High-pitched television sounds: is it normal to hear them?

I hear it it's totally okay Hun!!!

happens to me too execpt I can even hear the whine of an iPod. not the touch screen but the iPod nano and whatnot. I hate it. I've always had supersonic hearing though so I have headaches basically 24/7
T_T"

yea I get that sometimes i also have a thing called tinatus ( spelling?) so I often hear that ringing even when there's no tv or comp on

Sometimes I hear it,mostly when there's a bridge between 2 commercials (when the screen goes black for a secod)

When I was a kid, I'd ask what that whistle was. On a CRT TV or monitor, it's from the flyback transformer. On older TVs, the picture is drawn 30 times a second with 500 lines and it's the flyback circuit's job to draw a line from one side to the other and then fly back to the opposite side of the screen to draw the next line. So it operates at 15,000 cycles (15 kHz--all figures approximate). If you can hear that, you have good hearing. As your hearing goes, your upper limit gets lower. Take care of your hearing. Loud machinery, music and gunfire are the worst. Earlier generations had manual typewriters and pipe organs and I know a woman who lost her hearing to them. Ear buds are taking this generation's hearing, though. If you don't protect it, you never get it back.

Normal, older CRT TVs (and older CRT computer monitors) produce high frequency sounds. Most people don't hear it but it is normal if you do.

yeah, even from the other room!!it bugs me sometimes...

Yeah, it's damn annoying isnt it..

i hear it sometimes

I hear it. Its very annoying.

The sound you hear comes from picture tube of your tv. I guess you are around 20 yrs to be able 2 hear it and get annoyed. Older people usually cannot hear it (When its a new tv).
Its because As ones age increases, he/she loses the hearing capacity and cannot hear sounds from a high frequency. Thus it may be possible that your parents cannot hear it.

The headache is also normal because of that. If you are in a trouble, let the mechanic know about it or switch to a LCD or CRT tv. they dont create such sounds.

basically all electronic devices emit SOME sort of high pitched noise. I hear my TV and computer all the time.

Yeah, I hear those too. Right now I can hear the whine of my laptop (newer, lcd screen) loud and clear.
It's good to know that other people can also hear iPods and smaller electronic devices too, although I must say I'm glad that I don't get headaches from those.
