I'm only 16, and I can't hear it. my brother on the other hand, who is 18, can hear it when my computer speakers play it at 10% volume.
Am I losing my hearing, or something?

I played it a a very low level. My son, who is watching the NBA finals at a loud level, instantly said

"What is THAT?? That is annoying!"

Then my other son came in the room and said, "That is terrible. what is it?"

I cannot hear anything unless I turn the speakers very high.

I couldn't hear it on the report but the sample mp3 was loud and clear. Yecch, that was irritating!

At 31 it came in loud and clear to me,....not that I ever want to hear it again.

Too much time listening to 70's rock at high volumes - I can't detect it at all.

Hear what?

That makes my teeth hurt! Then again, I can tell when the ultrasonic motion detectors in the local market haven't been disabled.

I can see why the use it as a teen repellant! I heard it on the MP3 and it was less than pleasant. My head wants to burst open every time I play it....

At 42, I reluctantly accepted that I couldn't hear it in the little audio clip with the reporter's voice-over. After reading Manny's post I tried again, clicking on the "Download MP3" button. Ouch!

I could hear the ringtone pretty easily, but not the tone at the beginning of the report. The ringtone must be quite a bit lower frequency.

Give me a few more years of sitting in front of the trombones. That ought to clear up any remaining hearing ability!
