The high pitch noises from so many electronic items. Just as an example HP printers have a high pitch whine from their power supplies. I literally can’t be in the room with them. If more noticed less people would buy the garbage.
Had this problem at highscool, I could tell if the TV mounted in the room ceiling was on even if the screen was black. I had to ask the teachers to turn them off, they’d look at it and say “it is” and then we’d have an argument about not being able to hear anything. Eventually I would prove it by turning away, and having them randomly turn it off and on and I could tell them when it was off vs on.
Very frustrating, but I got old and now I can’t hear shit
I don’t think this is a situation of noticing or not noticing, I’m pretty sure most folks over a certain age literally cannot hear those frequencies. Then there’s the “lucky” ones of us that can still hear every little whine 🙃
My monitor in standby mode emits a slight pitch noise when the power led blinks (why. Why Samsung did you think a blinking led is a good idea for a standby mode???).

CRTs used to drive me nuts. No matter where I was in the house, I could always tell if someone was watching TV
