Amazing...I can't hear it. Can you?

Edited to add: The Mosquito ringtone isn't going to fly in any of the public schools in Philly. Students aren't allowed to bring cell phones (or any other electronic gizmos) to school.

I can't hear it. I keep randomly playing the mp3 to see if anyone else at work notices, nothing so far... :uhyeah:

 

[Kacey]

I can hear it if it's loud enough - but then my dog goes a little nuts.

Also, be careful trying to play it in Firefox; my system is set to default to Quicktime, and when I tried to play it, Firefox kept shutting down. I had to open the link in IE, then play it through Rhapsody. I have uploaded the actual mp3 and attached it to this post.

Oddly enough, while I exhibit an audiometric shift from a career of exposure to VERY loud noise-i.e., I'm going deaf-I can hear it quite clearly, and I'm 46 years old......

I definately need to get this on my Treo.

SwordLady.....i was surprised to hear that some schools allow cellphones.

A Lot of schools don't sllow cell phones but they students still have them cause if you don't have to walk through a medical detector to get into school, there is no one there to stop you from bringing one in. My high school used to ban cell phones and pagers but as long as you had it in your bag and weren't blatent about their use, no one got in trouble for it...

I am only 25 and I don't think I could hear it....guess I am old before my time...

I'm 34 and I find that ringtone to be very annoying.

I can hear it, but probably wouldn't notice it. To me, it sounds like the whine of a computer monitor that's on it's last leg (which is pretty common). Of course, it if went on for more than 10 seconds or so, I'd be looking for whatever device was putting out that sound, since it's also extremely irritating to me.

Yaaaaah! That's really, really, really annoying.

 

[Zoran]

I can also hear it (I'm 41). Very annoying.

 

[Jade Tigress]

Uh....I can't hear it. Weird. Right now our dog is asleep in my daughters room...when she kicks him out later I'm gonna play it again and see what he does.

 

[7starmantis]

Oh my god, yes very annoying! I'm 29 (in october) and I heard it loud and clear....and hated it. If I start hearing phones go off with that ring tone I'm going to go crazy and start smashing peopales phones!

How did the dog react?

I will say that I think everyone turned up their speakers to hear it. Now with cellphones most of us wont have the ringer on full blast. I know mine stays a a pretty low volume. If I had the ringtone at the volume my finger is at now I am sure not too many people would hear it.

Just think, right now young people all across the country are being annoyed by this ringtone as MT members check it out... :lol:

I cranked my speakers down to the lowest setting. Still sounds the same.
