That's given me some useful ideas.

They need to learn what UHF is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_high_frequency

If really UHF it will do feck all - if its high frequency sound then maybe, but if you can't hear it do you actually detect it?

The inner ear will feel the vibrations but not actually hear that high a frequency

It can cause imbalance and upset stomach

You can feel it more as an itch on the skin

I thought that was an insect bite.

[davy51]

Spider bite

Shhhhh - not in front of Simon.

Ah OK - but that's only in the KHz.

If they are really talking UHF then we are talking radio waves and that will do feck all to ya.

Except cook you. 

[Simon]

Do they make you go 'Ding!' after three minutes?

[Rik]

More dong in my case.

But we aren't talking microwaves. We are talking metrewaves to cm at 100MHz to say 2GHz.
