Whenever me and my brothers got too rowdy in the house or my mom wanted us to clear out for awhile (we were all pretty close in age) she would just throw on some Mozart or Beethoven fairly loudly---Opera works well too or Yodeling

I think I saw a news story once about a suburban train station in the UK where they actually used piped classical music to stop teenagers congregating on the platform

I have had a headache and a need to keep touching my ears for the last 2 hours just from listening to the Cnn mp3 file. I cant believe somebody would willfully wish this on anybody else.

P.s: Besides a hangover this is the first headache I have had in nearly 4 years.

I can't say it bothered me greatly. My mum can sort of hear it though.

I recall in my school the intercom was emitting a high pitch noise for about a week, and the teachers wouldn't believe us. That was great, I thought school was torture without adding actual torture.

The teenbuzz one is bollix, its sounds just like an old printer printing, am sure anyone can hear that.

The cnn one is better, jaysus me head listening to that squeel!!

I'm 35 by the way so not sure either of the sound samples are valid- more likely the crappy speakers used to play them are not reproducing the higher frequencies accuratly (i'm listening on my Sennheise HD580's so the sound IS accurately reproduced).

I reckon someone making a fast buck here.

I downloaded it from the CNN news-story, here. I listened to it and bloody hell I could hear it. It hurt a bit and that wasn't even on loud. Even when it wasn't exactly audible there was a feeling of hearing something high pitched, but underwater, as though I could feel the sound. Even 10 minutes later it was still messing with me. I listened to it again a moment ago and it's still very annoying. Ah! Goddamit! It's still at me!



I listended to that one. It's completely different to the CNN one. I can hear it perfectly but it doesn't hurt and isn't annoying either.

Thats the same sound I get off the old TV, my dell charger and my netopia modem.

Btw the dog loved that link

yea there is a sound dont listen too long it would make your ears bleed, mine are hurtin now

There was a sound :eek: I couldn't hear anything And I am 18.

I can hear teh 10second link perfectly, but the "teen" one thats 4 seconds long I cant hear anything.

I wonder what child welfare people will say, it will have babies and younger children screaming.

could here the cnn one but not the 1st one. I can also hear the rodent repelant emitter that we had plugged in one of the rooms in the house during the spring. That hurt my ears and made me want to leave the room. Also find i have to keep gnawing at pipes and walls to stop my teeth from getting too long.....

surely this device must drive dogs mad.

MY GOD those are awful. It feels like my eardrums are still vibrating and yes I have a mild headache, I happened to have the surround sound turned up on the PC from listening to music which wasn't pleasent. My printer makes the same noise as the teen one from cnn when its sitting idle, I have to unplug it after every use. Clearly it was designed by 40 years olds who couldn't hear it. The neighbour down the road used to have something like that for getting rid of cats and dogs out of her garden, it used to bug the hell out of me walking by her house, although it did fade over time and now I can't hear it anymore and i'm pretty sure she still uses it. Although I can still hear these 2 noises. I don't think there is a defined cutoff age for hearing these things, about the time that you start putting a bugle in your ear to hear people is probably when you stop hearing them

CNN one I could hear fine and made me feel a bit disorientated, my dog didn't react though. Teenbuzz I couldnt hear it.
