That's a link to a file with a sweeping (descending) tone ranging from 22kHz to 12kHz. I can start to hear it at 17.

Have I said, "Fuck John Bolton" before? I believe I have.

John Bolton At CPAC: Jokes About Nuking Chicago

More at Mother Jones:

"The fact is on foreign policy I don't think President Obama thinks it's a priority," said Bolton. "He said during the campaign he thought Iran was a tiny threat. Tiny, tiny depending on how many nuclear weapons they are ultimately able to deliver on target. Its, uh, its tiny compared to the Soviet Union, but is the loss of one American city" – here Bolton shrugged his shoulders impishly – "pick one at random – Chicago – is that a tiny threat?"

Bolton wasn't the only one who thought this was funny. The room erupted in laughter and applause. Was this conservative catharsis, with rightwingers delightfully imagining the destruction of a city that represents Obama? Or perhaps they were venting vengeance with their laughter. (Bolton is no stranger to inflammatory remarks. He once infamously quipped, "There are 38 floors to the UN building in New York. If you lost 10 of them, it wouldn't make a bit of difference.")

Fuck John Bolton.

Huh. I hear it right away at 22.

That one I heard at 16.

Okay, do I have mutant hearing?

I can hear the teenager sound. To me, it sounded nothing remotely like water running in a toilet tank; it was so unpleasant I had to shut it off after the first couple of seconds. Ugh. If malls are really-truly using that to ward off loitering teens, I am gladder than ever that I generally avoid the damn places.

Ugh. It's giving me the shudders just remembering the sound.

And I could hear the teenager one! Once I adjusted the volume on my computer...

Apparently.

Dana is either a teenager, or possibly a dog (because on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.)

(Until you admit to hearing 22kHz sounds.)

Huh, interesting Liese--I didn't hear it until 15!! (But I also couldn't hear the teenager one. And I"m pretty sure I've got hearing damage--I HATE talking on the phone because I have to keep saying "what? what?"--that's why I prefer b.org and LJ and IM and such for keeping up with people!)

I heard it at 19 and almost jumped out of my skin. I don't think I can click on any more of these links.
