You have good hearing. Most TV's (tube type) will emit a 60 hz. buzz as well as a 15,734 hz. whine from the set. The loudness varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and age can also be a contributing factor.

It seems that once someone `tunes in' to these noises, they are always aware of them from that point on. Personally, I can't go into a store that has a lot of TV's running because the noise eminating from them becomes piercing to my ears, and after a few minutes I have to leave or deal with a splitting headache if I've been exposed long enough.

You aren't hearing things. Those noises are there with tube type TV's, and the LCD/plasma TV's have a set of noises all their own too.

If you can, just ignore them. It IS normal and usually nothing to worry about. Hopefully, the program you're watching is interesting enough (yes, I know THAT'S RARE these days) to distract your attention away from the noises.
