The branch of McDonalds in my local city (Derby) keeps that ghastly noise on nigh-on constantly. In fact, I've never noticed it turned off- don't give me that condescending "It's not meant to be used like that!" rubbish- the fact remains that it is.
Not all teenagers are the thugs you appear to be describing- I'd say that it's unfair to punish the majority in response to the actions of a few idiots. And the sound is insanely annoying.
