Not quite the same thing, the thing i posted is the sound alot of councils etc are using to get groups of kids to stop hanging around corners etc

Yeah and the tone they play is a frequency above 15khz, as mentioned in the original thread, this cannot be heard by most people over 25.

also I believe that although councils proposed this sound deterrent earlier this year, it was never put into action because it violates human rights or something.

I think I did read somewhere that classical music actually does have a relaxing influence on people in that they are less likely to kick off if they are listening to it, so I think all public places should play it!


I'll do a test:

*feeds G/Pigs anger inducing drug*....

now vee see zeee guinea piks are fighting ja? Now I vill play zem zee classikal musik...

*plays classic FM*

Oh mein gott, vould shoo look at zat!!

*Errol bows to Tinkerbelle and G/Pigs waltz around carpet discussing poetry and floral arrangments*

Zis is zee pozitif proof zat classical musik giffs zee brain a more civilized perspektiff, sank shoo!

I'm 35 and couldn't hear the sound because the page wouldn't load. :)
Using Ch3tan's page instead, I can hear clearly up to 18KHz. I can "feel" 19KHz more than hear it, and 20KHz is silent.

odd


i cant hear over 12000 on frequency but i have good hearing on everyday things, like i never have to ask people to repeat themselfs or anything and like at work if some one is talking to a customer through the glass like 10 meters away even if im in the middle of a conversation of my own i can still hear and follow both side of thier convo without either convo overlapping or confusing me





does that make me like a super hero?

Couldn't be bothered to play it but if it's the high pitched whine type noise then I can hear it. They use it at the Morrisons near where I used to live, which wouldn't have been such a bad thing if I hadn't been working there! I'm 26 btw =P

My hearing is weird.

I can hear a discussion over a crowded bar, but i might have to put the TV on louder. I can hear the "zrrrrrr" of a lightbulb when it's on it's last leg(and some mousetraps that even dogs shoudln't hear :eek7:), i can hear when a tv is on even with no sound(from the crt tv's), but i might have trouble hearing what people say.

But from what i heard, not hearing the TV and people is just due to distractions or some such.

Shame there's no good "hearing required" jobs around besides in a sub!

Oh and, the page didn't load :twak:

i used to love that 'feeling' when you walked in a room and could tell the old tube TV was still switched on, used to think it was my special power, not sure how that could defeat crime though
