i think that is is cool that some smart and resourceful kid used science to help her(or him). Most teachers think this is annoying but it is very interesting. It should not be hailed as completely stupid. If adults are mad, think about the “teen mosquito buzzer” if anyone should be annoyed- it’s the teens being forced to listen to these VERY ANNOYING sounds that are painful whenever they go to a shop!

Sabrina you are obviously immature I am fourteen and a freshmen and I want a good education you’ll be the one working for me when your older have fun with that.
Don’t go to school if you have nothing better to do than annoy other kids I am actually a pretty cool kid and I still pay attention, too be “cool” you don’t have to be dumb.
Peace.

I love the mosquito ringtone. Kids, like myself, already have their phones on them in class anyways, I just kept it on silent and checked it ever minute or so to see my text messages, so just because I can hear when I get one now isn’t any more distracting, teenagers will be on their phones with or without this ringtone. It just makes it more convenient. =]

I disagree….hypothetically with you all because of course it is interupting classes and learning, but they ARE kids…what’ll they come up with next? The next thing you know it’ll be their favourite thing to do. Here in Canada it is probably worse than in the USA

you can broadcast a constant ringtone frequency they are most likely using @180 deg out of phase to cancel it. or just bombard them with the frequencies they are using at high amplitudes and laugh at their feable ears…

as a teacher i am finding the mosquito ringtone an increasingly disruptive influence on classroom behaviour, i was hoping if there was anything that could combat this problem?

Alot of students are getting in trouble with this “ringtone.” It is a disruption of the learning environment, and the person responsible for drawing more attention to this should be ashamed. It’s bad enough that some students don’t want to be in school in the first place, but now the students who do enjoy learning have to be subjected to this type of disruption without saying anything in fear of being called a SNITCH! What is the world coming to? What are we teaching our students/children, how to ‘attempt’ to outsmart adults? Oh that’s really going to give them an advantage in the real world.
