I had my sound turned down but definitely on--and I felt something like an electric shock.I don't know if it's illegal or not, but if people much older  than teens can hear it then it's not working for the reason they thought! oh,btw, I'm 55]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karaina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2009 10:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Are You Young Enough to Hear This High-Pitched Tone?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</guid><description><![CDATA[WHAT A SCAM........

If a place of business were to use this device I would hope that they would have some sort of signs warning people about this awful sound so that nobody thinks something is wrong with their ears. I also think that this sound would run away more than loiterers. I can't see how a continuous squealching in the ears is healthy for even the people who can't hear it. Oh, and what about people who bring their little children with them shopping. Okay, obviously it is flawed; I could keep going on with this.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2009 4:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Are You Young Enough to Hear This High-Pitched Tone?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have heard of another application of this technology. Kids obtaining ringtones at these frequencies so teachers won't hear them ringing in class. Kids can text message to their hearts content until the teacher actually sees someone doing it. They won't hear the noise of the phones.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[p curley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2009 5:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Are You Young Enough to Hear This High-Pitched Tone?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</guid><description><![CDATA[I turn 31 in two days and I heard that just fine. No I didn't have to turn my speakers up (in fact I keep the volume almost off) and no, I didn't hear a low hum as suggested by a previous poster. I heard an incredibly uncomfortable, annoying, very high pitched tone that caused my cats to leave the room & my dog to start growling at my computer. My 68 year old mom was at the house for a visit and she heard it as well. Makes you question the validity doesn't it?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sarah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2009 4:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Are You Young Enough to Hear This High-Pitched Tone?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</guid><description><![CDATA[nearly 43 and I hear it VERY well. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 1st 2009 4:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Are You Young Enough to Hear This High-Pitched Tone?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/28/are-you-young-enough-to-hear-this-high-pitched-tone/</guid><description><![CDATA[That is annoying as HELL!!
