Teen Buzz and Teenager Repellent!!

Teenager Repellent?

Ever heard of it? Mosquito is launched as a is a teenager repellent - an ultrasonic device that emits a sound only audible to teenagers. Click here to read about the details!

In the Company's own words:

"The Mosquito ultrasonic teenage deterrent is the solution to the eternal problem of unwanted gatherings of youths and teenagers in shopping malls and around shops. The presence of these teenagers discourages genuine shoppers and customers’ from coming into your shop, affecting your turnover and profits. Anti social behaviour has become the biggest threat to private property over the last decade and there has been no effective deterrent until now.

It seems that there is a very real medical phenomenon known as presbycusis or age related hearing loss which, according to The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, "begins after the age of 20 but is usually significant only in persons over 65". It first affects the highest frequencies (18 to 20 kHz) notably in those who have turned 20 years of age". It is possible to generate a high frequency sound that is audible only to teenagers."

Now comes the most interesting part!!
Teen Buzz!

Well some of our smart teens have recorded the ultra-high sound - audible only to under-20s- onto their cell phones, and are now receiving calls and text messages in class - without teachers having the faintest idea of what is going on.They call it Teen Buzz, and it's spreading it from phone to phone via text messages and Bluetooth. Seems like a new market is blooming in there!
