We have heard of ultrasonic insect repellers which emit ultrasonic frequencies to repel the pests. From a Welsh inventor comes the Mosquito which uses the same technique to repel teens. The Mosquito emits an ultrasonic sound which can be heard by most kids and teenagers only while remaining unaudible to adults over 30 due to deterioration of hearing ability with the age. It has a effective range of 15 - 20 meters and for all you PETA activists out there it does not bother dogs. The Mosquito has been installed at various location across the UK and has been successful in driving away rowdy yobs.

Remember the teenager repellent called Mosquito I wrote about a few days ago, the ultrasonic device that emits a sound only audible to teenagers? Shopkeepers in England have been installing them in order to prevent anti social youths from hanging out in front of their stores.

Well now techno-savvy pupils have recorded the ultra-high sound - audible only to under-20s- onto their cell phones, and are now receiving calls and text messages in class - without teachers having the faintest idea of what is going on.

The kids call it Teen Buzz, and it's spreading it from phone to phone via text messages and Bluetooth.


Pretty cool, I can hear it, but of course I'm 20. I was bugging the hell out of my roommate with it too. Post if you can hear it and how old are ya!

[Anyway]

MY EARS ARE BLEEDING

[Tyche]

Im 22, i hear it fine. I find it VERY hard to believe that someone over 30 cannot hear that loud ass shit. For the first time ever im saying this...suck's i dont live with my parents to test it.

[Rocl]

Everyone in my house heard it fine >_> Turned it up real loud thinking no one would hear it but yeah, even my 56 year old dad heard it, lol.

[Shaede]

OUCH that was painful! >o<

I'm 24... but I have abnormally good hearing, too. I can't imagine anyone NOT hearing it...

[Vade]

I'm hoping it'll be a nice alarm clock for my kids

[untouchable]

im 17 and i cant hear shit

how do i know if the thing is actually playing?

[Nizuka]

17, can hear it..kinda got a little headache after it -.-

[ChooChooTrain]

16, yep. Loud and clear ' -')b

[Dezzimal]

at first I couldn't hear it, but then I realized what I was listning for and my eyes started to water because it felt like it was ringing inside of my head.

[geno]

this sounds awesome, i keep playing it over and over for unknown reasons!

[Vandole]

this kind of fails.. my 50 year old mother can hear it and i hear it and it doesnt bother me at all.

[Krandor]

Couldn't hear it in a few parts as the frequency changed, since it overlapped with my tinnitus in one or two spots I think, other than that heard most of it fine.

22 year old Male btw

[Heian]

20 Male and I heard it. Gave me a headache, also certain TVs/Monitors/ect.. can give me headaches because of the refresh rate. As in I can hear the background noise of the refresh when left on with no input.

Me too, that's probably where they got the sound from.

[Nirokun!]

20, i can hear it just fine lol

[Vade]

Maybe the recording got screwed up somehow? I dunno. It could have changed the frequencies...I don't have any equip to test it.

[Krylanna]

23, heard it fine. It was pretty painful, but I don't think it was worse than nails on a chalkboard like Shaede said last night. It seemed pretty low in pitch for old folks not to hear it. They play much, much higher tones on hearing tests.

[Not Kuno]

Can hear it loud and clear.

[Russta]

21 and I heard it. Made me feel uncomfortable
