BAh! BS, just another way to get kids to buy ring tones.

My dad is 68 and he can hear it. I'm 28.

Your hearing must be pretty bad if you can't hear that. It's not even that high pitched.

I heard it. That sucks the big one. My mum couldn't hear it, though.

It made our two dogs leave the room.

I don't see how age has anything to do with it.. every single person born has slightly different ability to hear various frequencies..

As said above, it's just a marketing ploy to make youngens spend the $4.95 or whatever it is jamster will charge for it :P

I can see the MTV ads already .. :(

32 and with a little extra volume than normal I could hear it - it would mess me around a bit if I listened to it for like 5 mins. But on just adequate volume, I doubt a teacher across the room could hear it easily.

I actually tried this on my PC at work - it doesn't have speakers, but the VOIP phone is used as my speaker and I could not hear it on that. Might have something to do with the quality of the speaker in it.

My little nephew(5 yearold) could hear it when I turned the volume down to the point where I could no longer hear it. Not sure if it was the one mentioned in the link above as I got it from another site. 17kHz signal.
