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.

Oooh, I have young ears! I'm 44 and I heard it. (I also had a cashier ask me for ID when I bought tobacco the other day. Granted, they probably card anyone over 35 or 40...but I'll take an ego boost any time I can get it...)

When you get older you sometimes lose the ability to hear more high frequency sounds. So they picked 25 because maybe it's the average age at which that frequency becomes hard to hear, but it's only an average.

What?

I'm 32 and I could hear that shit. Made me want to stab my eardrums.

How old are you supposed to be if it doesn't ANNOY you so much as makes you want to hunt down the person who turned it on and bash their fucking face in?

Im 35 and I could hear it, very annoying. I am immature as hell though... perhaps my eardrums are too....

My two year old however, didn't budge (he is pretty into Thomas the Tank Engine at the moment however..) ..

I'm a lot older than 25 and I heard it, so either something's wrong with their science or something's wrong with me.

It's not really science. Basically it's just a noise at high frequency. When you get older you sometimes lose the ability to hear more high frequency sounds. So they picked 25 because maybe it's the average age at which that frequency becomes hard to hear, but it's only an average.

Could not hear it but it definitely did something.
I can declare myself tone-deaf.

I heard it but it was very, very faint and sounded almost like it was originating inside my ear or head. It was annoying. I can see how younger people who would hear it even louder would be turned off by it.
