I know there are individual things. Like for example I can here the 15,270Hz
sound. many can't. TVs and old monitors make this. I jokingly call it the
raster scan vibration. :) I near it it doesn't bother me. A friend and his
mother here it and it drives them up the wall. Me usually perfume doesn't
bother me. If I get sick on out get the flu it neauseates me to the point to
almost vimiting. So I think something is there, and in some these things. So
ggod luck. Seems LCD shouldn't produce anywhere near the amount of ER output. I
know overcranking TV tubes by raising the HF produced soft x-rays.

Wild "Science FOr KIds" book in the 1940s told how to do this, aneat stuff you
could do with an x-ray tube. Today we would shudder at the thought.

Have Fun,
