Can YOU hear the mosquito ringtone? Apparently this 17000 Hz high-pitched sound was originally created to help shopkeepers disperse young people loitering in front of their stores while leaving adults unaffected. However, not ALL teenagers can hear it, and not ALL adults can't hear it. It's even been known to cause hearing damage if you listen to it for too long. You can listen to it here: http://www.jetcityorange.com/mosquito-r ... ngtone.mp3
So tell us, can YOU hear the mosquito ringtone? :D I did and it almost popped my ears lol @__@

Usually younger people can hear high pitched sounds like that, but then you reach at a certain age where you don't hear those sounds anymore. :)

And to answer this poll's question, yeah I did hear it. I usually hear a lot of high pitch electronic sounds most people don't hear.
