“Mosquito” Swarm To Hit City

A new type of security device emitting a high-frequency sound is creating a buzz around town. This “Mosquito” irritates people between the ages of 13-25 with high-pitched decibels. The sound is so annoying that it chases most kids away from the immediate vicinity. Yet, it’s unheard by nearly everyone else! Has something to do with how our hearing changes as we age. Did you hear that??? It's already big in England (at least with property owners). Now, it’s being installed in more and more NYC buildings to chase youths from building lobbies and hanging outside of stores. Sounds like a good idea, just so long as it’s been properly tested and won't cause any long-term harm.
