This is what kids are using on their cell phones so the teacher can't hear it. I guess I'm not a geezer yet... I can hear it.

Clear as a bell. . .well, not as a bell, but maybe as a. . . . whatever that note is.

My other discussion group spent 2 weeks discussing this, and wound up doing a double blind test.

The magic ages appear to be 31-33.

What is it supposed to sound like? I just here a continuous, very high-pitched, whine.

I can't be that old...
