Covert sneaky kid ringtones you can't hear
For those old folks out there with school age kids, especially for those who have subjected themselves to things that make loud sound  ...enjoy lighting up your house with what you cannot hear.

Sorry folks, meant to post in the general discussion area.

I can hear down past the 17 KHZ, so I guess the kids need to realize that not all us old people are deaf!!

The 14.1khz tone matches my tinnitus dead on. My wife was finally able to hear what I hear all the time.

So riddle me this...
Once said ringtone that adults above age X is heard by the "sneaky" kid, I have two additional questions...
1. How small is the phone that the adult can't see? (if texting)
2. What sort of training does the kid need in order to speak at the same frequency for the adult not to hear that?

I think these would be useful for a VERY loud alarm clock.

My kid tried it and I can hear them. She thought she was being smart since I banned cells during certain times

I could hear all of them except 17.7 and 22.4 - I'm guessing that means I've got some sort of "loss" in those bandwidths? I've always thought my hearing was hyper-sensitive too. I'm sort of feeling sorry for myself right now.

Warning this just in... Anyone over 40 should be advised to not play the old folk frequency ranges while under the influence of "ED" medications as the effect seems to be similar to that of a piano tuning fork.

I used to get highly irritated when I settled down for the night and the dogs would finally get settled......then it would start.....the infernal sound of mosquitos buzzing around my ears.........I used to get up and turn the light on to try and smash the bastards....the dogs were looking at the crazy woman running around the room with a rolled up piece of paper wondering why I was smacking the walls (my husband just figured I had finally lost it completely, he never heard the damn things, he is deaf as a doornail). I hate that sound!!!!!

Oh yeah, that's going to work well in the knife shop with heaters, compressor, grinders or variable speed mill running. No problem, never have to answer the phone again.
Are you guys sure there was really sound when clicking the little play buttons there?
I couldn't hear anything on 16, 17, 18 but could get a tone on 17.4.
All others I could get some tone.
