Sound and Hearing
... A device has been developed called a ‘Mosquito’ which emits sounds of around 20,000 Hz. This is audible, and potentially quite annoying, for teenagers who may be loitering around the shop, but is not noticeable to older customers. Some human rights groups have claimed that the devices demonise young ...
