I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I could hear the teenager one! Once I adjusted the volume on my computer...
Okay, do I have mutant hearing?
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.

Maybe I'm doing the test wrong.
If not, I await my acceptance letter to Xavier's school.

I started hearing it at 16. Not a fun sound.

I heard it around 16. At 15, I had to pull the buds out of my ears.

I didn't hear it with my right ear until 13k, couldn't hear it at all with my left. But I've always been majorly deaf in the one ear and being around aircraft and high-decibel electronics didn't help much either. I could probably get a disability from the Navy if I really pushed it. It just wouldn't be enough to get any money for it, so I don't bother.
