Nope. I can't be banned - I wrote the code for the site.

]Have you been banned Achronos?
that is the question that i will set out to prove.
we've all been over this before. someone makes a thread that they can't stand "little 12 year olds" for a bunch of reasons. the more common ones are:
-they never shut up
-i cant stand thier voice
-they are immature
being mature has nothing to do with age, which is proven whenever there is a girl present, it seems those from the range of 15-19+ seem to turn into testosterone ravaging maniacs. so maturity level does not work out. but what about thier voice itself? is thier voice more annoying than someone who has a deep voice?
i believe the answer is yes, and i can prove it.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
-a tone generator. if you dont have one, you can download one for free here.
the experiment:
first we need to find some frequencies of the human voice. to change the frequency, first highlight the number, then go to the "tone" tab, then go down to edit value to enter in a number.
(the average human hearing range is from 20Hz to 20,000Hz)
now where we talk is not quite that far out, but with my ears i found out that i talk at about 120Hz. i am also quite talented (and a little weird, maybe) and i can make a squeak, simmilar to the squeak a rubber duck can make, which after playing around a bit, was somewhere between 3,000 - 5,000 Hz. but after listening to high pitched voices, i think that they fall somewhere between 500 - 1,000 Hz. so go ahead and try these frequencies, preferably with you speakers at a loud volume:
120 Hz
500 Hz
1,000 Hz
3,000 Hz
5,000 Hz
now tell me, which pitches are more unpleasant/annoying to listen to? unless you somehow like the earsplitting high pitched tones, it will prolly be the higher pitched ones that are more unpleasant to listen to.
lets see, what have we come to? little kids talk in higher frequencies and using a tone generator, higher frequencies are more unpleasant. therefore, higher pitched voices are more annoying to listen to.
and here is where the confusion comes in: people who could not tell why they didnt like little kid's voices came up with these bogus maturity level reasons, and have completely clouded the true reason why the higher pitched voices are more annoying.
NOTE: i am not personally attacking little kids, i dont hold anything against them, i am only sharing an unpleasant truth that the little kids will have to live with because they cannot make thier voices any lower
--DISCLAIMER--
i am not responsible for any headaches received from listening to high pitched frequencies
