Many companies offer free download of mosquito ringtones. On websites of such companies, one has to go to the Mosquito Ringtone option and click on each of the tones for hearing. This way each mosquito ringtone can be checked as to its audibility. The tone that is most clearly audible needs to be selected.

The chosen mosquito ringtone then has to be right clicked and ‘Save Target As’ or ‘Save Link As’ to be selected depending on whether Netscape/IE or Firefox is used. Thereafter ‘OK’ button is to be clicked in the dialogue window that comes next and that makes the mosquito ringtone chosen to be downloaded to the computer.

Cellphone ringtones of high frequency when most adults cannot hear it is called the mosquito ringtone or zumbitone or simply teen buzz ringtone. For example, use of cellphone is not permitted in a classroom. A student by using mosquito ringtone in his or her cellphone can furtively know about a call or a message received in the cellphone without the teacher’s knowledge. In fact to the adult teacher the mosquito ringtone is not audible.

The technology of mosquito ringtone is sourced from the ‘mosquito device’ developed by Howard Stapleton primarily to drive away the teenagers who hang around the shops in UK. The device that Stapleton developed for Compound Security Systems emitted a sound called ‘teen buzz’ that caused a great deal of annoyance to the teenagers or younger people. However people past the age of teenagers remained largely unaffected by this modulated 17 kHz sound.
