NEW YORK Jun 13, 2006 (AP)— Students are using a new ring tone to receive messages in class, and many teachers can't even hear the ring.
Some students are downloading a ring tone off the Internet that is too high-pitched to be heard by most adults. With it, high schoolers can receive text message alerts on their cell phones without the teacher knowing.
As people age, many develop what's known as aging ear, a loss of the ability to hear higher-frequency sounds.
The ring tone is a spin-off of technology that was originally meant to repel teenagers, not help them. A Welsh security company developed the tone to help shopkeepers disperse young people loitering in front of their stores while leaving adults unaffected. The company called their product the "Mosquito."
Donna Lewis, a teacher in Manhattan, says her colleague played the ring for a classroom of first-graders, and all of them could hear it, while the adults couldn't hear anything.

I have heard of a company who market a device which emits a high pitched noise that only teenagers can hear (because as you get older, your hearing deteriorates slightly). This device is used by shops to prevent youths from congregating outside and causing trouble.
The only way you are going to get this as a ring tone is to record it using your phone, or similar digital device.

Unless your phone accepts mp3 ringtones dont bother ,but search for teen buzz was the name that was going around. I have them but they are on mp3 so if you can use them let me know.

yes, although there was a group of us listening to those tones and some adults could hear it while some of us couldn't--kinda weird.

It all depends on the adult, so can hear it, others can't.
