        I’m in my 40s and still can hear that frequency just fine. Probably not as loud.

        One of my least favorite types of thing are those “teenager repellent” devices.

        Also certain induction cooktops.

        I hear the chirping of shoes on televised basketball games. No one believes it until you meet someone else who can hear it too. Some people can just hear higher pitch sounds.

        Edit: and yeah, I can hear when a CRT tv is on.

            I don’t know. I thought everyone could too. Until it turned into an argument at like thanksgiving or something. I don’t watch sports but the rest of my family does.

          The chirping noises from shoes is so annoying. When I watch college basketball it’s with the volume off.

          Most people don’t actually pay attention to their senses - I think the brain happily filters it all it out.

          I think as I’m getting older, I’m either more aware or it’s getting worse

        The whine on larger the TV’s were so damn loud. My neighbor’s had one of those massive beasts of a CRT. I could hear it 100 feet away.

        My first migraines where triggered in the computer lab from 40 CRT monitors being on. It was so loud and annoying.

        I’ve been telling people for a while that I can hear it too. Nice to know I’m not the only one.

        Same. I’m so glad we somehow had cable on these things, because my class watched it happen live, right after wheeling this cart in to watch a history documentary. Lots of other teachers turned it off because tons of kids in my school had parents working in those buildings, but my teacher knew it was an important thing for us to see.

      My teacher in junior high threw on Jerry Maguire briefly because we all remember it as a cute romcom with fun catch phrases. We all forget it starts with Tom Cruise going to pound town.

    I remember when I was 8ish the daycare I went to wheeled out the TV to put in some cartoon so the workers go fuck off and smoke crack or whatever. The cartoon they picked was Water Ship Down. It was wild too because everytime they came Iback to check on us nothing fucked up was going on so we saw the whole movie. A girl said the movie was scary and that was the only feed back they got.
