The Mosquito. It's used to fuck with teenagers, basically. The annoying sound is meant to keep young ones from hanging around malls, grocery stores, etc...
Click here to test yourself. Now, I'm over the age of 25 and I heard that mess. It's the same ringing in my ears I get after listening to Fishsticks Paltrow bitch about something.
But I have the maturity and humor of a 12-year-old, so it makes sense that I have the sense of hearing of a teenager too.

24, heard it, ugh.
lol @ CantThinkofagoodusername...it's just like that Mosquito thingy...even my mom who's in her mid-50s could hear it
Man, I hear shit like that all the time. Maybe not quite so intense, but I'm always picking up on the background noise from electronics or... whatever.
Christ, I'm going to be 53 in a couple of months AND I have tinnitus AND hearing loss (just had a test done last year when the stupid tinnitus showed up) and not only did I hear that sound, but it friggin' HURT! A LOT and sounded a LOT like the tinnitus crap which is already in my ears most of the time.
That sucked. :(
I'm 20 and it sounded like someone repeatedly shoving an elongated screwdriver through my head. Painful.
Srsly though I've heard a few shops/shopping centres here in the UK have The Mosquito thing (haven't come across any near my area), and I think that sucks so badly. Not every under 25 year old is an anti-social bastard, so it's unfair to torture every young person with this crap.

Cos things are gonna get better
I'm 23 and I heard it. My sister, who's 25, heard it. My 52-year-old mother heard it. She has hearing problems, too.
I wonder how they researched this. Or did they?

39 with hearing loss and I heard that shite. It also freaked out the dog.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mrs. K. squeezed my ass. I can die happy.
I'm 35 and I heard it!
Twenty-four here, and I couldn't hear it. My brain is old and crotchety before its time, I guess.

I'm over 25 and I heard it. What's up with that? It is annoying.
My cats nor I heard it. Are you sure, people? You really heard something?
Christ! I'm 35 and that was like being stabbed in the ears with knitting needles. Fuck a duck, that hurt.
Sounds like the Teenage Audio thing is a failure... I guess I'm not much over 25 but I heard it clear as a long annoying buzzing/ringing sound...
Oh Mary! That shit is the worst noise in the world. I am 35 and can hear that. I am slightly relieved to know that I'm not losing my hearing (yet) but ouch!
I heard it and I'm 52. It's very clear and kind of loud, but I didn't find it particularly annoying.

I am 31 and didn't hear it, but my dog arose out of a deep snore filled sleep and started barking. He stopped when it stopped playing. I waited a couple of minutes and hit it again, and he arose again...lol. Poor little guy!! So, its not only teens that can hear it!

Oy! That sounds like fun. Nothing like a little harmless torture to calm the savage beast, I always say:)

Maybe I'll just email her the link or something. She's very very conservative, unlike myself.

Come to think of it, she has two brothers on her father's side and they act the same way so I think its hereditary. When they get together its like they have one mind and since she's the oldest she gives the orders.

I'm 33 and I've worked around loud machinery for years and that was the worst sound ever. Ouch!

It's so funny she ran. It annoyed the hell outta me too. Alas, PTSD means that I won't run but start ranting and raving like an angry lunatic if I listen too long. I could totally tell. It took me almost a year to train myself against the fire alarm tests here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She ran and it was so funny because I had it on low with plans to slowly turn it up. I had no need.
My daughter was a preemie who just turned 13. I don't know if anyone knows about erratic preemie behavior. She's ALWAYS getting into trouble and beating the shit out of boys. I'm working closely with her pediatrician but there's only so much I can do. I finally found something to tame her ass. Nobody knows my joy right now!
Come to think of it, she has two brothers on her father's side and they act the same way so I think its hereditary. When they get together its like they have one mind and since she's the oldest she gives the orders. When they get together they're always over her step mother's house. Maybe I should let her in on this.

Ringtone...actually should be pretty easy. I don't know how those things work, tho. There's a link down the way (page 3, I think) - that offers them in different formats...I betcha you could hook up one of those:)

Edit: I'll get my brother to put it on her phone as my ringtone. I just have to figure out how to get her to not change it. And I'll put it on my phone so I can put her in line when the teacher calls me about her antics. It's a plan

Edited to say I was doing it wrong. I can hear them all. You know. I used to fall asleep in this class I was taking. I mean, I was paying for this class..and it was boring but not THAT boring. And so I moved myself up to the front and I fell asleep up there too. Apparently, it was the hum from the lights. I guess I'm just sensitive like that.

So, I came back to this cuz one of those made me go to sleep. No lie. I typed this post and went straight to my bed to nap. LOL!

Give me the good news.......Where do you get your hair done?
I heard it, even with the volume turned down.
I turned 48 last month.
Does this mean I can still pull off wearing Ed Hardy, too?

Aw Deb don't let age get you down. You were one of the reasons I posted on Dlisted at night...you're one of the most intelligent and funniest posters ever!
I heard that stupid sound too...are my eyes going to explode or something now?

LMAO. Though, I think a Taser would be more satisfying when rounding the little monsters up.
You MUST get that ringtone. Gotta keep the Cherubs in line.

Can't hear it. I am 43.
My broke down, elderly old ass (44) heard that shit. All my birds are screaming their fucking pea brain heads off. This is while I have a sinus/inner ear infection. I call bullshit on this test.

LOL @ Candy
Add it as a ringtone on her phone for when you call.
I've been avoiding this post all day. I tried it and I heard the sound then I called my daughter in , played it and that little wild fucker ran! I turned it off, called her back, (I had the volume on 15) played it again and she ran again! I just stopped laughing. I called her back and asked her what's wrong, she said "ITS THE SAME SOUND THEY USE TO GET US IN THE LUNCH ROOM!"
Is this for sale? It would eliminate the amount of times I have to go out to her school or tell her off on the phone. I'll just put it in my purse and play it so she can shut the fuck up when she's proclaiming 'it wasn't me'! Over and over again whilst in the principal's office

Seasonal changes make my ears and sinuses fooked up, to say the least. When the barometric pressure changes (can't remember if it's up or down) the lights affect me and sometimes almost make me pass out if my ears and sinuses are blocked. It's weird.
I think I have sinus pressure right now that made the noise actually painful to my eardrums. If I went to a store and suddenly heard that noise I'd never think it was deliberate. I'd be sure I was having a seizure or somehow ingested pcp. So we all hear it which means most/all non seniors are shopping under those conditions in other countries?!

If you can't hear it, never play it again. You're being sneak attacked lol.
Well, I can't hear shit and I certainly did not hear a damn thing when I clicked!!!
However, I have an inner ear disease that has taken ALL my hearing in the left ear so, I am excused!
