The Mosquito produces a really high pitch sound that only people under the age of 18 can hear, and my god its awful, I remember it been on the news where businesses put the 'mosquito' on their buildings and it prevents Teenagers from hanging around on their property because if customers see a group of teenagers they automatically think that the teenagers are up to no good.
but our teacher uses it to shut people up in our class, but I have never seen this used by any businesses, well not in my area anyways.

I found this link (I haven't tried this, i found this on yahoo answers) you can also search the 'mosquito' on youtube.
Overall i thought this would be interesting to post, so discuss.

Not really.
Your hearing degrades ove time. The audible spectrum of sounds that you can hear slowly decreases over time.
So theoretically, a person that's say, 30 years old wouldn't hear a sound that's in the 15khz range.The list of ages and pitches on that page might be off though.
Band has degraded my hearing quite a bit. I can only barely make out 19Khz. D:

Yeah its legal, it was on the news a couple of years ago saying that teenagers really do hate the sounds, so therefore 'Mosquito' is known to be successful (or so I've heard) but it wouldn't surprise me if someone takes this to the courts

And this is cruel and unusual. Effective I imagine, but must be one hell of sound.

It's not that bad to me personally. Definitely would be annoying after extended periods.
I can barely hear 21khz, 20khz I can DEFINITELY hear. I'm 18 next month, however. Will be interesting to see how I do in a few months...

How in god's name can you hear that? I only notice it because I'm looking for it.

I think it's ridiculous. Young people are human too, they have rights, you can't just install teenage repellent like you would for animals, lol.

And most teenagers are destructive. In California, at least.
