I don't get it. Are kids like dogs? LOL It's all over the news
that there is a frequency that kids can hear and most adults
cannot. It was said that when it was discovered, the tone was
used in a store somewhere in Europe that had a teen population
that the proprietors didn't want loitering, so they played this
tone that adults couldn't hear, but it annoyed the hell out of
kids. Weird.

An experiment - my cats seem to be able to hear this. I can't.
Bonnie in particular looked very annoyed with me when I kept
replaying it. I had the laptop volume turned all the way up.

I can hear it and it's absolutely horrible! On the other hand Soncek
heard it but was only mildly interested.
Best wishes,
POlonca and Soncek

Being a former fighter pilot he probably can't. That job is hard on
the ears, even if it was for only a few years.

I heard of such a thing. It's called classical symphonic music. Read
many years ago about a convenience store that tried everything to
chase the teens away. Cause they were frightening the higher paying
adult customers. Speakers at the roof edge, and symphonic music.
