Apparently this sound only teenagers can hear,according to NPR's all things considered.

 

I can hear it but just barely (If the room is quiet)

 

Anyone know what freq this tone is?

That's quite annoying to be fair. But i'm not a teenager, no fair!

Proof, if proof were needed, that I am an old duffer - couldn't hear a thing

Ive just tried listening to this with both my kids behind me, they are 14 and 11, they heard something but not me

I must have young ears - I get a high pitched tone and an underlying lower-pitched hum (I can only hear the hum if I crank the volume way up though).

 

Wouldn't one of those tones that make people vomit and lose control of their bowels be more effective though?

Crump! I can hear it and I is 40! Does that mean I can go chirps some buff teenage gals now?!?

i'm 24 & i can hear it. its an awful sound tho, i had to turn if off.

I hear that loud and clear. Who can hear the tone linked to at the end of this article? I can - just. Sounds like a very high-pitched pulse.

I can hear the first one really clearly (made me wince) and the one Hecate's linked to just about - it wouldn't be enough to annoy me.

 

Teenagers. Ha. I wish.

[JenC 10]

Yes, I can hear them both (the one in the OP and Hecate's) - the first one is ear piercing, I had to turn it off.

I cant hear the first one but can hear the second one:o
