GAH! Yes.

Actually it's not THAT awful...sounds kinda like my TV when it's on AUX.

I DID have to put it on full volume, though.

EDIT: I just turned 20, too, so I'm not a teen anymore..

I can't hear anything. I played it on Media Player and have the volume all the way up. Are you messing with us old people?

I don't think it's so much a mossie sound as it is an electronics sound. TV's and old-school moniters always sound like that and it drives me nuts. My phone charger does the same thing, too.

I'm not a teen, either, I'm almost 24!

I couldn't hear a thing. Damn, I'm old.

I heard it but only after I turned the volume higher on my computer, then it was horrible. I feel young again... (ok, I'm only 22 but still...)

From the article I gathered there's no set year at which one can hear or not hear the sound. So far, all you sub-25 year olds fit within their range of effectiveness.

It's us late 30s folks that are well past the threshold, I think.

It just sounds like the noise a TV makes when it's on. A little annoying, but nothing too bad.

Mid 30's here...I hear it, and 'feel' it in my ears. Like a sudden change in air pressure, maybe? Not pleasant. Any store that had that playing would immediately lose my business.

You're special... ;-)

Yeah, we know that. :p

I remember that sound as a child, but I can't hear it anymore. I'd go batty hearing the whine coming from my TV. Now I don't hear it.

When I was student teaching last year, I had students play that sound in class. Oblivious, I would teach on, while students would cover their ears.

I am 32. I could hear it with my right ear but not my left.

I am only half old. :P

I heard this too. I think there are sounds that are higher in register than this sound. Some sounds are completely inaudible to those over 20.

Yes, I felt it too. And now, after hearing and feeling it, it has been 5 minutes or so and I feel funny in my ears.

Strange.
I could hear it just fine, and I thought I had bad hearing.

Mid-thirties and didn't hear a thing

Interesting:

See what the highest frequency you can hear is:

It guesses your age based on what frequency you can hear. Mine got my age dead on.

I didn't hear anything but my head felt a strange sort of pulsing. weird.

Cool

I couldn't hear it, but I had the same effect... had a bit of a pulse in my head, only when my computer AND speaker volume were turned up to the max. God help me if I had received an email during those few seconds... the "ping!" sound would have blown me across the room!

Is that what it's supposed to sound like?
