New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by ddunk on 06-12-2006 at 06:48 PM
A Ring Tone Meant to Fall on Deaf Ears
mp3 download
I tried it out, it's set as my current ringtone. I can hear it fine, but my mom can't hear it but can feel it in her sinuses. Both traxor and ajd reported getting headaches while listening to it.

I read about this, and I would have assumed it was a higher pitch though.

RE: New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by Steven on 06-12-2006 at 07:45 PM
It annoys me. I would not want to have a ringtone like that, and my mom cannot hear it. Are there any proven facts that it can damage your hearing at all?
RE: New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by Voldemort on 06-12-2006 at 07:53 PM

I got on my phone allready
RE: New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by Steven on 06-12-2006 at 08:06 PM
I have a question, how do you set it to your ring tone? Everyone or i mean noone knows how, so what do you do to put it on your cell?
RE: New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by ins4ne on 06-12-2006 at 08:06 PM
annoying... how can people use such a crap as ringtone??? i prefer nokia standards like trance
RE: New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by YourNeibour on 06-12-2006 at 08:09 PM
are your parents deff that they can't hear it?
RE: New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by Mike on 06-12-2006 at 08:10 PM
I can hear it fine
Have you heard the longer version?
It starts from the same pitch, but then it begins to lower, so you should be able to hear it fine.
Here it is: http://mike.thedt.net/temp/piep.mp3

HEARING.EXE tests your hearing for higher frequencies from 18000 Hz down to 40 Hz (hope you can hear something before you get to 40 Hz). A program that is fun for everyone, and can be helpful to know when you are not hearing so well due to clogged ears, age (unfortunately), or some other reason (like damage from music). Program requires only the pc's speaker.

Umm, is it supposed to be a melody or something? I only hear this one high-pitch tone and I get a major headache from it.
RE: New ringtone that parents supposedly can't hear. by Voldemort on 06-12-2006 at 09:15 PM
Nope, just a 17 hz tone that most adults cant hear.

(even not all young people can hear those high pitched beeps)....If you can't hear it, stop listening to loud music (with or without headphones!) and don't visit that discotheque that frequently anymore, or don't stand in front of the loudspeaker on a party. (as you do damage your ears permanantly with all of those, wheiter you notice it or not!!)

That would only degrade the lower part of the spectrum evenly, not the ends of the spectrum. The only thing that can cause the either end of the spectrum to get weaker would be age.

There aren't typically too many 15khz+ frequencies in loud music, so that part of the cochlea isn't even stimulated. Only the frequencies that you would play loudly in music get stimulated and worn out.

Apparently (according to an old teacher), they play old music outside Westfield, to annoy younger people. I've never seen/heard it.

I could hear this for a few seconds after I stopped playing it and got a bit of a headache It's an interesting read and goes further to prove all technology can be used and abused.

Its funny, because the part you made small in that second quote completely turns it around. 15khz+ is the end of the spectrum that people can hear. Loud music doesn't hit 15khz+ or 2khz-. So, those frequencies aren't worn out by it.

PS: Oh and a healthy human can hear up to 20kHz or even more, not 15kHz...
And music sure does "hit" 2000Hz or below. Hell, even speech is ranged between 500 and 5000Hz.

Yes, but the frequencies don't usually extend into that range, nor are they very loud in that range when they do. That'd be some pretty fucked up trance techno or something.

But it has everything todo with the receptors in our ears getting damaged (by too long exposure to too loud sound or by age, etc...). If the receptors don't get anything you can have all the same or all the alternative "brain wave patterns" in the world, you wont hear a thing.
The receptors in our ears are like microphones (in fact they work almost exactly the same too). If those get damaged you can have the worlds most advanced sound system, no signal will be recieved by your amplifier.

OMG! I downloaded it, tried playing it on my system. My cat ran across the room and the dogs next door started barking. Is it really the sound effect?

Well, I've listened to it and heard a long 'beep'. Not very loud, but noticable. It's not so high that a human can't hear it, but high enough that older people whose ears are already older, just don't hear it.

I used it on my psp, my sisters could hear it, my 27 year old friend could hear it, but my mum couldnt.
The PIEP one doesn't, she told me to FUCK OFF in no uncertain terms

Fark. Don't listen to it when you're hungover.
