Can you hear it? Cell phone ringtone

Recommended Posts

That was very strange. I'm 30 and have suffered from tinnitus (constant ringing) in both ears all my life. I could tell when the tone started because it sounded like somebody turned up the volume on the ringing in my ears- that tone matches what I hear everyday almost perfectly. After a couple seconds, the tone just blended perfectly with the ringing, and I never heard it stop. I know it must've stopped, but I can't really tell. Very strange.

Won't state my age, and I couldn't hear it.

I tested my 18 year old to see if it really was true that they could hear it.

He was in the kitchen fixing lunch and I played the ring tone. He came out of the kitchen and asked what that noise was.

Does any one know where the kids can download that ring tone?

Can't hear a thing, and I really cranked the sound up.

I do think my poor cat heard it, even though she's about 14 or 15yrs. old - she came into the room and meowed at me in a strange way like "What's goin' on?"

I can barely hear it, so I voted no. I have my speakers cranked up as loud as they go. I'm over 50. My 22 year old and my 25 year old here are telling me to stop it - it's hurting their ears.

I'm 46. Let's say that once it is downloaded onto my mobile, I play it at max volume with loudspeaker on and with same mobile at 2"-5 cm off my ear, I can hear a hissing high frequency sound, very, very feeble. I can hear "something".
When played on PC: nothing. No sound at all.
So, let's say that if it is played on somebody else's mobile at least at 3 ft-1 m distance, for me it would be IMPOSSIBLE to hear. Yeah, I'm old :(

I think I am going to get this downloaded some how and preview it at random times in a crowd to see how many people start looking around. :S:D:S

Um, I'm confused. I expected to be struggling to hear it, but it's very clear to me (even with the volume low) and doesn't even sound that high-pitched.

But maybe the fact that I didn't find it annoying means there is something wrong with my ears anyway :)
Beats me how anybody wouldn't be able to hear it. Weird...

I'm 30 & even with my speakers on the lowest setting it's loud & anoying as hell!!

But then again, when you turn off the cable but leave the the TV on - there's a slight buzzz & I can hear that from like 50' away - upstairs & down the hall it annoys me. It's a curse to be able to hear so well!

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.
