Anti-Teen Sound

[krel]

So maybe I'm the last person on earth to hear about this, but the BLOGOSPHERE has informed me that there exists something called an Anti-Teen Sound. Someone designed a particular sound at a particular frequency that is painful for people under 25 or so, but completely harmless to people older than that.

An article about this sound, and how it's

It burns my ears, and I'm 22.

I'm 26, have a good pair of headphones, and I have a good ear for various parts of the sound spectrum, and I don't hear the sound. I thought of another practical use for it: my WoW guild is people aged 25+, but we have no real way of verifying that, of course. I say we get someone to play the sound continuously over Ventrilo, and the people who complain get booted.

Also, hi Katie! It's been a while.

I'm 28 and it gave me the heebie jeebies.

That was interesting. It didn't irritate me per se, but my head seemed to throb/pulse with the "beat" of the sound. 22, to note.
