It's an annoying, grate-your-teeth high pitched sound. If I heard it in a store, I'd want to leave, too. Hah, take that kids. Now, I'm not sure I'd hear it if I were talking in a busy classroom, but the headache would be a sign.

PS I checked with three other people in my office. Of them, three of us could hear it, and we're all over 30. The one who couldn't is a junior in college. :) But she apparently listens to music a lot with headphones, so she may have some damage to her upper range of hearing. We had to turn it all the way up for her to hear anything.
