Remember that U.K. ringtone we wrote about a couple of weeks ago? The one that only teens could hear?
Apparently it has crossed the pond and is now surfacing in the U.S. According to the New York Times, the Mosquito ringtone has surfaced at the swanky Trinity School in Manhattan, which we recently heard was the most expensive private high school in the country. Then, in the most backwards move ever, it went from the Upper West Side to Long Island. Wrong way!
Anyway, here’s an MP3 of the ringtone, which we can hear. So either 1) We’re far more youthful than we thought, 2) We have bat-like hearing, or 3) This is a load of, um, we’ll go with “hooey.”
In our humble opinion, they should rename this ringtone “Cranky Compaq Crashes,” because it makes pretty much the same noise as our standard-issue NW craptop just before it’s about to give up the ghost.
