Default Sound only young people can hear.

Apperently there is a sound out there that only young people can hear. I heard it on the radio a few days ago and havn't been able to find it on google.

Does any one know where to get this?

I hear that clearly. I'm 32 and I know from hearing tests that I have had whilst working in the manufacturing industry that I have already lost some hearing.

Its inherent to the way your ears work... the audible range of frequencies deterioates with age.... regardless of working environment etc..

students are using it at schools as their message ring tone because the teachers cant hear it and it is hard to identify where it it is coming from.
pretty smart
