Ringtone only youngsters can hear… What?
This may be the coolest thing ever. I have been tormenting my coworker this morning by playing a ringtone that only he can hear. He sits in the cube behind me and so we usually banter back and forth all day. So now I have a new weapon; I play this ringtone to annoy him and I can’t hear a thing. Old age has its bonuses.
Can you hear it? If so then how old are you?

Wow! I hear that sucker loud and clear… and ANNOYING!!!
Now, I’m 32 and I’m in several rock bands…. so really I should have no business hearing this thing. I guess I’m a freak of a sort.
There’s this one motion detector in a room I used to work in that would occassionally emit a piercing high-pitch tone that would drive me bonkers. Fortunately it could be silenced (temporarily) with some mechanical agitation to the detector. Only about 3 of the fifty people in the room could hear it.

I can’t hear a thing (oh, I’m 26 by the way). I even tried the sound on both of my computers and nothing! I guess that’s a good thing.

i tried it a couple days ago and couldn’t hear it. i tried it again today and could. i haven’t gotten younger. i think it plays randomly for some people, but doesn’t play other times. i don’t think it has to do with age.

I’m 16, and can hear that obnoxious thing loud and clear, but my dad (he’s 50…shh….) can’t hear anything.

I am 11 years old and I heard it for the first 60 times
but then after I took a shower I couldn’t hear it! I checked the volume and it was on full!! I don’t think it has to do with age.
I think my cat can here it though. As soon as I played it my cat’s
ears imeditly shot back, and his eyes were as big as golf balls.
It may just be a cowincidence but it seemed to anoy him.
