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!)
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

I heard it at 17 and jumped and immediately turned the sound off. What a horrible noise!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm waiting until I get back to the office to try it.
I bet you all can't wait to see how I do, huh?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I can't hear the Teenager sound. And the sound sweep, I can only hear at 13.
Target Alert: They're putting cute Spring stuff in the dollar bins. We got flower headbands today. I'm waiting patiently for the Easter stuff so we can replace our fuzzy bunny ears.
