Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the get-off-my-lawn dept.

ars writes "The New York Times is reporting on a device called the Mosquito invented by Howard Stapleton designed to drive teens away by emitting a high frequency noise at 75db. Apparently most older people can not hear the sounds, but teens can not stand it. Reports are that it works quite well, but some older people can hear it too. He found the prefect irritating sound by experimenting on his children."

    Yes, that is right. Listen to some Opeth, Children of Bodom, Trivium, Lamb of God, or Killswitch Engage. It takes many years to reach those levels of playing, rhythmic talking (rap) doesn't.
