Silent Ringtone
 

Hey have yall seen that commercial for a silent ringtone that only some ppl can here??? Well all it really is a very high frequency sound so just save yourself the money and use the one posted below. Works great on the 6700.

Holy snikes I knew someone would ask for this. Can you hear it? My little bro and ole lady said they could never hear it but I can. Thanks for sharing.

I think it is, the younger you are the better you can hear it. Cause old ppl can't here it but I hear it perfectly.

:toothy10: my bros 17 and Im 21. :D I hear it fine but I do have good hearing......speaking of the high khz can u hear the slight buzz of eletronic things? like tv or computer and whatnot.....that very high pitched slight buzz that is very similar to this ringtone?

strange thing is that I could hear that only today but couldn't hear it on tv. its kinda stupid as a ringer. but mike yea I kno what your talkin about with electronics.

if you can hear a clock tick all the time.....well, u gonna hear this

ya i was a at my wifes aunts house and i kept hearing this weird noise. i asked her if she could hear it, of course she said i must be going crazy because she couldn't hear it

but gonna try this just to try it. i hate high pitch noises they really bother me! :wink:



i cant have that as a ringtone. id drive myself crazy with it :shock:

haha I live with the high pitch noises (electricity, electronics and what not that give off very high pitched sounds/humms I guess u could call them) all the time and have kind of learned to tune them out.

i hate them. my palm made this noise i hated using my palm when there was complete silence. some of them aren't that bad but some of them i cant stand :!:

that is one of the most god awful sounds i've ever heard!

yeah, the sound of the screen, it annoys the hell out of me too.

There are those Deer and animal repellants that use a high frequency sound, somewhere between 16 and 17 Khz, that always distract me when im driving.

One night i followed the sound onto someone's property, and when i got within 3 feet of the speaker i had to cover my ears. My partner, who's almost 50 (im 27), looked at me like i was crazy. I had to spend the rest of the shift explaining the degenerative properties of the human auditory system with age.

..... He didn't like to hear that he was getting old.

here is another link, gives you a full range to see which ones you can hear. I'll tell you, I use it because most people can't hear it and I can't stand hearing other peoples ring in the office!!

Re: Silent Ringtone
 

One interesting thing I noticed is that when the wav file is compressed to a wma file, the tone disappears. I remember reading that mp3s lost some of the high frequencies. Looks like wma loses them also/more.

I'm trying to make the files for the higher frequency tones longer... but when I import them to my wave editor, they flatline (on the scope). Anyone make these usable ringtones by making them over 10 seconds long?

Problem
 

Somethings wrong with mine. I can't hear anything! :-/








JUST KIDDING! 8)

:shock: OK hee's the geeky bit -

Yeah, most people lose the ability to hear high freq as they age - but there is a lot more to it ...

Sorry to say if you can't hear it when the ad plays on TV, but can hear the ringer, then your TV probably has an amp that just doesn't respond to higher freqs, or speakers that can't reproduce them. I work in live sound, and even though we know that most people abosolutely can't tell, you still try to get the 20 Hz to 20 KHz response out of your system, because somehow it just sounds "better"!

There are a lot of moderating factors - as for compressing/converting - it is certainly possible that you can lose high end - tho I have found that MP3s tend to sound a bit "peaky" (too much high end) , something that you either get used to or you EQ out.....

Anyway,had to put in my 2 cents (pennies - I'm English) worth

lol...I can only hear it in my left ear.
