Some of these frequencies will not even play on certain sets of speakers and headphones. You really seem to know alot about audio. Got any good ways to fix tags on MP3 files automatically :) Pretty please...

I played these tones on my blackberry through the built-in speaker, on my blackberry through Sennheiser HD 280 Pro DJ headphones, on my work computer through Sennheiser PMX 60 headphones, and on my home computer through high-end Senheiser speakers. I also played them on my Toyota Camry XLS car stereo with the engine off in my gar-age-which is the closest I could come to a soundproof chamber. On the blackberry through the built-in speaker for me the sound dropped off after 12kHz. On my blackberry through the HD 280 headphones, on my home computer and on my car stereo I heard every tone. On my work computer through I heard them up through 14kHZ and then I heard them again starting at 20kHz. Just thought you'd like to know there's more to this than immediately comes to mind.

It is supposed to keep mosquitos away. http://mosquito.en.softonic.com/palm They don't say anything about teenagers, but I guess you could use it against that kind of pest too. :-) I'm not sure how well it works, I never really carried out any scientific and conclusive study. But it probably won't hurt, so yes, I would like to have that application in my Blackberry, especially since I don't carry my Palm on trips anymore.

But the idea of cheating on tests had never occurred to me. I mean: you're evil. I already knew of tones and frequencies that can’t be heard by most geezers.

To test out the theory, I got my wife (mid 30s), myself (low 40s) and my two boys (5 and 3) in the room and placed them in front of my laptop so they could not see when I pressed the button. To my amazement, my wife and I could not hear the 'younger' generation tones but my boys heard all of them. I guess it's old age and time for a hearing exam! I never knew ringtones like this existed.
