Huh, so that's why my grandma can't hear that annoying high pitched noise coming from the old tv... |
Old televisions have allways annoyed me with their high pitched noises |
Well that is sad |
i didnt recognize that high pitched ringing at the end as morse code i recognized it as painful |
did I just get rick rolled by morse code? |
Welcome to getting old buddy. LMAO!!! It's not as bad as you might think. You can't hear the alarms now but think of how much more educated and knowledgeable you are now than you were back then. |
This is also the same reason you can easily hear if an electric motor is running of a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) The switching action of the power transistors in the VFD drive makes a high pitched whining sound from the motor as it causes the windings to vibrate at the switching frequency just as they do in the tv tube. |
whats the sound in bcgrund?!?!?!?!? |
Those TV sets didn't just make audio at that frequency, they blasted it out on the radio waves as well with harmonics going all through the LF and VLF bands. It's much quieter there now with most of the CRT sets gone.,(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. |
I’m 16 and I can’t hear many high pitched frequencies |
I'm 38 and still heard the high pitched noise the video exited with. Anyone else? |
60 and love this stuff. Got an app that tells me whether that high pitched sound is in my head or not. It's just a frequency display app for a phone, but it's been nice to see what sounds are around that I'm not sure about.,(reply>), What is the app? I want it,(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.

When I was a kid, I could always tell when a TV was on somewhere nearby. I imagine, in hindsight, that I was hearing very high frequency sounds, but it always seemed like more of something that I just felt. Admittedly, it felt like a useless superpower that I prided myself on. My peers couldn't perceive it, but I could.<br><br>That was around 15 years ago now. That perception of mine hasn't cropped up in some time, and I've recognized for a while that it's due to the fall of the CRT screens. Can't help but to wonder if I still have said ability, though.<br><br>Not much I can do. CRTs are few and far between now, and access to a scenario which can properly test my CRT perception 'skill' is fairly limited. |
Lmao 😂😂😂 at the end of the video he put high annoying frequency noises 😂😂😂😂 |
The morse code is ringing in my ear now. I'm continuously getting RickRolled.,(reply>), shutup trevor chan,(reply>), @Benjamin Dellah It is added to the list of things that I want to learn.,(reply>), Me too, ahhhhh,(reply>), Weirdo4Life during the end card,(reply>), @Aelvir at what time? |
When a flyback xformer failed, they were extremely loud for a brief time. Then, they emitted a strong electrostench. |
Wow, I guess my hearing is really bad, not only did I not hear the high pitched sound but I didn't hear the morse code either. |
I used to yell at the teachers to turn off the TVs when they were in standby mode because of that whine. They couldn't hear it, and either my classmates often couldn't or they had grown used to it. <br><br>I'm in my late thirties now and that last 10 seconds was painful. So that's reassuring....,(reply>), mod prime Wear hearing protection and you’ll do much better than others in preserving your hearing. |
I'm about 3 years younger than you and I've also always prided myself on my hearing and ability to pick up high pitched noise. Even as a kid and a teenager I noticed sounds my peers didn't, often to my own agony as they are unwelcome sounds. I still hear sounds others my age don't (office halogen tube lighting ruins me) but I know I won't have that "ability" forever. So I sympathize very very much with your fear, Tom.,(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.

I'm turning 30 next month and can still hear it. Yay me! |
Hi Tom. I love your videos because I'm a massive geek too (I'm a professional structural engineer). Do you have a good photo of the roof trusses in the lab you filmed thus video in? From what I could glimpse they look a bit dodgy, and its like to satisfy my curiosity. I can explain my worries it'd you'd like; you might even find them interesting ☺ |
i like the little beep at the end on the 17k hertz. |
My mum has one of those annoying neighbours who thinks all kids are the devil. When I used to live with my mum I couldn't stand being in the back garden because my ears would be constantly ringing with 'this sound' which was relatively unheard of back then, but well known amongst the 'NIMY's' of the time. I feel almost nostalgic, yet disgruntled, because I can go into my mum's back garden when I visit home, without hearing that sound now at the age of 26, yet my baby sister at the age of 12 can't play in our back garden without having headaches. |
Aww, dude that makes me sad. I'm starting to suffer the same fate. Since about 25 I've been slowly going deaf in my right ear. |
ughhh the sound at the end |
is it a good sign that i was able to hear that beeping in the outro card? |
Yea okay i van hear the noice at the end of the video you can stop now |
Never gonna give you up |
please.... that at the end was very painfull to listen to |
How old is he then? Cause he really doesn't look that old at all |
At what frequency was that morse code at the end? |
Meanwhile, it's 2017, and my tv still makes that sound. We should get a newer tv, shouldn't we? |
so basically you won't need to listen to mp3s higher than 128kbps since the encoders put a LP filter at 15.8 KHz when encoding in 128 kbps |
All you kids whining about that noise, just imagine if every video display on the planet made that noise. You don't even know.,(reply>), ok boomer,(reply>), I think it's just annoying because of the volume relative to other sources in the video.,(reply>), ok boomer,(reply>), Ok boomer,(reply>), On the upside, you always knew when a TV was on in the area, even if it was muted. On the downside, electronics stores couldn't be as quiet, because they'd need to have the TVs unmuted to drown out the noise. |
No one on Earth is Older than me I am a thousand years old. So don't feel old +Tom Scott |
I wonder what the Morse code says |
Tom's old, it's official |
Was that morse code at the end of the video? |
That noise at the end was painful for me just through my phone speaker, but I'll concede and say well done on the rick roll 😂 |
Tom, nice self admitting vlog, but don't be afraid of getting older...! I was thinking about this today, why live till you're 80 or 90 with perfect hearing and vision...? Why not use it while you're here? Go to a rock concert...and so on...why being buried with a perfect hearing? You can't use it THEN! A little like a formula1 car, why built the engine one gram too heavy, in theory it should last only to cross the finish line...! Only kidding, Just a thought...of course I wear ear protection...😁😉 |
When we had TVs in classrooms at school I would complain to the teacher to turn them off standby because it was whining and everyone thought I was crazy because I seemed to be the only person who could here it. |
Try tinitus.<br><br>It's on <b>every</b> video.,(reply>), @Massimo O'Kissed My Tinnitus is 13,500 hz 24/7. Is your Tinnitus chronic too? Does it bother you anymore? Take care,(reply>), @baseballlive77 I once crudely measured it myself, using an oscilloscope and a freq gen until the pitch sounded the same, and it was about 8kHz.,(reply>), You have Tinnitus too? What frequency?,(reply>), Same here buddy.,(reply>), @E. Cure? This is typically just the smaller hairs in the cochlea that detect those higher frequencies breaking with age and entropy; what you want is a reconstructive procedure to reverse the normal decrepitude of your sensory organ, just to be clear. |
Why was there a high-pitched noise making a melody in the background of the outro?<br><br>EDIT: Ohh, ya Rick rolled me |
I've been wondering this for years |
I missed the morse code and was sad. Then I put on my good earphones and it came through plenty clear. |
Story time, Once I was at a concert hall with school, and the speakers were emitting a tone that hurt our ears. The adults didn't notice it >:( |
The end screwed with me |
Interesting fact: Tom is 39 years old, almost 40 old buddy!,(reply>), What? No. No way. Really?,(reply>), <i>things you might not know</i>,(reply>), MegaGFilms No he's not, he's 33. |
Thanks for that blast of bat screams at the end. oh god. |
"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&t=4m00s"">4:00</a> OH MY EARS OH GOD WHY" |
so you play a super high pitched sound at the end ear warning please,(reply>), Its high pitched, but quiet enough to not be annoying. Its not like its super loud, its just high pitched. |
Thanks for such a great, heartfelt video. I have a hearing loss myself, severe enough to require a cochlear implant in my left ear, and I am totally deaf in my right ear. My cochlear implant can only process sound up to about 9,000-10,000 Hz, so I totally missed the Morse code at the end.<br><br>I also want to express my deepest appreciation for the subtitles for each and every video you made in the last few years. Without them, I would have been totally lost, especially considering the fact that you have an accent. Understanding American accents is difficult enough for me without subtitles. Understanding foreign accents without subtitles is nigh on impossible for me, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you. |
Gotta love those high pitches noises at the very end |
Thank you for the high pitched sound at the end of the video <3 |
Muy bueno! |
ᴴᶦᵍʰ ᴾᶦᵗᶜʰᵉᵈ |
That noise in the end hurts,(reply>), @Denito Oo.O wow,(reply>), @rhandhom1 either u need some hearing aid or u need to by better headphones,(reply>), @rhandhom1 u need hewring aid bro,(reply>), Its not noise its mourse cose at some 15kHz or higher frequency it says "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP",(reply>), I didn't notice it until it was mentioned. Now I'm listening for it I can just about pick it up. I'm 35, by the way. |
It seems to me that electronics in general are still putting out a very high-pitched whine. Not just the old monitors.,(reply>), You might have Tinnitus, you should get that checked. |
Awwwwwwwwwwww omfg you poor puddin |
57 now... I know what you mean... people say, "did you hear that noise?" I'm like... <br>"what noise?" |
So you end the video with high pitched morse? |
I could hear flybacks clear as day until I was about 25. I'm 30 now, and I can barely notice the final 10 seconds of this video. Getting old is not easy. |
It's not fun getting old. |
Did you put those notices at the end on purpose becouse they are irritating my ears |
That got serious right at the end |
Thanks for that BRILLIANT sound at the end. |
My parents used to tell me I was hearing things... |
the feels... |
That made me somewhat emotional :< |
On the back of this perhaps you could do an explanation of how an Audiologist conducts a hearing test and what the audiogram results refer to. ie. noise of a jet taking off, road drill, etc.<br>And if you want to 'bore' people, temporary threshold shift is interesting topic that a most don't realise effects them, especially after a good night out at a club. |
Wait, how old is your audience?? I was born in 1995 and I knew exactly what those sound was... |
Really?...You were actually angry?...Interesting. |
Bruh.... that got deep fast... |
BOOOOOOORRRIINNNNG! |
Can anyone provide those mosquito alarm links preferably here on youtube? |
For a second, I thought this was a ᴹᴱᴹᴱ |
"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&t=1m52s"">1:52</a> Close", but it should be 525×29.97=15 734.25Hz. Regardless, it's an understandable simplification. |
OUCH THE END HURTS |
How do you translate the morse code at the end?,(reply>), Youssef Mousa listen to it? Learn how to read it |
and the winner for best youtube video title is... |
I had that same experience with a mouse scarer. One year I could hear it (and it REALLY annoyed me) - when I returned the next year I couldn't hear it at all. That makes me more sad and scared than lines on my face or finding grey hairs. |
Those Mosquito alarm things are called H.O.R.N.E.Ts (maybe that's just an Irish name though) |
Why am I almost distraught and close to tears after watching a science video about old tv screens? |
yep I could hear that at the end... :L |
I can hear sounds as low frequency as 14 or 15Hz for some reason. |
MY EARS!!! AAAA I CSN STILL HEAR THE SOUNDS AFTER THE VIDEO!!! |
Was there an Amiga in that room? I thought I glimpsed one but I'm not sure. |
Anyone else here heard the high pitched sound the last few seconds of this video |
"the expression at <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&t=3m22s"">3:22</a> reminds me of the song "TT" by Twice xDD" |
I heard some high pitched sounds at the very end of this video. Did anyone else hear it? |
That Morse code at the end hurt my ears. |
Just in case you're looking for it like me, that zoom in Adobe Audition was made with right click. |
Don't worry +Tom Scott it's human nature that hearing gets less better, I myself am experiencing that. Keep making awesome videos =) |
After watching this I noticed my one flat screen monitors, is making a really low volume high pitched noise<br><br>but it's not the screen, it's the shitty inbuilt speakers it has that are making that high pitched noise. Could we get a video on why shitty speakers make a high pitched noise too? |
:( I too used to pride myself on my ability to hear frequencies outside of the alleged range of audibility. I turned 28 two days after you posted this video, and I share your sentiment. |
how old are this folk? |
Ahhh!!!!!! The end of the video is awful! The comments say it's a Rick Roll...I'd say even worse but I like that song. |
Please don't make this great video fell so sad. Age doesn't limit you from making more and more great video. @Tom Scott |
I should have known that this audience would immediately translate the morse code for me. Love you guys. |
I'm in my 30s and very clearly hear a morse code in high pitch at the end of the video, but I didn't take the time to decode it. I just noticed other comments showing what it is decoded. |
