I thought that this was a joke…until I tried it myself. Apparently, the new fad is for kids to get ring tones that sound above the level at which adults can hear. I knew there was such a thing as age-related hearing loss, but I figured I was immune or something. So, I went to the Cingular Extras site and tried it.
I could hear the Bug Tone, Stealth-Covert Opps and Stealth-Maximum Security. Other than that, nada. And, yet, both kids were like “Ow! What the hell was that noise?”

Hey! Come listen to the guitar clip I’ve got up!
i’m happy to report that i can hear all of them but Stealth-Ultra and Stealth-Under Cover, so i’m not too old yet. however, i am a little old, because i would definitely want to smack anyone that had a phone that made that noise.
I heard them all except Stealth-Under Cover. If those sounds are as annoying to kids as they were to me, I can’t imagine them being used very often.
I could hear them all, but man! They annoyed the fricking hell out of me. If someone were dumb enough to use those ringtones around me I think I would have to find them and destroy them! They hurt my head!
I could hear Bug Tone, and Stealth-Covert Opps. Wasn’t so much a sound as a drill in the ear.
Getting old sucks. At least I don’t have to wait to be picked last in gym anymore.
