You’re Young or Old? Can you hear this sound?

Tuesday 31st of March 2009

This sound can generally only heard by people under the age of 25. It has been used as a deterrent device to keep teenagers from loitering in malls and shops, and sounds similar to a buzzing mosquito. Typically the longer you listen to it, the more annoying it gets.

I’ve done my test and thankfully I can hear it. How about you? It doesn’t matter if you crank up the volume high, if you can’t hear it, then you can’t hear it, and that’s too bad for you, cause it shows the first sign of being old! Lol. Kidding. Whatever, just try it and I’m positive that you are still young. As for me, I’ve finally found a new ringtone for my cellphone! Yay!

Played it for my 54 year old uncle.

“Do you hear that?”

“Hear what?”
