The mp3 file link is on that web page. Sadly I cannot hear it, probably due to attending way too rock concerts as a youngster.

Can you guys hear it?

I couldn't hear it. When I get home I'll have the kids listen to it and see if any of them can hear it.

If this turns out to be true, I will be amazed.

It is true Rick, sadly.

I heard it and DAMN that hurt! My eyesight isn't fantastic though so it's meant that my hearing is pretty good. Plus the fact that 23 isn't that old.

I could hear it, but only if I turned my head to the side...?

It's cool, but can this pitch really be loud enough for someone to notice when they are busy doing other things?

My 14 year old son could hear it at any volume. I cranked up my speakers to max (that would normally blow you out the door) and I could hear it...
