Fascinating. Where do we get an MP3 of this sound, I wonder?
I don't know about the cell phone thing, though.
Because hearers of the new noise are virtually unable to resist
turning to face the direction from which it is coming, banks and
shops are evaluating its potential for catching criminals....
The new sound could also rid everyday life of one of its embarrassing
moments, when everyone in a room searches for their mobile phone
when just one rings.
Like, what, it's going to *less* embarassing when *every* person in the
room turns to look at you when your phone rings?

Basically, a tool is an object that enables you to take advantage of the laws
of physics and mechanics in such a way that you can seriously injure yourself.
