Is there any way to get a machine to make this noise, LOUDLY, to counter-attach the obnoxious sounds from some car “boom Boxes”? They are played with no consideration for others. I’d like to deafen these dummies.

I disagree with all the young kids. Im 19 and in college and that ringtone was popular while I was in highschool, and I hated it. Several times during class it would go off in different directions and you cant concentrate on anything. So yea I call what was being said immature and you wont understand till your all older. Maybe you all should get a job then you’ll know what its like working for min wage and youll pay more attention in class and not be on that phone addiction all the time. Life is so much more then that.

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
