    I believe that I've heard on public radio court cases challenging the use of this.

    Not only can I hear those, my husband who is almost 70 can hear them. Who can hear them depends on how much hearing loss you've had which doesn't always come with age. My mother-in-law had the hearing of a teenager at age 93! I know young people who have already fried their hearing on loud music. You just never know. I used to "hear" a particular type of cash register that was so loud I'd get a headache. No one believed me & thought I was being a drama queen when I refused to stay in stores that used them. I'd bet most middle aged piano tuners can still hear tube-type TV's turn on & off from 2 rooms away. LOL!

    PS - When I first responded, I hadn't actually listened to it yet. I had heard them elsewhere & knew I could hear them. I just listened to it. That is nasty & would definitely keep me out of the park!!! LOL!
