It’s very common for us 'spergs to have a very high frequency cut off on our hearing, all the way to old age.
I’m 43 and can still hear the bats chirping when they’re hunting insects in the twilight round the gardens. People think I’m making it up, until I point the bats out, tracking them by sound until they flutter high enough to see their silhouette against the sky.
CRT TVs and monitors used to annoy the hell out of me. The high pitched whine of the flyback transformer that runs the motion of the electron beam makes a very distinctive hiss. Like someone else on here, I could tell what refresh rate your monitor was running in by the noise it made.
That, plus an abnormally high flicker fusion frequency meant I had migraines every other day when I was working. :-/
Interesting, never knew that. I’m in my 40s and can still hear the annoying high-pitched whine from the speaker outside a shop near me that’s designed to keep kids from hanging around.
Diagnosed autistic?

Ah, the “Mosquito” device.
I have strong feelings on those things. Strong enough to drill holes in one while up a ladder wearing a visi-vest.
Side note: It’s amazing how invisible you become while wearing a high-vis vest and a hard hat.
An IN-visi-vest, if you will
Not as cool as Predator camouflage but just as effective.
