Teens also have used this frequency as a ringtone in class as most teachers couldn't hear it.
- kevinmchugh 9y agoThe cell phone ringtone didn't make sense to me when people started using it. Sure, the teachers can't hear it, but they can see an entire class wince simultaneously. Plus, there's a lot of teachers in their 20s who can hear it just fine.
- JosephRedfern 9y agoThe whole class may have winced, but I guess it'd be harder for the teacher to pinpoint where the sound came from.
- WalterSear 9y agoThere's no reason to wince - it's just a sound. The wincing is caused by the volume.
- kevinmchugh 9y agoPerhaps it was a flinch? I find the tones on this site I found[0] highly unpleasant to listen to at any volume. The ringtones I was hearing were no louder than any other, but I know I recoiled on hearing them. [0] https://www.ultrasonic-ringtones.com/ https://www.ultrasonic-ringtones.com/. Unsurprisingly, I can't hear above 17k anymore. I'm not terribly upset.

- wolfgang42 9y agoIn my high school, very strong peer pressure was applied to anyone who tried this as it was generally considered excessively annoying. For my part, I used a Morse code ringtone that happened to sound similar to the howling noise the radiators made, which everyone had learned to simply tune out.
