I heard the high pitched sound from two posts up and knew the next half hour was going to be awesome.

Nobody ever believed me when I said I could hear a powered-on CRT from two rooms away

I'm in my 40s and still can hear that frequency just fine. Probably not as loud.

One of my least favorite types of thing are those "teenager repellent" devices.

Also certain induction cooktops.

In addition, this severely affects animals too
