Secret RingtonesTeenagers from this continent and abroad have found yet another way to sidestep authority, this time in the form of the secret ringtone. What is a secret ringtone and why does it work, you ask? Here’s the skinny on this subtle rule breaker.Researchers in Britain discovered that as our ears age, they become less able to hear particular high pitches, expressly the sound of a mosquito. While this discovery was put to good use by deterring teenagers (who can still hear the secret sound) from shoplifting, teens soon decided to use it to their advantage. Teenagers began using the mosquito noise as a cellular ringtone to alert them to incoming calls and text messages during times they were forbidden from using their cell phones, like during school hours. Not only are teens using the secret ringtone to their advantage, there are a few sites advertising a free secret ringtone. Unfortunately, some of these sites keep the teen’s phone numbers and inundate them with advertisements and telemarketers. Other sites offering a secret ringtone for no charge enroll the phone in a monthly club, with monthly fees the account holder (usually a parent) is responsible for paying. While a favorite among youth, the secret ringtone is often overlooked by adults. If you suspect your kiddo has set their phone to the secret ringtone, ask to look at their settings. If you see the words “secret ringtone”, “mosquito ringtone” or “teen buzz”, chances are they’ve made the switch voluntarily. If you have a teenager that wants to get the secret ringtone, you may want to consider listening to the secret ringtone sample if you are concerned about your teen sneaking in phone time. If you can hear the secret ringtone, chances are other adults can, too. Dogs may become agitated when they hear the secret ringtone, their hearing is much more sensitive. If your pooch becomes stressed just before a cell phone is answered or a text message received, there’s a chance the mobile phone is equipped with a secret ringtone. To download a secret ringtone, use your favorite search engine to look for “secret ringtone”. You can also check your phone manufacturer’s website and cellular service provider’s website to ensure compatibility and trustworthiness. When downloading from an unfamiliar source, it is always a good idea to scan for viruses, spyware and other unwanted “features.”
