What Really is the “Ring Tone Only Kids Can Hear”?

This “frequency” ringtone goes by a bunch of different names depending on where you hear about it. It’s simply a small sound file a few seconds in length and typically, not very large in terms of file size. The very first implementation of the ring tone was at the 17khz frequency. This is the same frequency that Howard Stapleton used in his device called The Mosquito.

Soon after the release of information about Mr. Stapleton’s device surfaced, people created ringtones in all sorts of different frequencies. The upper range for mp3 files is 22khz and there are thousands of different possible frequencies in the range of 17khz to 22khz. People quickly learned/remembered that kids were able to hear things at an even higher pitch frequency. Whether you call it the mosquito ringtone, teen buzz, ultra sonic ringtone, or the ringtone adults can’t hear, they are all the same thing; The ringtone that only kids can hear.
