Older TVs I could "sense" when they were turned on or off like a room over.
I assume it was a sound but I couldn't really explain it back then lol, it really was more of a "feeling"
CRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It's somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.
Right, I assumed it was sound but I could like feel it in the hairs on my body too. Was weird lol
It does do some static stuff but I don't know if you'd be able to feel that from another room.
