Sounds Good to Me

15kHz

15kHz (Fifteen kilohertz) - that’s the threshold, the line that commonly draws itself between the younger generation and the older men and women of yesteryear.  15kHz is a very high frequency which, as people age, becomes undetectable.  Teenagers use it for their cellphones as a sort of stealth ringtone in the classroom (See: Mosquito Ringtone).  Mall outlets use it to deter younger people from loitering outside their stores.  I use it to make sure that I haven’t gone completely deaf yet.  I need my ears.  For you who insist on blaring your tunes through your earbuds so everyone in the room can witness your poor taste in music, consider this.
