A decent and easy test is whether you can tell if the TV is on in another
room with the volume off.  TVs produce a tone around 15KHz I think.

OK, closer to IDM content:  At the end of Ryoji Ikeda's +/- there is a
tone which supposedly a listener becomes aware of only when it stops.
Well, I can hear it the whole time.  (Hint: wear earplugs at concerts!)

Sorry if I'm beating a dead (and off-topic) horse...
