If you could, post a URL to where I can download it via PC. I have no use for it on my phone, I'm not in school :p I just want to see it work.

"Assuming your teacher is human, they have the same range of hearing as you. "
As you get older, you are said to lose your ability to hear very high-frequency sounds.

I'd love to provide a URL for you, but this is what I think:
IF this thing exists, it sounds to be basically equivalent to a dog whistle.
IF a person is so old that their hearing won't pick up on sounds that you or I would, there is a chance they may invest in a hearing aid.
Just because it is SAID that people start losing their hearing when they get older, that doesn't mean it is necessarily true for all.
Some teachers are straight out of school and are in their early to mid-twenties.
I don't buy it.

You will first need to have your teachers hearing checked to find the frequency it can't hear. Then find ring tones that fall into that range. Can be very expensive. Might just get a new teacher, or stay home from school.

Here is a link to an NPR article about the tone. Research has shown that as people age, they generally lose the ability to hear higher pitches. Hence, young people can hear the tone, while many older people can not. The ring tone was actually developed based on "mosquito" technology, which used the tone to drive away young persons loitering around stores.

The mad rush to find this ring tone follows media stories, however since many teachers are still in their 20s and 30s (and many even in the 40s can still hear) don't count on the effectiveness. The tones vary by carrier, commercial sites sell them (e.g. http://www.dada-mobile.net/wizard3/?affil=7846-CD3364), but be careful about handing out too much information like your cell phone number. The effect is overstated by teens, you will find some teachers who can still hear the tone well into their 40s.

Unless your teacher is deaf,your chances of getting a ringtone that they can't hear are very slim. I suggest you place your phone in the "manner mode" where it vibrates instead of ringing. Then your teacher can only tell it is ringing if it makes you visibly vibrate!!
Have a great day!

As you age you lose hearing in the high pitch range. Children can hear certain high pitch tones that adults can't hear.

I would be too, comon sense would tell you that unless teachers are actually a different kind breed or whatever of human than the rest of us, that they would be able to hear it as well, think about it please, because well, it is common sense

i just heard about this on the radio. whats going to be funny is when kids try to get away with this with a teacher who is in their mid 20's and expect them not to hear it. i wonder why they dont just set them on vibrate...

I THINK THE TEACHER HAS THE SAME HEARING AS YOU DO.
