That's probably true generally...  :)  I've run into a mouse or two that
seemed rather smarter than the average... ;)

We tried something of the sort at one time... we could hear just enough
to annoy... and it did bother the cats as well, so we decided against
using them.... but it was a while ago, so maybe the tech has improved,
and you'll have better luck than we did...  ;)  And maybe your high
pitch hearing isn't as acute as ours is (or at least was), either...
