Keep Teenagers off Your Lawn
The "Mosquito" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mosquito) is an electronic sound device used for loitering problems. It emits a high pitch sound that can only be heard by people under the age of about 25, due to our hearing deteriorating after this age. Teenagers responded by using this ability/disability to their advantage, creating ringtones that only they can hear.

Give Women Bigger Breasts
We know that sound can have powerful effects, but Japanese researcher Hideto Tomabechi thinks he has found an excellent practical application for this idea. He believes that not only can sounds affect our minds, but in turn, our minds can affect our bodies. As a result, by fooling your mind into hearing a crying baby, perhaps a woman's breasts will increase in size. So, he set about creating a ringtone with an embedded sound to fool the mind. The results were even better than expected

Now, listening to Mozart has also been linked to improving epilepsy, according to this report from a writer from the Independent, UK. http://www.alternet.org/healthwellness/80544/does_listening_to_mozart_really_have_health_benefits/ Fortunately, rumors that the latest Lady Gaga single can cure swine flu turned out to be unfounded.

Control Minds
A US company is building a microwave ray gun capable of broadcasting sounds directly into someone's brain. The controversial device - dubbed MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) combines loudness and the irritation factor to cause discomfort or even incapacitate people.

Yet the military claim the device could be used to scare away birds from crops, or perhaps to help people with outer ear problems. After testing the device, we're convinced that's exactly what they plan to use it for
