CRTs just make that sound. You begin to not hear its frequency as you get older. Also the text over the screen was sometimes an additional signal stream so how it handled interlacing it was kinda weird iirc. The lack of buzzing is you getting older. I'm sorry.
Does anyone remember how, back on old broadcast TV, text on the screen would make the rest of the video funky and even make a buzzing sound? Anyone have one of those amazing youtube videos that explain that?

No no no, I know the CRT frequency noise you speak of, and you're right, I don't hear it anymore, but this was a very different buzzing that changed based on what was on screen. The CRT hum I could hear outside of someone's house when the TV was on

The bees inside those old TVs hate reading.

My tvs would do that whenever there was a lot of pure white

We had a tv that would switch off when there was too much white. There'd be some ad that always did it, and I think some show with fades to white was unwatchable (Six Feet Under?).

Its because text back then was created by trained bees!

It's not a YT vid, but it looks like this + other Google things say it's caused by color and the text display being near where audio's controlled in those TVs?: https://ask.metafilter.com/14089/Why-do-I-hear-static-on-my-TV-when-certain-text-is-displayed …

Ah! That sounds super reasonable!
