Did you know that based on the average age of people being able to hear the Mosquito Ringtone most of the U.S. presidents would not be able to hear them?

As a result of the condition known as presbycusis, most adults over the age of 24 lose the ability to hear high frequency sounds like the mosquito ringtone. There are no exact numbers but based on polls conducted on our site, we estimate that at least 90% of adults cannot hear the ringtone that high schoolers and college students are using in class to receive cell phone calls and text messages. Seeing as all the presidents are over the age of 24, in fact US law dictates that the president must be at least 35 years old, statistical averages say that only 4 of the 43 Presidents of the United States could have heard the ringtone if they were alive to be tested. As for the 44th president, whether it is Barack Obama or John McCain who wins the election tomorrow, there is only a 1 in 10 chance that either of them would be able to hear the mosquito ringtone if they wanted to, and a 1 in 100 chance that both of them would be able to hear it!

For those that can hear the ringtone, you are able to do something that most Presidents of the United States cannot do and will never be able to do!

We recently added the ability to download and use the Mosquito Ringtone in 23 different languages. By using the Google Translation engine, we will be able to rollout other languages as soon as Google adds them as an option. While the mosquito ringtone was conceptualized in Wales, it quickly spread around the world. It has become a worldwide phenomenon due to the fact that there is no language, no deciphering, just tones! While it may be multi-national in use, it seems to be most popular here in the United States.

The translations will be completed as quickly as time allows, due to certain technical restraints, we can only translate pages every few minutes through the translation engine. All pages in all languages should be completely translated in a matter of days. Enjoy the teen buzz ringtone no matter what country you are from!

We decided not to include the very upper end range of the ultrasonic frequencies in our hearing test, if you want to check your hearing on tones above 18khz, please see the full list of Teen Buzz, the Ultrasonic Mosquito Ringtones.

The Children’s Commissioner launched the buzz off campaign and with the help of The Liberty group won a small victory last week by getting the Kent County Council to ban the mosquito devices from buildings in its jurisdiction. They started the Buzz Off campaign in February 2008. They soon hope to get a similar law passed by the government and prevent the use of the Mosquito in everywhere in England.

According to this BBC Article, 3500 mosquito devices are in use throughout England.

This really doesn’t affect the use of teen buzz, the mosquito ringtone but, it’s interesting to see that even many adults are appalled by the use of such a device even when they can’t hear it.

I could certainly go on and debate the issues involved with the device but this site is about the teen buzz ringtone a.k.a. the mosquito ringtone.
