Adult-Proof Ring Tone

Post by Cyberliger777 » Wed May 09, 2007 3:18 am

http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/showSto ... cleID=6350

I just learned about this article in my job training. We did not have audio for the computers so I just got a chance to really test it out and it works. My older friends could not hear the tone at all while it was clear as a bell for me. And it is so irritating if you can hear it that I am thinking of getting the ring tone myself just for the fun of it.

See if you can hear it here.

Or not, as the case may be. I remember posting about this last year. There's a thread somewhere.

Yeah, I've heard about it. No, my ABI can't pick it up. I feel like I can "feel" it, but that's probably just my imagination.

Wasn't this ringtone used for cheating awhile back?

I think you're thinking of the whole "iPod" thing, where students were downloading audio tracks of the answers to their iPods.

Ugh. I can't hear the tone, but I get a freaking headache whenever it goes off. D:

Oh my god.

It's like a television with no input, or whatnot, but only worse.

A kid I work with has this on his phone. I can hear it.

Actually I lied. I based my previous statement off of an mp3 I listened to months ago. I could hear this one. I think drowning is a better fate.

That's not "adult-proof." It's too low.

Besides which, it's moronic. Okay, so you have a ringtone some adults can't hear. You think they're not gonna realize it when every kid in the class cringes and looks in one direction?

Not to mention you'll always have that ONE kid who thinks he's clever:

"Ms Johnson, can you tell joe that hes not allowed to have his phone ring in class? It's hurting my ears...."
