#118705 - Don't do that!

Would it be feasable to have a higher pitched device fill the room with, say, 19-20 kHz sound that no one can hear.

That is a very bad idea: I'm sure there are plenty of people (especially the young ones) who could hear that, or at least sufficiently "sense" it to be annoying or even harmful.
And think of the effect on all the dogs in the area...

However, it would be easy enough to build a detector that would give some indication of the presence of any signal over a certain frequency - just a microphone and high-pass filter, really!

But what's the point?
If the high-pitched ringtones are detected, the students will just switch their phones to vibrate (silent) instead... :-(
