    I used to be able to tell if a TV was on or not. I can’t really explain it, but it was like I could vaguely hear/feel it? I don’t know, I was a kid. My grandma would play her games without sound sometimes so she wouldn’t wake people up (and probably to play without a kid hanging off of her), but I evolved to counter it. 😂

      CRT TV’s emit a high frequency noise while in operation. Apparently there must be a significant number of people who can’t hear frequencies that high. My wife can’t hear it and had no idea those TV’s made any noise at all.
