I really can’t understand the people that are using this kind of Mosquito Ringtones on their phone. Using a known condition called Presbycusis that manifests itself by not being able to hear higher frequency sounds as you get older, these ringtones are getting more and more exposure. For example, at the age of 18 you will be able to hear sounds of 20-22 khz, but at the age of 30 you will only hear up to 16khz.

This new Teen Buzz has developed pretty fast and now every teenager has at least one type of this ringtone on their phone. They are very happy about them because they can use their phone’s in places where they shouldn’t have. Like schools. Because of their youth they take advantage of older teachers and text message without being noticed when they receive a new sms. I personally dislike the ideea since I am getting older and these tones are very troublesome.

Even if I don’t like them I am going to recommend a  website that offers this kind of tone for free. It’s called Free Mosquito Ringtones and it even has mosquito iphone ringtones. It’s a nice website and a few days ago announced that their ringtone has been downloaded for more that 5 million times. I have to say good for them since they try to give this product for free in mp3, ogg vorbis, and wav formats and supporting their site only from advertising. That is very nice indeed.

The site is created using the popular blog platform : Wordpress and that makes it really easy  to navigate through. Besides the ringtone download page it also has a faq page filled with informations and a how-to page that explains how you can transfer their ringtone using built-in internet access into the phone, a Bluetooth or InfraRed connection or the old fashion data cable. And for those haveing iPhone’s they have a dedicated page with instructions on how to get it and use it.
