Oops sorry i must of forgot

Doh! Helps if I turn the volume of my laptop up!

There was a local news programme on a while ago about those Mosquito devices shops are using to stop kids hanging around.

I was upstairs in the bath when they did a demonstration of it - and I still heard it from downstairs.

Do they assume you go deaf over 25 ?

Sort of - the higher register of sounds is supposed to be less audible, the older you get. Not in my case though, and not in a lot of other people's, by the look of it.

I know frequency range is supposed to taper off but perhaps it's not high enough for the intended purpose ?, or we all have golden ears ?

My OH can't hear it, and he's the same age as me, so I'm not sure really.
The other thing is travel sickness - it's caused by the bit of the inner ear that affects balance being upset, and that's meant to become less sensitive as we age, too.
Again, not me - I still chuck up in coaches and can't read or do anything that involves having to focus on long car trips.

I heard it , well it is designed for us Teens of course .
