I used to be able to tell if a TV was on or not. I can’t really explain it, but it was like I could vaguely hear/feel it? I don’t know, I was a kid. My grandma would play her games without sound sometimes so she wouldn’t wake people up (and probably to play without a kid hanging off of her), but I evolved to counter it. 😂
CRT TV’s emit a high frequency noise while in operation. Apparently there must be a significant number of people who can’t hear frequencies that high. My wife can’t hear it and had no idea those TV’s made any noise at all.
I remember I was able to hear them as a kid. It’s been a while since I’ve interacted with one, so who knows if it’s even likely that i still have that acuteness of hearing, but I do remember it. Some good amount of years ago I found a crt monitor and turned it on and the dimming and slightly-static clicking sounds sent me back
I can tell when the batteries on my cordless mouse have died. There’s a strange feeling of resistance when the mouse is active, but when it’s dead, nothing.

Aww, it’s not magic, just science (Thank you for the info! Very interesting!)

Gramer grandma.
I had this too!
