Can you hear this sound?
Apparently it's used to repel teenagers from shopping malls etc. It's a very annoying high frequency sound that drives them away, but doesn't affect older shoppers. That's bullshit - I can hear it and I'm 37. It's a bloody horrible, invasive high-pitched whistle that actually hurt my left ear and made me feel a bit dizzy. I had to turn it off after a few seconds. See if you can hear it.
I could hear it.
Maybe it doesn't really work properly over the internet...
Yep, I can hear it. Annoying, but not intolerable.
We thought this was all rubbish, until my mum played it unwittingly at a random juncture by accident, and couldn't hear it so didn't realise. Andy and I walked into the room and instantly asked why she was playing a high-pitched noise. Not a repellent really though!
It totally sounds made up though!
I could hear it too. What do I win?
The Real Teenager Repellent
I'm 38 and yes, I can hear it.
I'm also 37 and I heard it straight away. It was a horrible, almost painful noise. I had to remove my headphones and could not listen to that small clip in its entirety.
Does this mean I'm actually under 25? Yeah!!
Def.
Ow, my ear!
Bloody hurt that did! Probably cause I'm mentally 8.
I heard it but I'm only 28.
You'd think it was the teenagers who wouldn't be able to hear because of the bombing base being pumped into their eardrums from their iPods...hmmm.... perhaps I am old.
I'm 24 and it was painful to me but I am under 25 so I guess that would be the outcome they wanted but I would really be annoyed if a shop had that outside. Why do I have to have ear ache when I do my shopping just cause of a few bad teenagers?
Didn't hurt my ear but I could definitely hear the annoyin high pitched noise.
I could hear it too, it's obviously bollocks.
