No please. I want CRTs to stay in the past. The sound they make always gave me a headache, or just irritated me.
That sound is above 15kHz. If you're old enough to remember CRTs there is a pretty good chance you can't hear it anymore
I can, unfortunately. My younger brother bought a small CRT a couple of months ago because he's getting into retro gaming. He hardly touches the thing, but I can hear it across the apartment whenever he turns the damn thing on.
The tinnitus in my right ear sounds exactly like a CRT. Imagine being stuck with that sound for life.
pwwwwweeeeeeeeee...
