It wouldn't surprise me if hearing them were an age related thing. Have you heard about the sound thing going around and how people under a certain age can hear it and people over a certain age can't. Something about the police using it as a deterrent for kids loitering and staying out past curfew? I was listening to a radio station at the time and they were talking about it and they played it over the air. I couldn't hear a thing. I've thought about trying to see if my son can hear it since he is only 21 but I haven't yet. As for the bats, I don't know if I can hear them or not. I doubt I could.

When I was young I could hear them. I'm old now LOL

I thought it might be because of my youthful ears. I’ll treasure the chirps while I can.

Only curious because my younger brothers and a friend of mine insisted they couldn’t hear anything.

Bleh. Yes. Some classmates would use that frequency as a ringtone in highschool. I HATE that noise.

I think I might have better than average hearing.. sometimes dog whistles give me a headache. Or maybe I’m just crazy. Hubby thinks the latter.

I'm almost 37 and I can hear bats. I hear them like crazy. I love them. I can hear all those horrible high pitched sounds, though. Electronics buzzing, etc. I think I have decent hearing, but nothing to write home about.

Yes! I’m not crazy!!
I can hear janky phone chargers buzzing away, the refrigerator capacitor whirring, old TV screens left on, the obnoxious frequency of a song recorded with a mediocre microphone...
Sometimes it feels like the worst superpower in the world.

It's pretty terrible. The only time there is true silence is when the power goes out.

No.. then I have to listen to Theia sing the song of her people.
Power outage = end of the world.
