    When we were playing with it in the office the issue wasn't that the kids had a silent-to-us ring tone, it was more like "crap, I can't hear it, I'm not that old!". We were just shocked that some could hear it and describe it while others hear nothing.

    Obviously this thread has deteriorated into irrelevant chat and should be closed.

    BTW
    Sometimes it isn't the ear it's the brain. I have a feeling that in your case this might be the problem.

    There are a few of these ringtones out. One has people laughing in the background. I can hear two of them, but not the others. All of them make my daughter scream and yell TURN OFF THE SPEAKERS. She says that they really hurt her ears.

    That is one of the most annoying things I have ever heard.

    It was suppose to be a high-pitched tone according to the article. I kept waiting for an actual ring tone, lol.
