The story of Teen-Only Ringtone

Word spread through the halls that some sounds could only be heard by teenagers. Kids downloaded the tone and tested it everywhere, watching for grown-up reactions. Some teachers really did not notice. Others calmly said put it away without looking up, which ruined the whole legend in one sentence.

Fun fact

Kids tested the tone on their parents at dinner, and every dad claimed he could hear it, though he never could.
