I'd still catch them - I'm THAT good.

I do have to say that even though I couldn't hear it, my ears feel very uncomfortable. So the sound waves certainly reached my eradrums.

My eighth grade English teacher, Miss Norma Smith, could smell gum 100 yards away. And she could always pull a tissue from somewhere on her person to place it in after she caught you.

...I think I had that teacher, too, Somms!
I couldn't hear it.
I don't believe it exists... I think you're all pulling an Emperor's New Clothes on us.

It's the same sort of sound our old TV made when someone left it on after playing a video game (the TV had to be turned to a special video setting). I would come downstairs and immediately hear that awful high-pitched noise. But my parents could never hear it.

We all did this at work. I couldn't hear it. Some of the younger co-workers mocked us older ones. And I replied, "Well - if my brain is filtering out such an annoying sound - I'm thankful. Especially since that means it's probably filtering out plenty of other sounds I don't want to hear"

I saw this on the Today show this morning, and that is the most annoying sound.
Apparently kids are changing it to the ring for text messages, so they wouldn't be actually taking a call in class. However, if I were a student in a class and I heard that over and over again, I would throw the person's phone out the window.
What happened to good old fashioned note passing?

Ok.. so back to my co-worker conversation for a moment.
Another older staff member said to one of the younger ones "You're like that person who takes something spoiled or rotten and makes someone else sniff it when you know it's already bad, aren't you?"
I remember when those "magic eye" 3D images were popular (are they still?) and some of my friends could see them without any trouble. For the longest time I would try and all that would happen would my eyes would start watering like crazy. Eventually I developed the ability to see them all the while thinking, "yeah..ok.. now what?" lol

Oh! I loved the Magic Eye pictures!
There's a certain trick to seeing them. You kind of have to cross your eyes while still looking foward.
I loved ones with dolphins. Actually, I loved everything with dolphins back then.

Maybe they should make cyber magic eyes so the pictures move.

maybe they could have moving magic eye photos that play music in that high frequency!

That sounds like the perfect recipe for a headache!
...which means it would be extremely popular.
ETA: I actually found some moving ones. It's hard on my eyes. Maybe it's age or my contacts, but definitely too stressful for my vision!

All I heard was a very faint hum. I do have some hearing loss issues, so...
And I never did manage to see those Magic Eye things.

Apparently, they used that tone overseas at convenience stores to ward away teenagers so they wouldn't hang out around them.
