I'm 39. It's right on the verge of being audible for me. At some points, I heard a high-pitched squeal, at others, nothing. However, I felt pain in my ears the whole time.

SWMBO and I both heard and despised the annoying tone, even at low volume. Both of us determined our thresholds based on the "what CAN you hear" link to be somewhere between 17 and 18 kHz. We're both over 30. My job requires exposure to lengthy periods of nearly deafening high frequency noise (with proper hearing protection in place).

I'm using a fairly recent on-board audio card and mid-quality Logitech speakers. I've always been somewhat impressed with my computer's sound quality given my minimal investment in hardware.

I have a slight hearing problem in my right ear and on my laptop with the volume all the way up couldnt hear it unless I put the speakers right up to my left ear and Im 40 this coming month. I work in a wood shop though so Im sure that even my hearing in my good ear probably isnt the greatest either.

That was awesome. I tried it at work a couple days ago but the speakers there are crappy and I couldn't hear anything. But I just tried it on my laptop. It gives me the feeling like my fillings are tingling a little bit, but nothing I can't handle. My son came home from school and I turned it on without telling him. He immediately started complaining about how much it hurt. I now have it as a link on my desktop.

Thanks a million. This will keep me entertained for at least a couple weeks.

Kids were using this tone as a ringtone in school for a while b/c they could hear it but often times the teachers could not.
