Mobile Phone Ringtones

Most teenagers with cell phones have by now heard about the high pitch ringtone that most adults cannot hear. Can kids be alerted to incoming cell phone calls and text messages without adults knowing just by using a special high pitch ringtone? The high pitch ringtone, or mosquito ringtone as it is commonly known, is no Internet myth: it exists and it works as advertised.

The high pitch ringtone is actually an offshoot of a device called the Mosquito invented in the UK to ward off teenagers and stop them from loitering in places where their presence was not welcome. Adults were unaffected as shopkeepers unleashed 17 kilohertz sounds that are not only audible to teens, but annoying as well. It proved to be a good way to discourage kids from loitering outside stores.

The principle that drives the Mosquito device as well as the high pitch ringtone is quite simple. As we age, our ability to hear sounds at certain frequencies gradually deteriorates. The condition is known as presbycusis and it affects most adults as they approach middle age and beyond. Over time, the detection of high pitched sounds becomes more difficult and both ears are usually affected.

The same principle that adults are using to rid their storefronts of loitering kids is being used by tech savvy kids to communicate without the knowledge of nearby adults. In classrooms or other places where cell phones are ordered to be kept off, the high pitch ringtone allows kids to be alerted of an incoming call or text message without tipping off an adult.
