Most of them only did that when they weren't getting a valid signal, I did have a CGA monitor on my first PC that made an awful whine though, it comes from the horizontal deflection. Once you are around 35 years old it is irrelevant because you can't hear it anymore.

Most CRTs bothered me.  It was the same frequency as the ringing in my ears and I still 'hear' that despite being over 35.

I had a CRT that would randomly start making a high pitched sound too, I'd tap the side and it would stop for a bit lol.   I would also hear 60hz in it if the dimmer switch in the dining room was dimmed.

Sometimes it's easy to feel nostalgic about certain tech, but CRTs are actually one thing I don't really miss at all.  I do have a few I keep in storage for old time sake but I would not even want to use them unless I decide to build a retro PC setup for fun or something.   CRT TVs are also good if you want to break out the NES and play duck hunt.

Says who?

I enjoy drinking beer in moderation, it tastes good, it's an enjoyable social activity, there are certainly worse things I could be doing with my time.

Just like with smartphones, moderation is key.
