"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&amp;t=2m09s"">2:09</a> for the noise"
Can you guys hear the Morse code in the background at the end of the video👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oh, well.... keep your shirt on... it'll get far worse! :-D
Is it me, or is the high pitched noise at the end in morse code?,(reply>), Newman Haha yes! I had to rewind, heard “never gonna give you up”, little rickroll
Damn whiny kids, get off my lawn!
I love the way you present your thoughts
At the end of the video, i thought that my crt had turned on, thanks tom
Yes, I heard the noises at the end.
I'm glad CRTs are less common; that noise is so irritating. It's always funny to me that other people can't here it. I can still hear the mosquito alarms
How can I make the high pitched ringing noise on my CRT TV louder? I love the noise!
I recently had a hearing test because I could no longer hear the higher frequencies, I thought my hearing had got really bad, apparently not, I was just blessed with extra good hearing until my mid 40's, now I just have normal people's hearing now, how rubbish is that 😂
what was the hz on the end
Jez, I came to learn why my ears ring whenever a box set TV is around and I got a deep personal lecture from this guy.
I have a CRT TV... no high pitched noise. I'm also 54 years old. I remember being annoyed at the noisy monitor that came with my Dad's TRS-80. I'll be dead soon.
Welp, I just realized I can't absolutely hear that frequency anymore; and I'm just 24 years old... :(,(reply>), I can't either and i'm 16,(reply>), same, but then again, from birth i must use hearing aids in both of my ears since my birth .my parents ofc didn't notice this until later because i was a normal baby and i could hear loud noises just fine and i could hear the voice from nearby but and react to it, but i wouldn't understand at all what that person is saying. if i go to local swimming place and at locker rooms i take my hearing aids off because they are weak, they are just fine in rain but not constant water that pool has or high temperatures that sauna has. but when i return to locker rooms and place the hearing aids and turn them on again, all of the sudden world starts screaming in my ear once again.,(reply>), I panicked so hard when I couldn’t hear it until I switched to better headphones and was greeted by a mild headache.,(reply>), I couldn't hear it unless I put the sound at max😢
Why you gotta make me sad tom
I love that the end was a dog whistle lmao
I am 42, and I am still able to hear high pitched sounds, like the one at the end screen (viewed with my ipad airk. But I am curios now how high I still hear. Will lookup a App now.
i just got rickrolled

Back in the late 80s, I needed to go into a room where a bunch of old engineers were laying out circuit boards on computers with CGA monitors. They couldn't hear the whine but I could since I was only 30. Every time I went in there I had to stick my fingers in my ears. CGA monitors were at the 15.7 KHz frequency but better monitors like my EGA were at 21.8 KHz which I couldn't hear very well.
I feel that... I've lost part of my upper range of hearing myself, nd have a nice case of tinnitis to boot... age, amirite?

Could deffo hear that high pitched noise at the end of the video, that or watching this ruined my brain.
So, two years on, are you still able to read this without reading glasses or has that gone too?<br>Age, concerts and heavey industry have taken their toll on my hearing, thankfully I can still hear "the voices" though.
FYI, hearing damage is permanent and accumulative. Always have ear plugs on you and never be ashamed to use them.
getting old... only heard the end with headphones and max volume. but still I hear to much noise that annoys me every day. one less :)
Poor Tommy
Made me feel bad for something I didn’t even get mad at, until you did a high pitched morse rickroll...
I can only hear a high pitch noise at the end
Every time I watch this video my urge to hug and protect Tom from every hardship in the world increases,(reply>), @Anir O'Brien lmao,(reply>), @Emily Trost Hello fellow empath!,(reply>), And then the high pitched beeping started and all that empathy got thrown out as I wanted to punch him for doing that to my ears.,(reply>), Must protecc,(reply>), gay
Just wait, if you spent must of your life working in front of a CRT, you will eventually hear that sound all of the time, especially when it’s really quiet. It just gets louder as your hearing slowly becomes weaker.
ok. im happy to have heard it very clearly at 30 years of age.
That beeping at the end - guess Im really young cause damn that is EXTREMELY loud and annoying XD
when i had my own tv it was a old one and it also had that sound
I just got rick rolled at the end, wow
DID YOU JUST RICK ROLL EVERYONE YONGER THAN YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
As a person who can understand morse code.... you got me good at the end of the video. <br>My head: Never .... gonna... give.... you. DAMMNN ITTT TOM
judging by the morse code at the end at least we know your sense of humor isn't degrading xD
Is that a high-pitched noise in the Outro?
Is there someone who knows morse code with good enough hearing tell me what that high-pitched beeping right at the end of the video meant?
Why did you put thet horrible sound at the end!??!
Worn out flybacks
I have to come back when I have access to the science library wifi.,(reply>), also I hope brexit isnt like some lame oxf vs cambridge ...caimbridge.....sp??? wars
Thanks for the Morse message
Owwwww high pitched rick roll
What frequency is that Morse code message played in?,(reply>), Hey, me from the past. It's the same frequency Tom is talking about (~15.6kHz) and the message is: NEVERGONNAGIVEYOUUP
I have an audio monitor on my desktop i plug my laptop into. I could not hear the high pich noise, the computer did, and it showed as a huge black line at around 16 kHz. before that that area was blank. good job mate, you figured it out.
did you put in a high pitched noise in the last couple seconds of the video or am I going crazy
Bastard just rickrolled teenagers with this.
I got alarmed myself about my hearing," and was about to try and look up and listen to some high freq audio. Until the video hit <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&amp;t=4m00s"">4:00</a>. Phew. I can still hear pointlessly high pitched audio... For now."
"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA5UiLYWdbM&amp;t=2m05s"">2:05</a> jumpscre warning"
This is why I switched to LCD some time ago.
I used to be able to hear the whining of tv screens and computer monitors really well too, and probably beyond the age I should have been able to. I am so glad I am too old to hear it now.
Haaaa, I thought it was going to be about old screens on doors. I kill me.
Im in my mid 30s and still hear those pesky mosquito things
I didn't realize this was the same place I visited awhile ago! Awesome to see you in my city, I hope you liked it!
I keep watching these videos even though I don't understand any of it
I remember always hearing that high-pitched sound when a TV was on, and wondering why my parents couldn't hear it. It would be many years later that I found out what it was. The thing is, I got so used to the idea that TV screens made that sound, that now I imagine I hear it even on modern LCD TVs, which don't make that sound.,(reply>), I think I have tinnitus at that frequency but I only hear it when stuff like this reminds me about it. I have decent hearing though. The other night I noticed that my bedroom TV's backlight makes a slight noise when it's set to an even number but not an odd number.,(reply>), Its really kind of a placebo effect. You grow up hearing it and so you expect it to be there,(reply>), Isn’t it that you might just have tinnitus,(reply>), @Banana Either I have tinnitus or I can hear my phone's capacitors screaming in pain.,(reply>), if you put your ear to the back of an LCD monitor and move it around at some point you will probably hear a slight high pitched whine from a capacitor. Hell I can even hear my phone in a quite room if i put it to my ear haha
When I was really young (about 5 to 8 years old) I was able to hear an ulta sound remote control from some whacky 70's or 80's tv. These days I have tinnitus so I'm still able to hear high pitched sounds. I think I have some "dead" bands of hearing but some of the high pitch stuff is still working. High pitched sound is also really really directional. I some times need to turn my ears to face the sound in the right direction to hear it clearly and even then it's more like a sound "in my mind" than a sound that I know is really there. It's quite strange.
I immediately heard the high tone at the end, but didn't realize it was Morse code.<br>Hilarious.
My dog is attacking me so thank you...
Huh, I could hear the noise 2 years ago, but can't now.
In my mid 30's age wise mosquito alarms and CRT monitors are still painful to hear. Also the Morris code at the end of this video was painful.
I can hear it with headphone but not without one. What does that make of me?,(reply>), Maybe it makes you someone with inadequate system drivers? You can only hear what your hardware conveys, after all.
ow my ears at the end
I got so sad at the end goodness.<br>Awwe bless him.❤
its so loud!! the sound of the /RrRR/ -ing
The ending hurt so bad
Morse code at the end there, someone please sole it,
A whole video using sound to get kids to appreciate their youth. Priceless.,(reply>), Or get an existential crisis when they realise there's a sound at the end of the video that they can't hear
F
Nice little touch at the very end ;)
I can hear computers and chargers and everything and im 19 h
Thank you for the information &lt;3 like always, it was really interesting &lt;3 <br>But seriously?! In your thirties you're already starting to talk about aging?!! These frequencies aren't even needed in our every day life -_-
Nearly everyone thinks It’s High Pitch Sound, but some people thinks It’s Squealing.
A true scientist
Why this video's ending is so bitter... I felt so sad... so sad....
I very suddenly (over the course of about 1.5 years) suffered significant reduction in far vision acuity. It has since stabilized somewhat, but being a professional pilot, I've always prided myself on having excellent vision and never needing glasses.<br>Now, I have to wear glasses to make out far away objects clearly. And I absolutely hate it. I hate having to wear glasses. I hate noticing now how poor my vision has become. I'm still very young, and yet my eyes are failing me.
was i the only one to here the the noise at the end of the video?
Tom is everything ok?<br>Every little mistake you make you criticize yourself 8ts not such a big problem<br><br>Honestly if you need help get help
I wondered about that, I remember when I was a kid and we still had a tube tv, I could always tell if it was turned on, even if the screen was black or I was behind it in the other room because I could hear that high pitched frequency. It's also nice to know I can still hear high pitched frequencies even now, given I could just barely hear that high pitched morse code at the end, even if I couldn't understand it due to not knowing morse code, and I'm in my mid 30s now.
My old CRT TV also makes a high pitched noise.
With age comes wisdom 👍
Sadly I don't know morse code.
I had a day where there was a really bothersome high pitched sound coming from the upstairs. My uncle could not hear it untill much much later. Reason this was happening was an old tranformers toy I had had a battery dying
Maybe that’s the noise that manipulated your brains waves. “Television Programming”
...... doesnt youtubes audio compression tend to leave out super high frequencies anyway tho?
Was the morse code in the end on both ears or just the left? x)
These kids never growing up with crts
This was amazingly interesting and suddenly heartbreaking, and I wouldn't have it any other way, Tom. Keep making videos for as long as you can, and we'll be here to watch them. (This was uploaded on my birthday, too!)
I can still hear the mosquito but only very faintly, and only with headphones.<br><br>I'm only 27. :,(
wtf I'm 15 and can't hear a morse code at the end??
Wow, this took a rather unexpected turn into darker territory. I sense the onset of a midlife crisis - it starts with the abrubt awareness of something you used to be able to do and can't any more, then it wanders into trying to relive your youth. I'm guessing you're toying with the idea of buying a sports car? I know I did, a Porsche 944, a car which was one of my favourites as a teenager and is still relatively affordable for me. I still look occasionally, because I've not yet reached the point of acceptance that I'm too old for such nonsense. Sigh...
Was that morse code at the end?

Dammit! A few years ago I used to complain about my parents' laptop charger! Now I don't hear anything! 😥
It's upsetting. I love our 28" Toshiba Picture Frame "Flat" screen CRT Telly. I refuse to let it go on grounds of rendering of motion and SD picture quality. I have developed tittiness and wonder if the humble telly caused it. One day on a hunt with a spectrum analyser app I pinned it down. It's there but I cant hear it except the odd occasion when I turn my head a certain way or maybe it's resonating a lower frequency somehow....? Changing a flyback transformer with 35kV is a bit deadly. Maybe a noice cancelling speaker placed in or near it...
The mosquito sound at the end was god awful but clever... ty for the wise words my though dude.
I had meningitis when I was really young and I have tinnitus constantly. I wish it were the case that as I get older, I would notice the high pitch screeching less, but actually, I notice it more. Life is cruel.
