Generation-specific ringtones
Update: The "inventor" of this ringtone is using it against teens via his Mosquito product. Interesting that the exact same tone can be used both ways. If it fights off young people from shops etc, what about dogs then?

Ringtones that only younger people can hear seems to be the current craze. Understandably, if you can hear message notifications without your teachers or parents hearing them, you can stay up-to-date in the class room or at the dinner table without getting caught, and you can feel a bit rebellious at the same time.
I'm clearly not in the demographic anymore but I could hear this ringtone loud and clear at a reasonably high volume.
