supposedly this sound is only audible to younger than 25.  I'm almost 28 and I think I heard it.

		thinkgeek.com has an 'annoyatron' that you can buy, it'll randomly emit this noise and you can hide it under someones desk and let them go nuts.  A co-worker of mine bought one, it has a magnet on it and we move it all around the office to drive my supervisor bananas...everyone pretends that they can't hear it, it's awesome

		Well, I heard it and i'll be 43 in April.  I do, however, have super-sensitive hearing because of all my kids.  Momma don't miss much and they HATE it. 
 
WHAT did you just say?  You'd better zip it shut before I whip your butt!
	 
	
	
 Hey doc, do you know the address of that place? 
Oh, you know, I do know the address. It's at the corner of go fuck yourself and buy a map!

I'm not 24 yet, but it's too close to my birthday to say I'm 23.  So I thought I would be exact.  
 
I don't understand why I can't hear it...

		If it's that high-pitched sound that only happens when my speakers are cranked as loud as they can go, then yes.  I couldn't hear it when my headphones were plugged into the tower, though.

		I thought about clicking the link but didn't and I'm 26...no 27...wait...no 26 and a bunch of days old.
	 
	
	
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.

I wish they would do more of these.  My brother-in-law who I worked with at the time swore he could hear it.  After they announced it was a hoax he said that he was just kidding too.  We gave him so much crap about that.

		I didn't hear it the first time but I have a few times since then.  Maybe it doesn't exist and I just convinced myself that I heard it.  I could be crazy.  It's very possible.
	 
	
	
I am the irrepressible dark horse. 
Film it.  Listen to it.  Live it.  Love it. 
 
All the best,

		good god...I'm 32 and about crawled out of my skin.  How can you not hear that?  I've haven't been what you would call kind to my ears either. 
 
*edit* Further investigation reveled I can barely hear it with my right ear.  If I didn't know it was there and only had my right ear I probably would notice it.

		I couldn't hear anything.  I secretly played it without my wife knowing and she got pissed and wondered what I was doing.

		23: When I faced the speaker, I could hear it loud and clear, but when I turned my back to it, I could still kind-of hear it, but really, I "felt" the sound.
