		+	194 dB is referring to the scientific scale where 0 dB is silence. The part where it says the maximum output for a phone is 0 dB is in audio engineering dB, where 0 dB is the maximum output of the system and anything above clips. This is incredibly inconsistent, as a noise at 194 science-decibels is not clipping because that is not a thing outside of audio engineering, and a phone's maximum output is not silence. It also annoyed me enough to make an account. [[User:Alex paintwork\|Alex paintwork]] ([[User talk:Alex paintwork\|talk]]) 00:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

 How can he speak of most annoying mosquito sounds and not refer to this?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4k036R3wQE  Some kid in my high school actually had this as his ringtone for awhile.  I'm pretty sure he got jumped (if he didn't, he ought to have been).

	I wonder where the Metal Gear Solid alert sound effect placed? A ringtone that certain people (MGS fans) have unwittingly conditioned themselves to associate with heightened tension and a need to hide would be annoying. That said most of them would only have themselves to blame since MGS fans would be the most likely to have such a ring tone. -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.155\|108.162.250.155]] 00:55, 9 February 2015 (UTC)		I wonder where the Metal Gear Solid alert sound effect placed?

- damn im so having that as my ringtone. i dont care how uncomfortable it makes me. seeing all the others people squirm will be worth it. next up i change my text alert to the sound it makes in some popular game when your health gets low. no wait that would be such an effective alarm clock.

 The "mosquito whine" could also be a reference to the very high-pitched ringtones, often known as "mosquito" tones, that some teenagers so they'll be notified about any phone activity without their schoolteacher realizing they're using a phone in class.

	:Some of the "mosquito tones" are as high as 23 KHz. I'm 65, and I can still hear up to around 17 KHz. Although I've worked in audio most of my life, instead of constantly jacking the monitor speaker up higher and higher so I could "feel the music", I'd put on earphones to protect my hearing from the musicians. They were yelling "Speak up! I can't hear you!" into the telephone by the time they were 25... and then they realized why I always wore cans :-) [[User:Acelightning\|Acelightning]] ([[User talk:Acelightning\|talk]]) 08:56, 24 July 2013 (UTC)		:Some of the "mosquito tones" are as high as 23 KHz.
