i'm 13 and i can't hear the end card.
just thinking about high pitched noises make me hear high pitched noises, don't think it's tinnitus though, hopefully not at least
I wish I knew Morse code, because it sounds like there was Morse code at the end somewhere above 10kHz
I love how the morse code at the end spells "YELLOW SNOW TASTES FUNNY",(reply>), @Mank r/woooosh,(reply>), Tom himself said it spells "Never Gonna Give You Up"
Tom, don't worry, hearing is for chumps anyways
I have a CRT tv in my room and a spectrogram on my phone, I tested it and yes, it is about 15 and a half kilohertz. I also used it to find the source an 18 kHz droning noise that bugs many of the students at my high school when they use the restroom.
Not the mosquito alarms!!! Nooooo!
I love you Tom scott

Anyone has the link to last week's video Tom is talking about?
My old CRT tv makes that noise and it drives me insane
I don’t know if it is me going crazy because of all the hands I cut off, Or your really did do it but you look like Karl Van Beethoven in The genius of Beethoven
Old video, but I will put a comment on it anyway :<br>They use high pitch sound to keep kids away from the shops in malls and adults can't hear that sound
Didn't know I'll get some existential crisis today
So if I want to make a video that I don't want teens to watch, all I have to do is put a loud high-pitched frequency as constant background noise?
Got damm that noise in the outro scared my cat away
is the last part of the video morse?
Was that morse code at the end or just beeps
I'm not even 20. I can't hear past 14500 Hz. Let me just hope this is because my headphones don't go that high.
I am 35 and I did not hear a bit of that noise.
how old are you Tom Scott?
My neighbor has some kinda anti animal alarm that makes such a noise every 5 seconds<br><br><br>i sit in the corner of my room crying because of that noise<br><br><br>Nobody can hear it except of me i want to die
Did anyone hear the beeping right at the end?
Us 90's kids are deaf to this noise ;)<br>Take care; )
I’m actually in tears
my guesses the old screens make that noise because the mechanism that controls the cathode that goes all over the screen makes noise because it goes so fast,(reply>), OK I did not understand the answer but I'm definitely wrong im high I kinda thought the comluterrs' were microwaves sometimes
Oh my God, was that high frequency morse code?
Felt really sad tbh :(
What’s the Morris code at the end mean?
If I can‘t hear the morse code at the end, is it due to my equipment (travel headphones) or my hearing?
Is it weird that I miss those screens?
Now I'm getting rickrolled every second lmao
I know how you feel tom I used to be able to do all sorts of things in my 20s, makes my back ache just thinking about it these daze...
Oowwww...<br><br><br>Okay, that was a VERY trippy video for me. I have heightened senses due to a couple of conditions I have. Just watching this edited version, I still feel nauseous and light-headed. I'm not sure how it worked, but I could pause the video, and I'd recover after a few seconds. Start it up again, and there's that weird sensation again. Not just the obvious sound, but something else, and honestly a bit too difficult to describe. Ah well, at least now I know more about why those old CRTs made so much noise.
tom: at least you can still hear it<br>video: beep boop boop beep<br>me: <b>IT HURTS, MAKE IT STOP</b>,(reply>), I had a knee jerk reaction to the noise at the end and closed the video, glad to know that even though I'm not a teenager anymore I can still hear like one,(reply>), It sounds like Morse code but I don’t know how to translate it,(reply>), @AllAroundWindows I just checked and you're correct lmao,(reply>), @AllAroundWindows I thought I heard something and was going to ask if anyone could check if it was morse or binary, seems you already cracked it!,(reply>), @AllAroundWindows WAIT REALLY
Imagine having to use a translator for Morse code. <br><br>This comment was made by the ham radio gang. <br><br>73 KI5HRV,(reply>), Oh yes, just got excited to use my CW skills again 😂<br>73 de S51LY,(reply>), How do you learn morse code? I just can't remember it.,(reply>), @FAB1150 "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP",(reply>), @FAB1150 its a Rick roll,(reply>), What did it say tho
did you have to put that annoying high noise in at the end.
Tom Scott is still ageless! None of us can quite tell whether he's 19 or 39!!
Interjecting the mosquito at the end was unnecessary, my friend... 😂
I HEARD THAT AND THE END
Use this as the " I didn't know about the Morse code beeping until I read the comments because I couldn't hear it" button
Was that Morse code at the end?
Meanwhile I have a high pitced noise in my ears all the time because I went to homecoming and prom
I've always thought about that question. Finally it's answered!👍
Ahhaha I like the very discreet high pitch at the end screen 😉 I thought I was hearing something but it wasn’t until I held my phone up to my ear that I realized it was actually there
That feeling when your ears get raped by high pitched morse code.
Getting older does suck. But it also teaches integrity and modesty, which I appreciate you having when composing this update. Big respect from Boston. And sorry about the tea.
welp. I'm 26 and I can't hear any high pitches. I blame listening to music too loud.
there is a high pitched mosecode at the end
I can barely hear the sound, I’m not deaf or hard of hearing
Oh dear god. I that sound at the end. But at least, it's nothing compared to the sound my dad played by mistake while exploring function on his photo camera while it was plugged on the TV. That was both loud and very high-pitched. My parents couldn't hear it, but I felt like it was physically hurting me.
Goddamn, that ending. As it turns out i stil can. Thx i hate it.
At least you're not impotent you just have trouble hearing high frequency noises.
Agh Tom that high pitched noise at the end took me by surprise
When I was I child I could always sense when a tv was on because I could hear the high pitched noise. Every time I mentioned this no one knew what I was on about now I have my proof what I could hear was real 👍
I didn't hear it on the video at all. And my hearing is fine. What are people whining about?
I could hear all old tube TV's if they were on if I was within 30 ft or so, through walls as well. Ppl thought I was crazy
Is that bit at the end Morse code?,(reply>), yes
your young then you aren't.. Where did the youth end and old age start? Like magic i have no answer
Wait I’m 20 and heard nothing at the end......,(reply>), Okay never mind i heard it when I turned the volume up
Was that morse code @ the end?😂
"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&amp;t=4m03s"">4:03</a> Heard that"
The driver circuit for the flyback transformer also makes a high pitched whine.
This video about old computer screens just made me feel old and sad, thanks Tom
Thanks for reminding me that I can still hear high-pitched noises. And thanks to your morse code message, I might not for long. It's so irritating 😡<br>But truly, you are a genius 😉, you gain some you lose some... 😔
Wa wa wa millennials complaining about hearing loss... 😜/JK
Plot twist: It's saying I'm old.
OMFG I THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY, I HEAR THIS FROM EVERYTHING, OLD COMPUTERS REFRIGERATORS ELECTRICAL PANELS LITERALLY ANYTHING THAT HAS ELECTRICITY MAKES THAT SUPER SKULL PIERCING PITCH FREQUENCY AND HOLY CRAP IN THIS MODERN CITY ITS MAKING ME THINK IM CRAZY SINCE IM THE ONLY ONE THAT I KNOW THAT CAN HEAR IT,(reply>), ok,(reply>), Same. I agree with everything you said. I'd often ask my family if they could hear the high pitched sounds coming from electrical things but they couldn't. I thought i was going crazy,(reply>), @Stefano Fierros I hear light :),(reply>), @Jonathan Odude not when you have hearing like mine. omg. it like a migraine but in the form of sound. it will give you a migraine after awhile too.,(reply>), @Dominik Tarcsay nope, either tinnitus or they live in a place with older stuff. i have this too. its anoying.
Thanks for that at the end...
Thanks for the high pitched beeping at the end, I laughed. I'm in my mid 30s. What frequency was it?,(reply>), A little late, but I think it should be around 16-17 KHz, but I'm not sure. It was Morse code for "Never Gonna Give You Up"
Boo hoo niga
I’ve always wondered this, thanks
TOM WHY. MY EARS
Thanks for setting my tinnitus off like fireworks by playing that high-pitched sound you <b>knew</b> was aggressive &amp; unpleasant. Really appreciate it, truly.
I remember when I was really young, every day when I would get off the school bus, as I was walking towards my house I'd try to pick up whether or not the TV was on. Surprise! I could usually tell. I now realise I was probably just hearing the high pitched frequency. I thought I was special. You've crushed me. My fragile ego is broken. D:
Wow this video was unexpectedly depressing :(
I clicked so fast, I have had this question since I was a little kid.
I presume the really high beeps at the end were on purpose, or am I just hearing things," <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&amp;t=3m58s"">3:58</a> to the end."
My ears do this anyway
there's a morse code in the ending
Omg I can hear it in the end
my tinitus is so.bad 2 years on i cant hear anything diferent anymore
Whats th morse in the end?
Is it me or on the last 2 seconds of the video you can hear a high pitched noise
Us “old timers” used to hear that all the time when we watched TV, back in the 1960s, 70’s, 80s and 90s.
Things turned dark quickly
I could still hear it even when you said you removed it...
my poor cat heard the noise at the end XD YOU MONSTER!!!
How did you get the words "high pitched" to appear raised and with a smaller font size in the title?
W H Y I S T H E T I T L E R I N G I N G A N D S M A L L
My childhood mystery has been solved
thank you
:)<br>Never going to give you up.
yea sorry i cant hear anything last in the video but i am also 47 and have worked in high noise involvements.
I hated the outro, it was peircing
really strange thing... The high pitch morse code at the end... just eased my slight headache. :s
damn this got sad
Thanks can hear it. My ears!
"Anger is fear in disguise". Now that's a quote I shall never forget, thank you.
so there was hi pitch morse code at the end, but honestly, I'm too lazy to try and decode it xD
