A high-pitched alarm designed to repel youngsters from shops is being used for the melody of a dance track after the success of a mobile phone ringtone.

Merthyr Tydfil-based Compound Security released the "Mosquito" ringtone as a way of letting teenagers hear their phones ringing without adults knowing.

It was developed because adults lose the ability to hear high-pitched sound.

But now the sound is being used in a dance track, Buzzin', with secret melodies only young ears can hear.

The tune was developed after the success of the company's ringtone which was released in June.

it's true...it's being used as a ringtone in schools that ban handphones within compounds here since the teacher's can't hear it.

Where can I try to hear it?

Dunno, i doubt 18 could be too old... But when people say things, I tend to say "what?" quite often...

Turn the volume up, you can hear it. It feels like someone is pulling a very fine hair out of the centre of your brain out through your ear...

lol...wad a description...true though. One of them is awfully high pitched, and covering your ears didn't help very much sometimes

One of them? Can you link me to the place you listened to them?

yeah i can hear it if i plug in my head phone and turn it to full blast, the other guy in the office ( hes in his late 30s) can't hear it at all. Thats nuts!

edit: yeah i'm still young! i bet old man wraggs can't hear it!
