Drive Folks of All Ages Away With High-Pitch-Emitting 'Mosquito' Device

Until now, the high-frequency box has been used primarily to keep young hooligans from bothering shopkeepers by loitering. But now that it can be heard by everyone, the box can be used to keep anyone from entering a store. Why anyone would want that we're not exactly sure, but to each his own, right?
The devices may find their way into parking garages and secluded parts of parks where criminals or the homeless might hang around. Of course, we can see this becoming a favorite tool of pranksters everywhere, and it's only a matter of time before one these drives some poor stressed out person to violence. [From: Techdirt]

I am a 48 year old women who can NOT hear lower tones but am bothered by the high pitched tones, like planes flying way at a distance and I HEAR them and the air against their wings well before the plane comes into sight. Well, I heard THIS annoying noise and it made me nuts.
I wonder if other women, regardless of age, are able to hear the high-pitch as easily as I did. Women seem to hear higher pitches that men don't seem to.
