High-pitched ringtone


Students are using a new ring tone to receive messages in class, and many teachers can't even hear the ring. Some students are downloading a ring tone off the Internet that is too high-pitched to be heard by most adults. As people age, many develop what's known as aging ear, or a loss of the ability to hear higher-frequency sounds. A Welsh security company developed the tone to help shopkeepers disperse young people loitering in front of their stores while leaving adults unaffected.  The company called their product the "Mosquito."
