The ringtones that are here are allegedly inaudible to people over the age of thirty. I heard 'em both just fine.

On the first one I can hear a very faint high-pitched squeal (I have to turn the volume up to 11), but the second one I can't hear at all.
I am 33 and 5 months. What's the cut-off? Hm.

I'm pretty happy that I can hear both of them. However, they suck, and I'm glad I'm not listening to them anymore.
I am a sprightly 32 and 7 months, though.

Heard about these first on Law & Order. Yeah, that's right. What's more indicative of age? Hearing these things (only with the knobs on 11, by the way) or getting excited to watch Law & Order on a Friday night?
Dun. Dun.

I can't hear them at all. And my computer speakers go to 20.

Tried it with the fam in Berlin. Both sisters and I could hear both, but the brother-in-law and both parents couldn't.
And I'm sad to say, I think I've seen that "Law and Order" twice, no less. Isn't it about the kid who sleeps with his teacher and then they kill his father? However, I'm absolutelly positive that I didn't watch it on a Friday, as usually we are watching some kind of edu-documentary that we rented for free from the library. Which is worse, tgl?

yo, we can hear that shit just fine, and we currently have a dick in each of our big ears.

I can hear 'em--only problem is that the first one sounds exactly like the sounds I hear randomly as part of my incipient tinitus.

It actually sounds like TV backwash to me.
H, I think I hear it in your apartment sometimes even when your TV isn't on-- and definitely when you're playing CDs on your computer. Easily ignored, but still there. But maybe I have tinitus, too.

Aren't you a librarian? Doesn't "renting" have nothing to do with a library, whereas, "free" should be redundant...

Someone seems to be missing their sense of humor chip.
