The mosquito ring tone is a high pitch ringtone. This high frequency ringtone can't be heard by many adults. Kids can hear the Mosquito Ringtone. That's why they install it on their cell phones. Use the Mosquito Ringtone and your parents and teachers can't hear it.

The science behind the Mosquito Ringone (teen buzz)? We lose the ability to hear high frequencies as we age. This process is called Presbycusis. For example, a device is sold to businesses that emits a high frequency sound. Loitering teen-agers find it annoying and leave. Adults can't hear it and still come in to shop.

Students use the high pitch mosquito ringtone to receive text messages in school so their teachers can't hear their cell phones ring. Like during tests. Think cheating...

I'm the father of three teen-aged sons. They can all hear the Mosquito Ringtone. I can't. I'm told some adults can hear it so check before you use it.

NPR had a story about the mosquito ringtone that Colleen pointed out to me. That's what prompted me to create these MP3 and WAV files. The radio story featured an interview with Howard Stapleton, the teen repellent inventor, and his daughter. This article has additional background information too.
