Did you know that kids and teens can hear sound frequencies that adults can't?

For instance, a 17,000 Hz sound frequency would be barely noticeable or completely imperceptible to most adults but easily heard by children.

SonicBuzz is a patents-pending Extension that utilizes this age-driven difference in hearing ability to deter kids from viewing off-limits movie content.

Here's how it works: Parents select movies that they wish to allow (e.g. all G-rated movies). SonicBuzz plays a high-frequency sound alongside movie content that is restricted.

The effect is stunning! Kids and teens hear disruptive buzzing throughout a restricted movie while adults can watch the very same movie without ever hearing a single buzz.

SonicBuzz currently supports Netflix.

We are in beta mode and would greatly appreciate feedback: info At jammrlabs.com.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SonicBuzz requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

SonicBuzz may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
