mosquito noise
High-pitched insect drone
Mosquito noise is the high-pitched whine produced by a mosquito's wings in flight—a sound that signals an insect near your ear in the dark.
The term also describes any similar thin, buzzing tone, particularly the high-frequency sounds used in deterrent devices that exploit younger people's ability to hear pitches older ears cannot: The shop installed a mosquito noise to discourage teenagers from loitering.
