Is this a UK thing. I've definitely heard of this but I dont think I've ever actually heard one.

Right. I’ve heard the tone on mp3 that was going around News Sites when the story broke, so I guess I can hear it, but never have in public...

i would think the mp3 compression would cut those super high frequencies, so what you're probably hearing is a lower frequency which is neither as annoying or as loud as the ones broadcast by these 'mosquitoes' (i think that's what they're called, or maybe they're to control mosquitoes as well...)

Heard lots of this stuff around the states, the most annoying is some installed in trees in parking lots to scare off birds so they don't plop on people's cars. It's so annoying, I'd much rather have poop on my car than hear that constantly. Plus there's still birds around!

There's similar stuff at outdoor restaurants too, like some electronic bird cackling sound. It doesn't seem to work for shit.

They are bird deterrants, mainly for pigeons although they work on seagulls too
