I don't know the range of the internal speaker, but you can test it 
yourself using linux: beep -f 14000 for 14Khz, and it will make efforts 
up to 20Khz.

seems to have a suitable mp3. Funnily enough, I can hear it fine -- and 
I'm well beyond teenagerdom. Could he use that instead, through the main 
speakers?
