Hearing Damage

A friend sent me this story about a ringtone that is supposedly audible only to teenagers and people in their early 20s.

Straw poll - How many Misanthrope readers can hear it?

Post your results in the comments section.

I saw a story on the Today Show about this. Can't stream audio here at work, so I'll check it at home.

I'm betting I can hear it. Everything else is going to hell with me, but for some reason my ears are still in good shape.

Sneaky bastards these kids. Why don't they just put their phones on vibrate?

I'll bet that Chrispy can, and so can I, but it will sound fine to me, but it will make him want to kill.

I had to turn up all the volume settings on my computer all the way up before I heard it. My work room is noisy here in ATL, but I fear my highs have taken a beating over the years.

I could make a joke at my lovely wife's expense, but I don't want to sleep on the couch...
