Are You Young or Old? Try This.

This is really interesting. A ringtone that only young people can hear. Click here and if you can hear a very high pitched ringtone....you are young. If not, sorry I ruined your day.

Thus far, 3 people in the lab, 2 of them undergrads and one technician can hear it. Three old people cannot.

I don't know any old people near by . . . will have to send my mom to your site & ask her to check it out.

I heard a lowish annoying buzz. I did it twice just to make sure. And I'm 63 yrs. old.

Well apparently my mom & Eric are one of these things:

a) young

b) have exceptional hearing abilities (probably from being such great parents, all these years)

c) or just plain lying - LOL

Does there seem to be any relation to sex (females hear better than men or vice versa?)

Who all can't hear it?

Sara,

Ringtone update… unfortunately we have a rather small sample size from this office but here you go:

Me (28) Positive
Tom (~40) Negative
Blake (~25) Negative

Positive = heard, Negative = not heard

The results are hardly conclusive!

Cheers,

Dave

I could hear...something. If I paused it, it stopped - but it was faint so I won't rule out electronic noise from the speakers. As anyone who's tried to hold a conversation with me in a crowded room knows, I don't have the greatest of hearing.
