This the actual sound used to shoo off teenagers from storefronts. It is VERY irritating and I'm quite certain it's damaging after a while. My ears feel numb everytime I hear it.
EDIT: You'll have to download it as the particular frequency is cut-off in the low quality preview version.

31, and can hear it as clear as a bell (after downloading and listening to it that way).
I could definitely see how that would be annoying!
There are railway stations that play classical music to achieve the same result.

I am 32 and i can hear it, but it does not hurt that bad.
But it feels little like after a rock concert.
I guess we should be careful.
Btw: I would like a sound to scare off Mosquito with if it exists, that would be cool.

I'm 28 and I can hear the shrill whine, but even on loud volume it sounds quiet to me. I do have some degree of tinnitus though.
