Verizons Voyager Attacks!!!

Yesterday sitting at the reference desk a couple of students approached me with not much to say. All of a sudden I hear a piercing high pitched noise. Not wanting to come off as crazy I didn't say anything at first but I pursued the student back to the computer lab. Where laughing they asked if I could here "that."

This refreshed my memory of an NPR broadcast I had heard about students using high pitched ring tones to dupe teachers whose aged ears could no long hear the frequencies still audible to young teenage ears.

Go ahead and test yourself on the Mosquito Ringtone. I topped out at 18khz and I'm twenty seven.

This was my first encounter and it felt like being carded at a restaurant. I'm still young.
