Answer 3

I've heard of it, yes. I'm still looking for a place online to see if I can test it out through my computer's audio. Supposedly it actually is legit, many people over age 30-35 (I've actually heard 40+, though) are unable to hear it. It's supposed to have originated from a "teen deterent" in the U.K designed to keep teens out of stores that used the device. And it is quite possible that it does work. There are sounds out there that most other teens can't hear that I can, and I'm 19. But to be honest, the usefullness of this sound really is absolutely nothing.

In tinnitus, the sounds a person hears are actually perceptions. Since there's no actual source, they are often referred to as "phantom noises". I read that about 8% of all people in the US suffer from tinnitus so you are not the only one who hears these strange noises.

Tinnitus is actually not a disease. It is actually a symptom of a problem that is rooted deep, somewhere within your body. The problem could be a simple one like an infection in the ear, or even simpler, such as ear wax. Just clear the wax and get the infection treated, and the noises could go away. In some people, it could even be the result of a side-effect of a drug they took. Or it could be more complicated.

Answer 5

It's called "mosquito", and it's in the higher frequencies, which is where most hearing loss occurs - whether it's from aging, noise exposure, medical conditions or medications - so the theory is that the younger you are, the more likely you will hear it.

It was originally developed to annoy kids and keep them from loitering in certain places. Here's an article with a download link:

Answer 6

yeah but theres no specific age at which it is unheard, so the day u turn 30 you could still hear it. it depends on how ur hearing deteriorates so if you listen to loud music alot you could stop hearing it earlier
