These days there is a new ringtone type in the market, ‘The Mosquito Ringtone’.

This is the ringtone that only kids under 20 can hear. Most of the teens these days call it ‘Teen Buzz’. No wonder this ringtone is spreading like fire from phone to phone via text messages and Bluetooth . From tutions to classrooms these days every kid has this ringtone, since adults cannot hear this type of ringtone.

About the RingTone:

‘TeenBuzz’ owes its origins to a ‘teen-repellent’ gadget called Mosquito. Its inventor Howard Stapleton described it as a device ‘almost all of those aged below 20 can hear while almost nobody aged above 30 can’.

The idea occurred to Stapleton from a childhood experience. When 12, he had once accompanied his father to a welding shop where the high-pitched whining of the machines hurt his ears. But he noticed that the welders themselves heard nothing. He came to know that children can hear sounds of very high frequency. This ability decreases as a person ages.

It was this observation which he put to use while inventing Mosquito. It emitted a sound on a very high frequency (18,000-Hz) that adults failed to hear, but proved very irritating to teens, thus keeping them out.

The result was the Mosquito - the world’s first teen-repellent which was launched last November.

This ringtone is available from thethinktanksoftware and one can also download other types of ringtones for free for your AT&T, Sprint, etc handsets.
