Dog whistles have an ultra high frequency range of 5800 HZ to 12400 HZ. Meanwhile T.V frequencies can range anywhere from 20 - 20000 HZ. I haven't tested myself but I know I can deffinetly hear the fequencies coming off of T.V's, lights, radios, computers, actually most electronic devices...

Because the amplitude of it is so low though, it seems like a seperate 'sense' to hearing and people report that they 'feel' the TV is on etc.
What does it sound like for all of you? mines sounds like a very high pitched eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (only way i know how to describe this sound) and i hear it as soon as a tv, radio,etc. is turned on whether or not it is silent in the room or not for the first second it almost cuts of anyother sound i hear then slowly gets softer.

It sounds the same for me, but the pitch depends on the position relative to me.
I hate the noise, I can't sleep easily when the television is on. It disturbs my mental concentration and doesn't allow R.E.M. sleep to be induced very well.
That noise also comes from my monitor. God damn I hate computers!, but it's the only way I can get on this forum!
I can't live without SciForums.com!

U are able to switch your monitor off u know. It also prevents fires at night when ur sleeping

Yes, I do know. But the computer is far enough away, and has enough walls between it and I to allow me to not hear it! Anyhow, we aren't allowed to turn them off.
Fires Smires! I 'd just use a simple fire extinguisher, even though there is only a one in a zillion chance of that occurring!

Can you hear people talking on the TV, even though the mute button has been pressed?
HOWARDSTERN said:
Yes, I can. I actually try to hear them. Then, I watch the show/movie again, and they said what I heard them say.
Votorx said:
Ahh, but you can hear them, not imaginary! I can hear what they say, even in cartoons, for if you listen closely enough, you can hear the signals to the T.V. and tune into them with your mind.
*/I do not lip read. It's too hard./*
It is possible. I have done it. It's a little party trick that I do.

I get the exact same thing. I concluded long ago that it's an ultra-high-pitched buzzing that comes from the TV when it's on. I remember walking into my house, and just being able to know that there's a TV on somewhere.

Whenever the t.v. is on along with a computer, lights,and other sorts I get very nervous and irritated and I end up turning something off.
Muting a Television doesn't necessarily remove sound completely from the TV, I had the misfortune of dealing with a Television that wasn't my own which you could raise the volume while muted and you'd be able to hear an increase in how loud the output was even though it was suppose to be muted.
As you can guess taking mute off was advisable when it was extremely loud, in fact I think it was so that you'd know the TV was on especially for Blind people who still can watch/listen to a television even though they can't see it who wouldn't know the mute was on.
As for irratation with Computers etc, Radiation (Frequency) is emitted from various sources which can interface with the way the human brain computes signals. Sometimes such signal disruption can cause different types of Epilepsy, although if your mentioning Irritated like Anger then you might suffer from one type thats sometimes caused by First Person Perspective games and the way they attempt to deal with Framerates when your moving about in the game. (Such as Hitman or Grand Theft)

A TV set emits a sound at 16kHz whenever it is turned on. It comes from the line transformer. On some sets it becomes more audible when the set is tuned to an empty channel (showing "snow"). This is because then the line oscillator is not locked to the transmitter frequency, but may be fluctuating, that makes it easier to discern.
The normal range of the human ear is said to be 15-20,000 Hz, but that does not mean that you may not sense sounds outside that range, they will just be very attenuated.
Humans cannot sense electromagnetic waves, like radio signals etc. If you could, it would not be the receiver you "heard", but the transmitter, since the signal coming from the transmitter is many orders of magnitude stronger than anything coming from a receiver.
Sense a TV in another room? Well, I can walk by a house and say: "There is a TV set in the living-room", and I'll be right 98% of the time .

16kHz, eh? I've made a sound file of exactly that tone. Check it out (make sure there are no dogs around, lol):

XstaR, when you hear the above mp3, is that the feeling you get when you think there's a TV on?

Wow I Have This Too, It's So Bad With Me I Can Hardly Use A Cell Phone Or Sit At The Computer....It Gives Me A Bad Ringing In My Ears Followed By Headache That Last's For Days......I Can Also Hear When Tv's or anything electrical Is On From Several Rooms Away....

Yep: Many People can "Pick up" the Bat Squeak (15,734.26 Cycles per second) of Magnetostrictive Transducing of the "Flyback" Transformer (Also known as "Horizontal Output Transformer") in TV Receivers. Some TVs are Just Noisier than Others but most can be Heard only 1 room away. You have no idea of the Complex Elecromagnetic "Soup" emitted by TV / Radio broadcasts in Urban Areas! The "ORGY of the Signals"
I Would Repectfully Suggest the Original Poster, or any whose Electromagnetic bodies are Sensitive to ALL the EMI Cities Generate (a lot of us on this thread), might Like to look into the Use of the [Legal, avaliable] Sacred "Leaves of the Sheperdess" of the Shamans of the Mazatec Indian Tribe. There IS a "Teaching Ally" in this Plant that May Unlock these Person's Awesome Latent Potential and Show them new Worlds to Travel to. I've met Something From Inside those Leaves that 'tells' me this original poster is special and might like to meet her face to face (Her being "Mother Mary" as in "Ska Maria Pastora").
That's Wierd: She generally dosen't seek out Chosen Ones like this. She usually let's them seek her. Look if you dare at the Research: Sage Wisdom it in no way Diminishes the Pure Magick that Lies Coiled within C23H28O8.
