Y'know, they always say that, but nobody has yet built a fluorescent light that doesn't make my brain hurt. I know those are at a lower frequency, right? But honestly, these things ALWAYS end up wigging someone's nervous system out.
I'm just being pessimistic. I understand, rationally, that we're talking about apples and pianos.
Faulty ones, yeah. AFAIK the ones that work properly have usually 2 times the frequency of electrical grid in given place...so that would mean 120Hz for you.
Accidentally - I've never heard somebody complaining about flicker on 100 or 120Hz monitor...but 50 or 60Hz does dive headaches.
Dog whistles are in the 20-30kHz range, well below the MHz range Brian mentioned.
They're basically just above the (normal, non-GURM ) human hearing range.

Reminds me, I have to check at what frequency bats common during summer in my city emit signals. I definatelly can hear them...irritating a bit - when they're very near, it doesn't become loud at any point (in the sense of "loudness" it always barely registers), but it does become almost painfull.
