Adult Proof Ring Tones?

It's true. Many students across the world are downloading and using a new ring tone that is so high - pitched that most adults can't hear it. Apparently I can't even hear it. I tried. It's pretty weird to think that there is something out there that only a portion of us can hear. The article I read about this new technology said that as people age they lose the ability to hear certain frequencies.

I think that this will just bring problems, as students are using it to hide the cell phone calls and text messages in classrooms. If you're interested at all check out this news story

A New Ringtone Teachers Can't Hear


It's pretty amazing to me.

Interesting! I went to the website and listened to a clip. It was certainly different. I could hear it, but could understand how teachers couldn't.
