Generation-specific ringtones

Inventor hopes to hit big time with silent ringtone - Britain - Times Online
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.
