DO "MOSQUITOES" OFTEN DETER THE WRONG PEOPLE?


[+] ballot by nuckinfutz
ACTIVE Thu May 10, 07 - Tue Feb 02, 10

"Mosquitoes" are speakers that emit a loud, ultrasonic frequency around 18-19 kHz in order to deter teenagers. They're used by shopowners to keep teenagers away from stores. The idea behind them is that people over the age of 20 can't hear frequencies higher than 18kHz, but people under 20 can hear frequencies as high as 20kHz. I'm 31 and I can hear an 18,500 kHz frequency loud and clear. Mosquitoes are currently being used by many British retailers.

Yes, I'm well over 20 and I can hear frequencies higher than 18,000 kHz

I know what you mean, nuck. A few malls here in Metro Atlanta have such apparati, and I've had to avoid them altogether, for the sake of my one decent ear.

Have you seen the price of them though? A baseball bat is a lot cheaper.

I never, ever go to malls. Ever.

what a great idea. Driving away potential customers based on something as silly as age.
