I hear the chirping of shoes on televised basketball games. No one believes it until you meet someone else who can hear it too. Some people can just hear higher pitch sounds.

Edit: and yeah, I can hear when a CRT tv is on.

Wait, most people don't hear that?

I don’t know. I thought everyone could too. Until it turned into an argument at like thanksgiving or something. I don’t watch sports but the rest of my family does.

Maybe the rest of your family is just so used to it they ignore it.

The chirping noises from shoes is so annoying. When I watch college basketball it's with the volume off.

Most people don't actually pay attention to their senses - I think the brain happily filters it all it out.

I think as I'm getting older, I'm either more aware or it's getting worse
