Some kids at my high school tried that on their phones, but it never worked because all the other kids in the room would cuss them out for basically inflicting the entire room with mosquito-in-ear noises.
I wish I knew. It was in the cafeterias at work, and I would be the only person in a room of a hundred who was standing there plugging my ears and cringing from the pain.
I hear the chirping of shoes on televised basketball games. No one believes it until you meet someone else who can hear it too. Some people can just hear higher pitch sounds.
I don’t know. I thought everyone could too. Until it turned into an argument at like thanksgiving or something. I don’t watch sports but the rest of my family does.
I heard the high pitched sound from two posts up and knew the next half hour was going to be awesome.
Nobody ever believed me when I said I could hear a powered-on CRT from two rooms away
I’m in my 40s and still can hear that frequency just fine. Probably not as loud.
One of my least favorite types of thing are those “teenager repellent” devices.
Also certain induction cooktops.
They put those “teenager repellent” devices in malls. And what do you know, malls are dying.
My favorite use of those was teenagers using that as their ringtone so the teachers couldn’t hear it.

Which induction cooktops?

I love those things lol. I’m your age and can’t hear shit above 13 KHz.

Edit: and yeah, I can hear when a CRT tv is on.
Wait, most people don’t hear that?

The chirping noises from shoes is so annoying. When I watch college basketball it’s with the volume off.
Most people don’t actually pay attention to their senses - I think the brain happily filters it all it out.
I think as I’m getting older, I’m either more aware or it’s getting worse
The whine on larger the TV’s were so damn loud. My neighbor’s had one of those massive beasts of a CRT. I could hear it 100 feet away.
My first migraines where triggered in the computer lab from 40 CRT monitors being on. It was so loud and annoying.
TIL some people couldn’t hear them.
I’ve been telling people for a while that I can hear it too. Nice to know I’m not the only one.
