New room mate hears my tv

[David Roper]

Sensitive ears on that one. I suspect it's what the Brits call "line whistle" and it comes from the flyback. I could hear it when I was young; once while on a vacation trip with the family, walking through a mall, I said "oh, we're coming up to the TV section!" I got some doubtful looks, but after a few more steps and turning a corner, voila, rows and rows of TVs.

Unlike your friend I was never bothered by the sound of a flyback. The pitch is way too high to be perceived as having much volume at all. Not sure what you can do to accommodate her other than turn it off at night go flat screen.
