A cell phone, everyone has one and also the kids. But their cellphones are not always allowed on all places. On most schools or public places a mobile cell phone is not allowed. Like a cinema or a funeral. But also at school.

When your phone rings while you're at school you loose your phone when you get caught on having one in the school. And it's not so hard to notice a mobile phone when it rings, is it? But now there is a solution for that problem: the mosquito ringtone. This ringtone is a mp3 ringtone wich makes the sound of a mosquito. But the sound is such a high sound that you need really good ears to hear it. And it is well-known that children have better ears than older people. When you become 20 years old you start getting hearing losses and you won't hear the mosquito ringtone. So that's what is so great about the mosquito ringtone at school, only you and your classmates hear them, not your teacher! But when the teacher has a good hearing, you're in deep mud!

Also when your phone 'rings' everyone in the class looks up to you and the teacher might get the idea of you having a mosquito ringtone on your cell phone. Your classmates might even ask to shut down the annoying sound!

This high sound technique is allready used at some train stations in the Netherlands to get rid of all the youth that's hanging out there. They have speakers where they play the mosquito sound with so they scare off the local youth. So the train visiters feel safer and the perron is less busy. But there have also been complaints by the younger people who are waiting for the train to go to their work, they hear that annoying sound the whole time. So probably it's not that solution against the rebellic youth.

The mosquito ringtone is available on the internet on various websites. It's easy to get a free one, but you will need a datacable to send it to your mobile phone.

The next question is: what's next? If you allready have realtones, monophonic ringtones, polyphonic ringtones, irritones, voicetones, nametones, truetones, funtones, videotones and you now even have unhearable ringtones? I wonder what's next...
