Could you hear the tone?
Yes, I heard it clear as day all the time.
Nope. Never even knew they emitted such a tone.

You reverse damage simply by rubbing the magnet over it again.

That's the "theory". In practice it worked somewhat but not fully. I probably tried to fix it hundreds of times, all up, being an obsessive bastard. Don't put a magnet near a CRT screen if you don't want to severely risk loving it up. Simple.

Try playing around 15,700 Hz here and see if you can still hear it. I think that's the CRT whine frequency.

I don't think that site is working! Anything after 14,500 just cuts off! Very poor coding.

Generalising others' experience based entirely on one's own is surely one of the classic signs of pigheaded idiocy.

But then you also suggested throwing one CRT monitor at another ITT, so pardon me for expecting better from you.

It must be hard to think being a constant boner, taking all the blood away from the brain, which is elsewhere.

Yep, right re the rock, just asking for it.

A heads-up to those using the tone generator website: Do read and take in board the warning on the webpage about not raising the volume high when the tone becomes high enough to be inaudible. I did this and went a bit deaf in the ear nearest the speakers for a while afterwards. Not clever.

I think there were a few but they were crazy expensive and pointless since the industry had already mostly moved to LCD and plasma.

I don't think a phone speaker has anywhere near the frequency range for trying something like this.

I miss trying to smash the screen of a 36” tv left by the dumpster with multiple cinder blocks and then having them all crumble until you use a giant piece of coral which completely destroys the screen. The good ol days.

I miss having one. I'd love to gave a small CRT again just for my old console setups. There's a giant one in the basement of my mom's house and I have no idea what we're gonna do with it. It's gotta weigh at least 300-400 pounds.

Put it up for free on craigslist? I'd say that's your best bet for finding some turbonerd who's willing to move it. Otoh there's a massive one in the basement of my apartment I'd love to have but I ain't hauling it up two stories.

How come I can hear 15.7khz only with my ear to the speaker at full volume but not farther? Is that like the Doppler effect?

Lol I destroyed a GameCube controller by getting mad at Viewtiful Joe and hurling it. I meant to throw it at the wall but rage swayed my aim and it hit the corner of the screen instead. The screen was fine; the controller not so much.

Once I was invited by a friend to bash up an old crt tv that didn't work super well, it was such a tiny little guy that seemed to look up at me and say, 'please, no', I didn't want to do it and we got interrupted by some other thing so I never did it, maybe he did though not sure

Don't put high volume high frequency noises near your ear. It's supposed to be super bad for your hearing, even if perceptually it's barely audible.

It isn’t quite the same hum but I can definitely tell when lovely chargers and stuff are connected. For example we got a couple of those outlet expanders that have usb slots for directly charging phones. Except they emit a dirty sounding frequency that gnaws away at my brain, which ain’t the best for sleeping so there goes 50% of the utility of the drat thing
