teen buzz

The mosquito ringtone, which is a ringtone geared toward especially high frequencies that only young people can hear is really catching on in schools, clubs, or other places where children and teens want to use cell phones surreptitiously. This type of ringtone is also called the “adult proof ringtone” and with good reason.

The range of human hearing starts to fade for most of us around age 20, while teens retain the ability to hear the highest pitch of sound in the normal human range. What this means is that most teens can hear sounds that 90% of adults simply can’t hear at all. Even if adults can perceive the sound, it generally registers as a slight pressure in the head, or as a soft popping noise. Turning this sound into a ringtone means that children and teens can hear phone calls and incoming text messages, without a teacher or parent being aware.

“So what not just put the phone on vibrate?” Some ask, after learning about mosquito ringtones. After all, it seems sort of complicated to assign a non-audible ringtone, when a vibrate function would be just as good. Teens know the answer to this. When vibrate is turned onto a phone, it’s still audible – especially if it has something to vibrate against, like a desk or a book. The beauty of the mosquito ringtone is that it doesn’t vibrate, and can’t be heard at all by anyone who is significantly older.

Still there’s a lot of skepticism about how well these ringtones really work. If a kid can hear it, what about a parent with exceptional hearing?

The truth is that up to 90% of adults can’t hear sounds between 18-20 khz, while up to 70% of those younger than the age of 17 can. This means that there are very good odds of ensuring that a mosquito ringtone audible to a teen won’t be heard by an adult. Of course, there will always be some rare exceptions, but there’s a good chance that someone using a mosquito ringtone will be able to use it in secret.

The beauty of a ringtone that adults can hear is also that they are not expecting it. When adults can hear a high pitched frequency, they often assume it’s due to fluorescent lighting, or to an old TV or computer monitor. These kinds of monitors did once emit high pitched noises, before largely being phased out in favor of flat panel LCDs. This means that even if an adult can hear a mosquito ringtone, they will have a very hard time determining its origin, or knowing that it’s coming from a cellular phone. This gives children and teens a huge advantage.

So do mosquito ringtones work? They absolutely do. Still, it’s a good idea to test out a range of pitches and frequencies to ensure that the tones you can hear are really inaudible to the older people around you.

Ringtones only teens can hear?

There is some good news for everyone looking for a way to receive calls and text messages without the telltale ring of your phone or the annoyance of the vibrator function. The answer is Mosquito Ringtones.

In a weird, but unfortunate, twist of fate, the older we get, the more our hearing declines. As we age, we are unable to hear certain frequencies. The older we get, the more of these frequencies don’t register with our hearing. Somebody much smarter than I, figured out how to put this information to good use and developed the concept of Mosquito Ringtones.

In simple terms, it is possible to download a variety of ringtones that are inaudible to parents, teachers or partners. These ringtones are developed by ‘age range.’ In other words, it is possible to download a ringtone that anyone over the age of 60 will be unable to hear. Other age categories include 50, 40 and 30. As you can imagine, this really opens up the world of texting!

It is a great idea to test these ringtones out before putting them to use. While it is true that as ‘a rule’ the ringtones cannot be heard by the specified age groups, there is always an exception to the rule. In some cases, the tones may still be audible. Luckily, if one tone is still audible, it is likely that the next higher tone will not be. Keep trying and you will find one that works.

These new ringtones are already a hit with teenagers. Typically bound by ‘no phone’ rules in school, and often afraid that even the ‘vibrating’ function of their phone will be heard many teenagers have been searching for a way to still text in school without getting caught. Until technology is developed allowing teachers to someone discern these inaudible tones, teenagers are now free to send and receive text at will.

Mosquito Ringtones

To make matters even better, there are several sites that offer these ringtones for free. Easy to install and even easier to use, free mosquito ringtones are quickly becoming more popular than even the latest ‘hot’ song.

Parents and teachers do have one line of defense. Instead of relying on their ears, they must learn to rely on their eyes – an ironic twist. Once again, teenagers seem to have the upper hand. Their ability to text at lightening fast speeds and often to carry on conversations at the same time means there is little chance they will be caught.

While Mosquito Ringtones have becoming an almost overnight sensation among teenagers or employees looking for a way to keep their texting ability alive, others are not so happy about them! Teachers, parents and managers may soon come to rue the day they were invented.

Free Mosquito Ringtones are a great way to keep texting during school, work or any other time cell phone use is frowned upon. Download one today and keep texting away.

What do you think of the audio test?

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.

Now, while the Teen Repeller may have proved helpful to shopkeepers looking for a less crowded storefront, it certainly did not help bridge any gaps between the youth and older generations. This “pest repellent” tended to make teenagers feel like insignificant, contemptible mosquitoes! (as the name so kindly puts it.) After all, teenagers make up a great percentage of the consumer market; it only seems logical that they should be treated with the same kind of respect and courtesy as anyone else. It is no wonder then that teens developed a way to use this very weapon for their own devices. It is not certain who first found a way to use this noise on cell phones, but teenagers definitely ran with the idea, sending text messages to one another and receiving calls in class unbeknownst to their teachers. Whether this usage can be called a rebellion, or a cruel manipulation, I think it’s appropriate to say what goes around comes around!

Like most teenagers, he likes to listen to loud music in his room, especially when doing his homework and when doing so cannot hear when his phone is ringing if he is using a normal cell phone ringtone. If he uses a mosquito ringtone it seems to cut through the music and can clearly hear his phone ringing. At first I was skeptical of this but after testing it out with some of the lower frequency tones that I am still able to hear I was able to confirm this.

So next time you want to turn up the volume in your room or when you’re driving and you still want to hear your cell phone ringing, switch your ringtone to the teen buzz ultrasonic mosquito ringtone. If anyone out there can explain the science behind why this is possible or point me in the right direction, please let me know!
