This is really interesting. At least it was for me. 😊

The Teenager Audio Test

There is a sample sound on the page. Play it and see if you can hear it. This sound is called The Mosquito . A sound whose frequency makes it audible only to people under 25 (some exceptions). This annoying buzzing sound is used by stores, malls, places to keep teenagers & youth away. Their defense is that it prevents loitering, vandalism, drugs and graffitti.

1) Can you hear it?
2) What is your age? (If you dont want to reveal it give a range or say less than 25 or over 25)?
3) If you have different age groups around you, have them hear it and post the results.
4) Is it fair to use the sound to ward of teenagers?
5) Does it violate any rights? Should it be legal/illegal?

My answers later. 😊

1) Can you hear it? yes
2) What is your age? I am under 20 😉😆😆 now u can guess 😆😆 am not old 😉
3) If you have different age groups around you, have them hear it and post the results. - Nah all are busy
4) Is it fair to use the sound to ward of teenagers? Nope not at all. i can see their POV but its not fair to generalise to all youths/Teens - not all are bad. The minority/extreme give bad name to rest of us.....but who uses it, will read wiki later on it. But stores/malls ? they are common places - ok if its like after certain time at night but still
5) Does it violate any rights? Should it be legal/illegal? Yes it does violate basic rights - dicrimination based on being young 😆 I think its ok to be legal if there are rules like where - i mean stores and malls? come on common places? Its like beign banned from shopping without doing any wrong - but fair enough to prevent vandalism/drugs/graffiti but depends on location. I heard this annoying sound before but don't know where.

Overall UK has not banned them but they do infringe human rights but if they are like put on at midnight - fine but in day time - thats a NO NO - Sorry why generalise? Not all under 25's are bad - - are they - majorit of us are not....😳 but what about babies - ? If adults over 25 can't hear it - kids will be exposed to it and harms them? 😳

Thanks for posting, this was a major discovery when it was first done, people were going crazy over it.

1) Can you hear it? Yup.
2) What is your age? (If you dont want to reveal it give a range or say less than 25 or over 25)? Under 25.
3) If you have different age groups around you, have them hear it and post the results. Younger siblings can also hear it from what I remember.
4) Is it fair to use the sound to ward of teenagers? Nope, teenagers are humans as well, are they not? Why generalize the whole group to punish those who do indulge in negative behavior.
5) Does it violate any rights? Should it be legal/illegal? Violate rights? Nah. A store could very well play extremely loud "teenage" music and annoy the adults out, so no, I don't think it violates rights. Plus, teenagers are not stupid, they find ways of using this exact "adult" technology to ward off the adults. This has become a common ring tone among teens these days. Now, when in school, and your cell phone goes off, the teacher is not able to hear it. 😉😆

My answers later. 😊
