:Wouldn't it be rather a question of your sound equipment if you can achieve 194dB? --[[User:Chtz|Chtz]] ([[User talk:Chtz|talk]]) 17:10, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

:But the WAV format can be used to store floating point, which has a high dynamic range making it possible. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.102.41|162.158.102.41]] 14:56, 12 April 2022 (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).

: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. {{unsigned ip|108.162.237.190}}
 
  
 
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. Supposedly, "older" people (over 25 or so) can't hear such high frequencies. [[User:Acelightning|Acelightning]] ([[User talk:Acelightning|talk]]) 08:14, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

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 still think my friend is more annoying than any of those ringtones.
 
 
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)
