Is that Morse code at the end (over the credits)? I'm 48 years old so I had to actually put my iPad within 2 feet of my ear to hear it clearly, but perhaps some younger viewers who know Morse can tell us the hidden message? |
I have the strongest urge to hug you right now.,(reply>), after that end i do not,(reply>), same,(reply>), Same,(reply>), same,(reply>), Me too |
Instead of demonizing videos YouTube should age restrict them with high pitched noise |
That 64 microsecond heartbeat - which in the days of analogue TV was atomically derived - is the clue to how portable TV Detectors used to work. |
Don't be so hard on yourself Tom |
You HAd to add that High pich morse code at the end |
how old r u |
In an age when your display screamed at you and the air everywhere was filled with smoke. Also, pastels.<br>Pure. Hell. |
Well, that took a turn...<br>Much hugs! |
"He left a Morse code message at the end of the vid in a high picked frequency at <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&t=4m08s"">4:08</a>" |
who remembers when you could tell if someone left the tv on the moment you walked into the house?,(reply>), And switching power supplies! OMG they drive me crazy sometimes! (Nowadays we're surrounded by them, so even though I still hear them, they just mesh in the "background noise" so I don't notice it on a day-to-day basis. But there's always a reaaly LOUD one smh :/ ),(reply>), @Mad and Balding litterarly like less than 50% of people wathcing this video mate,(reply>), everyone. they didnt stop making tvs with speakers.,(reply>), me,(reply>), I can still tell now, even with my fancy flat screen! Actually, I can generally tell if anything is on, like an alarm clock or a wireless charger. I kid you not, they all make a certain noise and I can distinctly hear them. They actually keep me up at night sometimes! |
I love the beep sound in the end XD. You had to add that in didn't you. |
At 25 years old I still hear this high pitched noise but it only seemed to plague aging, old, or cold CRT's. Some monitors I noticed just need a gentle tap on the side to stop the whine. Though its not as much of a bother that I can't get use to it after some usage. I mean I had to get use to it as a kid (wasn't until 2011 I got a 21 inch LCD monitor to replace my 17 inch samsung CRT) |
took a real dark turn |
I don’t know why but that noise drives me insane, I can’t even use old TVs and monitors because it bothers me so much |
How poinoiegt |
that noise in the end was so annoying! How high was it? 16kHz? |
Tom’s having an existential crisis. |
Everyone's talking about morse code during the endcard. I can't hear it at all. I'm 19. Rip. |
That noise at the end ARHHHH OUCH,(reply>), its mose code for: never gonna give you up,(reply>), Just be patient, the solution is on its way... |
I feel like Tom was hiding sad feels when he started talking about age and hearing... :(,(reply>), I think so too, it's sad to see :( |
What's with the Morse-code like sounds at the end |
what was that noise at the end was it morse code .O. |
EXACTLY I KEEP TELLING MY MOM I WANNNA BUY HER A NEW TV BECAUSE THE WHITE NOISE KEEPS ME UP |
Years ago, I work in a TV master control which was filled with monitors emitting that very annoying flyback squeal. Many of my colleagues count not hear it. Now, the engineers could come by and work their magic and suppress that hideous noise. Often they were annoyed because they were not able to hear it. At my age now I do not know if I could still hear it. Interesting. |
<3 |
15000 Hertz is waaaay high up there, Im a 20 year old sound design student and thats more or less around where my hearing cuts off. Losing tones that high actually isnt so bad in the meantime since its almost entirely gonna be electronic noise, but it certainly makes you worry about losing more important bands of frequencies later on in your life. |
Welcome to the universe of "getting older" it often sneaks up on you to pop up when you least expect it. |
I'm proud to say that I'm 20 and those high pitched noises you injected to the outro card are still fully audible.<br><br>... Aaand I just noticed that it's morse code from the comments... |
So I just watched a whole video on coil whine? Well ok. |
WTF? I used to hear these high pitched sounds until just recently and I couldn't hear the sound at the end... I do have CRT-like noise in my ears, please don't tell me I'm getting tinnitus now.<br><br>36 years young.,(reply>), Okay, I'm good. Could hear it fine when I put my phone's speaker next to my ea-- wait, I can't hear low sounds now?? |
why isnt this a thing aleady?<br>i'm gonna produce videos ALWAYS with high pitched noise, so I can mae sure the people watching my videos met the appropriate age |
i will never give up myself.<br>thank you |
that last 10 seconds made my ears ring damn you tom |
I had a feeling "I can't hear it anymore" was going to come into play at some point. I was shocked at how sad he managed to make me about it, though… |
AAAHHHH THE HIGH PITCHED NOISE AT THE END, HOW DARE YOU TOM XD |
i was always be able to tell if we were watching something in class before i waled in, because i could hear this noise. |
Iz dat some morse cord? |
I heard the noise at the end of the vid and it hurt my ears but least i learned something |
Here before 1 mil |
I'm glad at 35 y/o I can still hear electron cannons in CRT monitors. I am equally glad that CRT monitors are largely out, because that sound always distracts me to no end. |
I’m 36 and I could plainly (and painfully) hear the end card Morse code. Guess I’m not as old as I think. |
I paused the video at the end card because Tom sneakily put that high pitched screech in the end card!!! |
You referenced Spider Robinson, yeah you're getting old. 😁<br><br>But I knew who you were talking about so I'm old too! Spider Robinson is the best! 🤣🤣 |
I'm 16 and have severe tinnitus because of ear infections when I was a baby and it pains me to be able to hear the "Music" coming from people's headphones above everything else even after I've warned them about what it'll do to their hearing. I have to live the rest of my life with a never-ending ringing so loud I can barely even hear someone speaking to me in a silent room and reduced bass and high notes with no chance of fixing it and no one listens. |
Welp... there's another existential crisis. |
That PET with the jumpy characters needs new voltage regulators ... I've seen 2 machines fail there already ;) |
Tom<br><br>This "i" looks better than the one in the title:<br><br>ⁱ<br><br>Amirite lads or amirite |
Even in a video with such a bleak ending, this guy puts a smile on my face!<br><br>I haven't known your channel for long, but I absolutely love it! The information given, the way its presented, and the charming character you bring to the videos and the subject, LOVE IT! Keep up the good... no, the GREAT! job you've been doing! |
I used to complain about it when I was growing up. My mom insisted it didn't exist. I still hear it from time to time, but find slapping (or just moving) the T.V. stops it. |
OW That morse code.... |
I went to a Death Grips concert and I wore high fidelity earplugs in order to protect my ears |
This video made you very <b>angery</b> whopper |
I can still kinda hear it a little. |
My wife and I were watching this video together and it took her a while to realise why I was angry at you at the end of the video. |
Interesting. If I increase the air pressure in my ears (hold nose, blow outwards a tiny bit), I can hear the morse code at the end, but if I leave them at 1 atmo I can't. Also, I just realised that my natural tinnitus is at exact that frequency. >.< |
NEVER GONNAGIVE YOU UP |
Nice noise at the end. |
the morse code at the end is way too strong... |
the beeping at the end startled me, but at least I now know that working in a UPS hub hasn't yet killed my high range hearing. still hurt though, just like the pest control beeper in the Paris catacombs. |
sad to HEAR that XD and I can hear it at the end |
That noise at the end drove me insane! What frequency was that? |
I am 70. My upper limit is now 9000Hz. My hifi stereo system still sounds the same. I guess my brain is filling in the missing frequencies.,(reply>), Well then you probably didn’t hear the high pitch in the end. It was morse code that said “Never gonna give you up”. At least you’re immuned to high pitched rickrolls, so I guess that’s your silver lining?,(reply>), geocarey That is absolutely true. Your mind compensates for shortcomings in all your senses. It does this in a way you cannot discern.,(reply>), If you can't hear the morse code at the end card, put a portable AM radio tuned to around 530 KHz up to your computer's speakers. You can clearly hear it thru the AM radio. Turn up your computer's volume to max.,(reply>), As you age, your brain starts to make symbolic shortcuts. You think you see or hear something, but more and more of it is memories.,(reply>), Most likely you just lost your hearing so slowly that you forgot what those frequencies sound like. My freinds grandpa has a really good home theater and hifi system in his basement that we use whenever we hang out there, and its kinda disappointing because the calibration and speaker placement is really messed up because his grandpa can't hear well enough to realize that it sounds like garbage due to the way its set up. Its all pretty decent equipment, its just setup wrong.<br><br>One time we played an old cassette in it, and I could hear the azimuth was completly off. I fixed it, and his grandpa couldn't hear the difference, while my friend was shocked that cassettes can actually sound really good with nothing but a quickly done by ear calibration. |
Sorry to hear that you are feeling that your senses are beginning to fail. You've already left a positive mark on many people, for whatever that's worth. You may be growing older, but you have not failed to make an impact. |
The day I can't hear these high pitch frequencies anymore is gonna be a very sad one for me. |
I work close to the Cambridge Centre for Computing History, and nearly popped in- until I saw a large empty coach and a depressed driver outside. "School party?" "Yup". Another time, then; there are some noises I don't want to gamble with... |
I couldn't even hear the high pitched noise in the end card whatever I just felt it in my throat bc I'm listening at high volume through headphones |
Still can hear it in the end of the video so I guess I'm still good on my hearing? |
This video got real deep real quick |
I can't find the original video :( |
"Gee maybe I should take one of those hearing tests" <b>high pitched morse code plays at the end</b> "Nevermind!" |
Subtle tom, subtle. Well done |
Getting older eh? If the hearing loss was a big downer, you're in for some real shocks to come, ma boi. |
The end credits killed my ears |
Ha, thnx for the last second hearing test! <3 i heard the extreme high pitch sound last,, 5? seconds (27y/o) |
Came here for good info and left with a depressing idea to forever ponder about through my whole day. |
My computer's audio output is going into 10 band BSR equalizer from 1973 so getting rid of that high pitch noise is as easy as flicking the 16kHz LED slider switches down. |
Don't worry that you get older, you get smarter as well :) |
What does the high pitch Morse code spell out at the end of the video? |
Was that high frequency Morse Code at the end of the video?? |
I haven't been able to hear high frequencies since i was fourteen :( |
The BBC is very bad at this, lots of their studio content has the CRT frequency coming through, they should be removing it! |
I always complained as a kid about the loud noise which made my head really hurt. My parents never understood what I meant; it was often louder than the TVs audio itself, super annoying.While I could hear the peep at the end of the video I wonder if I will ever not hear my tinnitus as I age, which is at 18+ kHz? |
i'm 20 and i'm not proud to admit i had to turn my headphones up a bit to hear the distinct pattern those beeps were making.<br>unfortunately, my tinnitus now plays in morse code. |
That was oddly moving. Listening to your videos reminds me of my student days... which were quite some time ago. Keep up the good work! Your audience is aging with you!! |
This video went from educational to Tom having a crisis real quick. |
Curse you for putting that high pitched rock roll at the end. My ears. |
OUCH! THE FRICKEN HIGH PITCHED MORSE CODE at the end pained me soon bad...<br><br>I'm using beats headphone on almost full volume. |
I had to turn the volume up really high to hear the end bit, but only after being told.<br><br>I could hear it, but not very clearly.<br><br>I'm still a teenager, is that bad? |
Im 17 and I can't hear above 16khz because I listened to a lot of Green Day when I was in my preteens really really loud. My friends can hear the 18khz mosquito alarms but I can't at all |
i was a bit sad, as i am 31 and could not initially hear the code at the end...until i turned up the volume a bit. So thats good, my vision on the other hand.... |
For some reason, high pitched noises make me very anxious and I turn off the audio as soon as I hear them |
Your videos blow my mind when I'm high |
Have heard that we who grew up with crt tv's have developed a "blindness" at just that frequency. Tried this with a tonegenerator on the internet, and at that rate, I did not hear any sound. Could hear notes that were slightly higher and slightly lower on frequency. |
Thanks for ruining my ear drums with the end scene |
I can hear that 😎 |
Tom Scott, your daily dose of fun and sciensy stuffs... and THE FEELS |
My tv does that, I want to murder it |
Haha, I heard high frequency beeping at the end and realized it was Morse code. When I translated it I realized that I had been Rick rolled. |
Why that high sound at the end |
