Can you hear this?

Rambo · 09-18-2006, 10:36 PM

There is a device on a program called The Gadget Show called 'The mosquito' and its used as an anti-social device as it meant to broadcast a noise which is unbearable to people aged below 25 in the hope to repel gangs of youth's hanging around outside shops.

I can't hear it unless I pop my ears. But I think it would be interesting to see whether you guys can hear it, what with a lot of young people (and older) who are members here

Serenade_Me · 09-18-2006, 10:40 PM

Ya i can hear it.

Nevakonaza · 09-18-2006, 10:45 PM

Yeah i here it here too,

Dont realy understand how this will get rid of gangs of youth's hanging around shops.

I dont think it would even bother most of them as there shouting and breaking bottles...And shop windows anyway

I can hear it. Kinda made me laugh, sure dosn't repel me, I could listen to that for a decent while before getting annoyed or used to it and tuning it out.

I'm weird that way.

The_Beast · 09-18-2006, 10:52 PM

yeah i can hear it just fine. kind of annoying but not that it would drive me away

Yasu · 09-18-2006, 10:53 PM

I can hear it and it doesn't "drive me away". I even raised the volume very high and it didn't really bother me...

I used headphones and it seemed worse than my regular speakers. I think it would take about twice the power to get me to move
