Ultra-high-pitched ringtone shows kids are smarter than we think they are
From the New York Times:In that old battle of the wills between young people and their keepers, the young have found a new weapon that could change the balance of power on the cellphone front: a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.
The article can be found here. The ring tone was derived from an annoying high-frequency noise generator (from a company called Compound Security) that merchants can use to keep kids from loitering in front of their stores. Apparently adults, as they age, lose the ability to hear sounds this high (17Khz).
I listened to the sample, and could not hear a sound.
