Ever forget to turn off your phone or put it on silent when in class? Ever wanted to have a ringtone on and not have your parents hear it? Well you’re in luck..
In an article in the New York Times, A Ring Tone Meant to Fall on Deaf Ears PAUL VITELLO reports that this ringtone cannot be heard due to its high pitch and the presbycusis or aging of the ear. If you like link through to the page you can hear or not hear the sound.
Personally I found the sound quite annoying and even heard the sound while the volume was at zero. Maybe this tells me I have awesome hearing but knock on wood I do own iPods. Go ahead and listen to the sound, if you cant hear it, you might have to get your hears checked if you’re under the age of 40.
Download the ringtone
Enjoy the Silence
