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

I can't hear it well because it's either loving up my phone or it's merged with the continuous unending tone of tinnitus which I hear at all times continuously

It starts getting hard to tell around 14-15

the real annoying 15khz whine of the deflection yoke is when someone whines about it

(all your 90s PC monitor CRTs operated at above 15khz at typical VGA resolutions and more so there isn't anything audible)

Whatever it was monitors for sure had a noticeable sound that was different depending on the monitor
