Wanna hear something really cool? This one is a must for you! Well, If you ‘re a teenager, this one is definitely for you. Ever heard of mosquito ringtone? You know, ringtones that will enable you to receive text messages and phone calls in class without your teachers hearing them.

What Is It Anyways..

Alrite long story short, it’s a tone outside the audible range of hearing for most people over the age of 30. This means that you can get phone calls and receive text messages in class or school without teachers hearing it.

“The Mosquito”, as the product was named, took advantage of a curious medical fact that most adults (and kids) are unaware of. Natural adult hearing loss is particularly acute at higher frequency ranges and most adults can not hear the ultra high frequency ranges after a certain age due to the condition known as Presbycusis.

Um,.. Presbycusis what?

The principle behind Presbycusis is a biological fact that hearing experts refer to as an ‘aging ear’. Medical scientists state that starting at around age 20, the human ear begins to lose its ability to hear tones in the highest human-range frequencies (18-20 khz), and this condition progressively gets worse the older you get. Most adults over 40 or 50 exhibit some symptoms of this condition. Young adults are usually asymptomatic since most human reproduced audio waves and communication takes place in the range of 200 and 8,000 hertz. For this reason, the deterioration of the ability to detect ultra high frequencies generally go undetected.

Lil bit History

The history of Mosquito Ring Tone dates back to 2005 when a British inventor by the name of Howard Stapleton came up with an ingenious idea to drive away teens through ultra high frequency sounds much like how a dog whistle would affect dogs. It was an idea to make the storefront very uncomfortable for the loitering teens while leaving the money spending adult customers unaffected.

As with any inventive good idea, sooner or later someone is going to use it for something other then the original intended purpose. In this case, some equally inventive teens in the inventor’s hometown (Birmingham) caught on to what the company was doing and decided to put turn the idea into something they could use. They took the ultra sonic frequency and converted into to a cell phone ringtone which they aptly named “Teen Buzz”. As such, the “adult proof” ringtones known as the mosquito ringtone was born.

Teens learned they could hear each others phones ringing at school but their teachers couldn’t. How cool is that! Well, told you it’s cool! Alrite, here ’s the place you ‘ll gonna get it for free, FreeMosquitoRingtones.org.
