CRT is laughing, and not in its grave, because it will outlast them all.
I was actually thinking what would lead to a Alien Earth type situation where everyone is still using CRT.
- The screen will, but my ears won’t. Idk I am just old enough to have been at the tail end of CRTs, but I can’t stand the high pitched whine. They all do that, right?
  
  You can't hear it much out of your 20's unless you're an edge-case-human. The frequencies in question that you're referring to are ones that almost all humans are deaf to by the time they're 30.
  
  CRTs whine at ~15kHz, which should be audible until at least your 40s.
  I'm 37, and have absolutely destroyed my hearing by always having a loud sound system with booming subs in my car ever since I was a teenager, yet I can still hear up to ~17kHz. I can always tell when I'm in a house with a running CRT.
  If you're younger than me and can't hear CRTs, can't tell the difference between FM and HD Radio, or the difference between a 96kbps MP3 and 320k/lossless, then it might be a good idea to get a hearing test.
  
  Not with my tinnitus, which I've had to live with since I was about 5 years old.
  
  I'd say it depends on the voltage and hertz you're running, but yeah, hearing it isn't anything super special.
  I was once so fking annoyed at this "kennel" my former gf got chihuahuas from, because the grower used an "anti-mouse" device and seeing how I could hear it whine, I'm pretty sure the 20 chihuahuas could as well.
  
  I have that sound all the time! Got a just degaus it, that's the best part of CRTs, making it dance.
