One of my delivery guys came to work with this on his phone.

"Can you hear this?"

Me: "Yes... FFS make it stop"
Him: "Dammit. You're not supposed to be able to hear it. And why can't I hear it?!"

He's 21. I'm 34.

 
At first I couldn't hear it, then I turned up the volume and I could. Pretty lame, actually. LOL @ teenage repellant.
 
I can hear it, will be 26 next month. Sounds like our 19" tv, in fact it sounds like every CRT tv i've ever owned or watched. does anyone else know what im talkin about...
 
24, can't hear it. I've been to too many concerts and my car radio is always at 50. I hear that hearing aid technology is getting better though
 
I'm 20 and can't hear it when my speakers are on low. I had to turn them up a bit before I could hear it but it made my eyes water once I could. Painful sound. (I have crap speakers though, so maybe they had trouble replicating the sound until I turned them up)

Wow, interesting... I can *barely* hear it, and only because I was listening for it... if it were my ringtone I think I'd miss most of my calls unless I were in a library. I'm 29.

Is it like a high pitched squeelchy type of thing?

That is what I thought I heard coming out of my speakers.

I am 43yrs old.

That was my neighbor =(

I think one of my other neighbors destroyed it. I haven't seen or heard it in forever, and that family had three kids and both parents who could hear it.
 
Ok, high pitched sound? yes. A ring tone? NO!! wtf are they thinking, there is no ringing like a normal phone should (like beep beep or something) its just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. Annoying. How about a real tone?.... BOOOOOOO!
 
That has GOT to be bad for your ears. Its hurts me to listen to it.
I can hear it, and I've been to ALOT of concerts and used to play in a band.
I play'd through a Marshall half stack and I hear ringing all the time so I know the damage is done.
