Another way to prove we are getting old

My pesky 11 year old asked me if she could download a ringtone. Being the involved parent, I asked to see the site and hear the tone. I was shocked. They actually have ringtones that adults cannot hear and kids can. They are called mosquito tones. They have different frequencies. One is so high that my 11 year can hear it and my 20 year old cannot. When it rings in class, all the kids laugh and the teachers wonder what is going on. I can only hear 8 and 10 khz. my daughter can hear much higher. As we get older we get deaf to the higher tones.

I curse my stereo system and Led Zepplin.

Check out this site and tell me what you hear!
