I heard about this on the radio today, thought I'd google it as i wasn't sure whether it was a wind-up.

What about those of us who are under 20 and just want to go into the shop? or walk past without the dog going spastic and running infront of traffic..leading to a huge bill for vets and damage to cars...

sounds like crap to me, like the 'brown noise'

sounds a bit like a police state where any gathering of people not in a fee charging establishment are trouble makers

near me there is a pub beer garden near a park

in the park are notices saying anyone drinking alcohol can be fined

if you pay a bit more for your alcohol in the pub and sit in the beer garden you are ok apparently

ok some kids hanging out on the streets may be up to no good, but i think its good to be outside with friends

when i was a kid, there were always other kids playing outside, now it seems all the parents keep them at home except on the rougher estates

i think people shd stop feeling threatened by groups of boisterous teenagers

All its going to do is displace the anti social youths. What a waste of money. So instead of 'hanging' around the shops where they are clearly visable they will be 'hanging' around alleyways, anywhere else. Its not going to stop the problem at all. It will also create a new crime as the machine that creates the noise is obviously going to get vandalised.

Utter bollocks.. Laughing

theres no reason anyone under 20 would be able to hear any sound frequancys different to any other age (other than somebody with hearing damage), unless for some reason teenagers have the same hearing range as dogs, cats or any other animal..

Anyone stupid enough to believe it deserves to have their £500 taken off them

Believe it or not Mr Z they played it on the radio whilst I was listening to it. I certainly couldn't hear anything but they had a couple of teenagers in the studio who said they could.

Apparently pretty much everybody's hearing degnerates by a minimum amount per year, so once you get to over 20 your hearing is unlikely to pick this sound up and that's what he based his calculations on.

It doesn't make dogs go mental either, the guy who invented it said each time he played it to his dog the dog just pricked his ears up when it started, had a look around then went back to sleep.

So that would also include any small children? allways bloody 6 yearolds causeing argy bargy arround here, bastards..

If its actually true (produceing a sound over a radio wont really mean anything if your radio wont reproduce the frequencys) little shits like this would take it as an excuse to start launching bricks through the window of the shop, so its pretty stupid...

Intersting idea, but they should be dealing with these problems propperly, if they just bugger off to another shop, or outside somebodys house..

Its give me an idea tho (begins designing of burbery ear defenders)

I listened to the same show...Radio 2 huh? First time they played it I heard nothing, second time, i turned it up and heard it. Problem I think is that I'm 24 and heard it, and I work with loud machines on a daily occurence so my hearing, even though i wear ear defenders, will be slightly damaged. I'm hoping that in real life i'd not hear these sounds. They're f'ing awful.

The idea does seem floored.

Another example of how the government can only react to events, never plan for them. I really don't understand why they don't look at the socio-economic reasons behind this kind of 'teenage' behaviour.

Prevention is a word they don't seem to understand (unless it involves the immediate saving money).

They should have paintball gun implacements, if the detector sees a tracksuit or burberry they get shot.

Not my experience of most such teenagers.

Now, it's not like I really get many problems these days - as you've seen me - skin head, a tad under 6ft and fairly well built means I'm not the sort that people tend to target.

However I've seen enough of cases where groups of 14/15 year olds will happily shout at anyone that doesn't look like they'll beat them up too badly for it. Never mind knowing about plenty of cases of people actually being physically abused, robbed, etc.

Maybe it's not the case for your friends, but I'm sure it is the case for plenty of other areas.

Hey Jo,

Heard about this a while ago...

I like the way everyone laughs about it (Like they did when I saw it on TV)... However if someone made a device that'd repel gay/black/blue/pink/purple/furries then there'd be murder.

It was on the Gadget show (with my cousin Susi... Wink

) a few weeks ago.

They played the noise and I could hear it and had to retreat upstairs, and the two old boys who were enjoying the delights of dearest Susi with me couldn't hear a thing.

It's an horrendous noise for the people who can hear it. I imagine it would work. However, for babies and toddlers strapped to their deafening mothers it would be painful.
