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.

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.

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.
