Hang on, I'll put in my hearing aid.

Is that was that noise was??! I thought you were pissing about with the tv!

Holy crap son of a bitch. I was listening to that with my speakers turned down, and I could hear a tiny tiny buzz and was like "Bah, my ears are probably fucked, I'm probably just imagining it" so I turned up my speakers a little...

And got the worst ear misery I've heard in a long time. That sound is like a sharp point being driven into my ear.

That's not a very good example of the sound.
I know because I can hear it very clearly and when they were first around there was a website you could go and check your susceptibility to them on, wish I remembered the address.

You're right. Found another one:

AAAAAARGH. It's not as bad as the first one, but why am I listening to noises I hate? ;)

Interesting, I could hear the first one, but in this link, all I could hear was ambient background noise. And I didn't find the first link all that annoying. The cats hated both.

I think you have to turn the volume up- all I could hear was background noise at first but when I turned the volume up a wee bit I could hear it. And I'm 21 so I should be able to!

They were using a mosqito in Danderhall, and in Dalkeith, at one point. I absolutely loathed them, as I had to endure the ear splitting sound any time I wanted to go to the co-op. The one in the test seems to be a little lower in frequency though, but still really painful.

Yep, could hear that no problems and didn't find it annoying. Mind you, I've had a lot of practice putting up with annoying stuff!

I was not aware I could hit a pause button so quickly. :p

Don't put on your hearing aid, those things squeal even worse.

Urgh, I hate those things. Hideous.
