      The noise produced by old TVs is Usually high frequencies, not low ones. probably > 17 kHz

        I'm talking about the electricity itself coming from the wall.

        but hey it's normal to hear the hum ;-)

    Yeah that is normal. It's got a lot of static in/on the screen, all of that friction creates a buzz or hum. Sometimes even this high pitched noise deep inside my ear drum. Sometimes its the tv, sometimes its just my ear. Haha. Your normal..

    I get this too. It drive me crazy because my ears are so sensitive. This is the reason I have no clocks in my house.

    It happens especially with older TVs (CRT/Tube Type). You may stop hearing it as your high frequency hearing deteriorates with age, or if you upgrade your TV.
    I can hear it from some other electrical devices too, but usually so soft and constant that I don't normally take notice.

    I do believe that this question was asked here before.

    I hate those pitched up noise... some people don't even recognise that but it really bothers me... only happens on old TVs though! Just buy a Plasma TV =P
