    I heard all four of those very annoying tones! The last one was so disturbing, it interrupted me from enjoying my rawhide bone.

    48 and I could hear it. It was slightly directional, I coud hear it louder with my right ear, head slightly turned.

    It's pretty annoying. I'd have to go find out what the hell it was and make it stop.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Yep I'm older than you and I heard it loud and clear. As Billy (LibertyC) and Phil (Pearsall001) and Antny (amulford) have all said, "Hearing Impaired my ****!"

    I'm a little shocked. My 29 year old wife could not hear any of the tones. She thought I was pulling some kind of joke. She said, "There isn't any sound there!" I was like, "your kidding, you can't hear that?"
    Too many hours in the front rows of concerts for her I guess.

    Listen to this mosquito ring tone on NPR. Only people under 30 are supposed to be able to hear it.

    I can hear a faint piercing sound if I turn up the volume almost to the max, whereas my son says it's unbearable at low volume.

    Try it for yourself and if you can hear it and you're over 30 or can't and are under let us know. (With age if you care to disclose.) I'm safely over 30 and would count myself as not hearing it.

    Yeah, I could hear it, 32 here

    The ring tone in post 1, neither my wife 43, my dog 6, my son 10 nor I could hear it.

    You must have some really crappy computer speakers. :)

    I fixed an old bureau and sofa once with a sledgehammer. Too lazy to carry them outside for trash so I downsized them a bit before bringing them outside.

    That **** is annoying as hell. It's like hearing a TV on downstairs with a door shut and the volume all the way down, downstairs. :mad:

    My wife does that all the time when she's on the phone. Grrr.

    Heard them all here. Oddly enough the 1695HZ sounded louder than the 1600 Hz tone. The 1700 was quite faint...although like has been said I'm listening on built in speakers of an LCD monitor here.

    age 37 hear.

    I remember having a link that you could try many test tones and balance them to loudness so as to make them all equal in order to "test" your hearing. I will see if I can find it.

    I'll be 30 in December and that thing is about enough to make me climb the walls. However the wife who is a year and a half younger can just barely hear it when she is just the right angle to the speakers. Weird.:confused:

    I played the mosquito ringtone at work a while back on a friends computer. Neither of us could hear it until he cranked it up really loud (I'm 41 and he's about the same age). At that point we're looking at each other saying "yeah, I think I hear it." We looked around and several of the early 20 crowd jumped up from their chairs and yelled "What is that - turn it down!"

    I have a nasty cold right now and both ears are stopped up. I can hear the first one clearly, the second one if I really crank it, the third one not at all.

    Actually, I went back with some decent Koss headphones and I could hear the 17959Hz .wav file. It was very faint though. Most of my hearing loss can probably be traced to my short lived days of extreme car audio and a couple dozen or so loud concerts. I've been to many concerts, but I'm only counting the ones that really made my ears ring the next day (the sure sign of permanent hearing damage). By the time I turned 30, I started using ear plugs at the really loud concerts.

    Heard all the posted liks to tones except the third one that bamadude posted, which is weird, since I could hear the higher ones easily.

    Oh.....I'll be 40 in December.
