I have teenaged ears

I read about this sound that is played in certain areas to keep teenagers from loitering... it's a high-pitched buzzing sound that apparently only young people can hear, but I can hear it too. That makes me feel good about being old today.

Can you hear it?

I can also tell if a TV is on in a room even if the picture isn't showing (for example, if the cable is turned off) by the sound that it makes but most of the people around me don't know what I'm talking about.

The Amazing Fracturedpope on Nov 04 '09 at 10:42am

Yeah I can hear it. I also know what you're talking about when the tv is on standby, it's perfectly normal. It's good to know that my eyesight may be crap, but at least I can hear everything.

TheInfamousBaka on Nov 04 '09 at 10:44am

I can hear it. Ugh.

marblecargirl on Nov 04 '09 at 10:46am

Ouch, that makes my ears uncomfortable. And my teeth.

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 10:49am

now if only this could be converted into a secret language...

eeeee eeeee eee eeeeeeeee

squintygirl on Nov 04 '09 at 10:51am

I can tell when the TV is on, too. I used to feel special about it, but now I'm not so sure.

Tonteau on Nov 04 '09 at 10:51am

Shit, I could only hear the first one.

tracerbullet on Nov 04 '09 at 10:51am

i can definitely hear it. and i can also hear TVs.

Gar0 on Nov 04 '09 at 10:51am

eeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeee give me all your moneeeeeeeeeey eeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeee

shirtflirt on Nov 04 '09 at 10:52am

i also SEE tvs!

Tonteau on Nov 04 '09 at 10:52am

Like I couldn't even hear the under 50 one. I have old ears! Too much rocking as a youth :(

squintygirl on Nov 04 '09 at 10:52am

Also, lol @ '7 Reasons to Keep your Tyrannosaur Off Crack Cocaine'.

shirtflirt on Nov 04 '09 at 10:54am

i mean, i always thought it was a bad idea for my Tyrannosaur to do a lot of crack cocaine. but if there are 7 actual reasons as to why it's bad, it must really be bad.

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 10:55am

i see dead tvs

haha! -- that would've been a good top five

squintygirl on Nov 04 '09 at 10:55am

Oh, man, now I can't unhear it.

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 10:56am

i didn't do enough rocking as a yoot :-(

if i did, i'd be awesome like mission of burma

phones on Nov 04 '09 at 10:58am

i heard that at a train station a while back i was like "what the hell was that???" the others didnt know what i was talking about?

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 10:59am

(i keep hearing random beeps now too)

Tonteau on Nov 04 '09 at 11:00am

I keep listening to it again, but I can't hear anything other than the first one. I don't wanna go deaf. Maybe I should see someone in a professional capacity about it?

Roostersauce on Nov 04 '09 at 11:00am

I wasn't even really able to hear these even when I was in highschool.

....I go to a lot of concerts.

iDanSimpson on Nov 04 '09 at 11:01am

i only heard the first tone @ 8 khz

Chipmnk on Nov 04 '09 at 11:01am

Oh man, I HATE the TV sound. My parents tend to turn off the cable receiver box thing but leave the TV on. It drives me nuts.

spacesick 2 on Nov 04 '09 at 11:03am

ow that hurt my ears. also yes to the tv thing!

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 11:03am

is it just high-pitched sounds or do you have trouble hearing things in general?

Tess Fondie on Nov 04 '09 at 11:04am

my ears are way too sensitive- I take metal smithing class and i'm the only one who still cringes using the belt sander...

it hurts your teeth cuz its actually moving them...

Tonteau on Nov 04 '09 at 11:06am

Nah, I think I hear ok in general. I played a lot of gigs in my tees/early twenties, maybe that damaged them. I never used protection, how foolish! Use protection, kids. I don't listen to much loud stuff, now, though.

My friend plays in a band professionally and he uses specially moulded earplugs they cost £120, well worth it when I think about it.

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 11:08am

metal-smithing class?!!!

tonteau was a rock star! we have to hold on to these little tidbits when they come up. dom says he's lost some of his hearing too due to the shows he's played.

Tonteau on Nov 04 '09 at 11:09am

I really wasn't.

Tess Fondie on Nov 04 '09 at 11:09am

jewlery/ metal smithing its tons of fun, but hurts the hell outta my ears.

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 11:10am

i'm going to pretend you were anyway

do you work with chains, tess?

DaddyDom on Nov 04 '09 at 11:12am

i hear constant high-pitched sounds. I don't think it's from being "young", though.

so sad

so deaf

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 11:14am

can you hear the sound in the link, dommmm?

DaddyDom on Nov 04 '09 at 11:16am

crapola...yes, i could! it hurts kinda! BEING A TEENAGER HURTS!!!!

DaddyDom on Nov 04 '09 at 11:17am

it reminds me of the sound my ears make when I gig without earplugs.

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 11:21am

radiostaticstar on Nov 04 '09 at 11:28am

i'm shocked i can hear all of those with no problems...

DaddyDom on Nov 04 '09 at 11:29am

that's....an amazing emoticon.

reminds me of the "perfect girlfriend" joke.

What is the upside down U, bb?

DaddyDom on Nov 04 '09 at 11:29am

lol @ upside down U

mike bautista on Nov 04 '09 at 11:33am

When I was younger, I thought being able to tell that a TV was on without seeing it was my super power.

Also, some school kids in Asia developed a ring tone that's set to a frequency only they can hear, but their teacher can't. They were able to cheat off of tests with this.

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 12:23pm

upside-down u is a math symbol called an intersection. it stands for commonalities between sets:

The intersection of two sets A and B is denoted by ∩:
{a, b} ∩ {b, c} = {b}

lemonalle on Nov 04 '09 at 12:23pm

should've known teenagers would use their super hearing for evil!

DaddyDom on Nov 04 '09 at 12:34pm

*is turned on*
