Students have been using the sound as a ringtone for their cell phones in class so their teachers cannot hear them ringing.
“I tell the teachers that if their students all of a sudden start shrugging and trying to cover their ears, someone’s phone is probably ringing,” said Craig Kupferberg, assistant superintendent of Findlay City Schools.

People say it's just younger people, I'm a few years past teenaged and I can still hear it. Most of the people I know can't though.
(had this convo a lot while toking)
It's not youth, it's people not giving a shit when they damage their hearing.
If you hear ringing after a loud noise, you've just lost more of it. I avoid this.

Hearing degrades over time, so once you start becoming my age (and probably your age) people start dropping off. I go to lots of concerts so it makes sense that I can't hear higher frequencies that others can hear.
TRB: I stop being able to hear it at 1600 Hz according to this app.

There was a thread here on this a couple years ago and I could still hear it (I guess I was 21 then). I should be losing the ability soon, if not already.

Those devices are horrible. Some bitch in my old neighborhood had one and I had to walk past her house on the way to my friend's place. Fuckers got no right to blast a high-pitched screech into the night just 'cause they can't hear it.

Some company makes a grenade shaped alarm clock that plays those sounds . You pull the pin and you throw it in someones room to get them up.

My friend has a portable mozzie machine, I set it up at one of our gaming lans... it's absolutely brutal.
It wasn't hurting us so much (we're in teh 22-24 age bracket), but the younger brothers and friends in their teenage years were going crazy.
The funny thing is they can't tell where the sound is coming from
