OMG I heard it...what is up with that. It sounded like white noise. weird.

No, I'm probably just unusually sensitive. (a.k.a. "easily annoyed"...)

To me it's similar to the sound of a dying fluorescent bulb, but more intense.

I can hear up to 15 easily, the 16 is on the edge of my hearing.

Means you have good hearing!

I heard all of them, which is probably why the noise TVs make when they are running but muted bothers me.

That bothers me sometimes - usually with older TVs.
