We just cannot do without ringtones. Can we? The music industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. It might surprise you, but producers and artists prefer releasing ringtones before releasing the songs. Children and teenagers are crazy about ringtones. Today, even a ten-year old child would talk about his favorite ringtone. Mobile phone makers, in fact, do extensive research on the likes and dislikes of children and adolescents, before releasing a new product. Take for example, the iPhone. This product, in spite of its high price, managed to sell millions of units in the US alone. During its early days, ringtones would essentially mean ‘monophonic’ music. Monophonic tones gave way to polyphonic tones. Today, we have real tones (or mp3 ringtones) available for free. Researchers predict that video tones would become incredibly popular in a few years from now.
MP3 ringtones can be downloaded from the Internet. However, medical practitioners believe that the signals (waves) emitted by a mobile phone can generate health-related problems, particularly in children. Is there a solution? The concept of ‘silent ringtones’ is becoming popular these days. These ringtones can only be heard by children- they are inaudible to adults. Scientists believe that with age, the ability to hear high frequency sounds diminishes. Silent ringtones, therefore, can save children from potential hearing problems.
Have you heard of mosquito mp3 ringtones? These ringtones are very popular among children and teenagers. Mosquito mp3 ringtones cannot be heard by people over twenty as these ringtones are too high pitched. These ringtones are increasingly being used in classrooms. Ultrasonic ringtones emit a harmless tone that only children can hear. It is important that we take care of our child’s heath. Exposing children to low-pitched ringtones might result in the birth of ear infections and diseases. The Internet abounds in information related to ringtones for kids. As responsible parents, we should know what’s best for our children.
