Mosquito Ringtone

Quote:

The cell phone ring tone that she heard was the offshoot of an invention called the Mosquito, developed last year by a Welsh security company to annoy teenagers and gratify adults, not the other way around.

It was marketed as an ultrasonic teenager repellent, an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer designed to help shopkeepers disperse young people loitering in front of their stores while leaving adults unaffected.

I wonder if the Kroger stores in Flint use this technology. I can never go there for much longer than it takes to buy a few items because of the nauseatingly painful effects it has on me. Interestingly enough, none of my other friends who go there can hear it, and they are about the same age as me (20).
The tone seems to be the same or similar pitch too.

Most amazing jew boots

You can hear vibrations.
The high pitch tones are merely a way for people to avoid having to turn off their phones. There are a lot of obsessive-compulsive people who hate it if they don't know that they missed a call or text message.

In other words, it doesn't accomplish jack squat, except feed the teenage compulsion to defy the rules merely for the purpose of defying the rules.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
