Doesn't matter
The closer a sound is to the ear, the more elevated the pitch. It's the same general principle as why when you move away from the TV, the volume gets lower. You also should remember headphones and earphones are both enclosed, where a room in your home probably is not acousticly enclosed, and has lots of room for noise to scatter about.
Trust me bro, you're talking to someone who does nothing but have noise on in the background.
For that matter, the UHF levels of the devices which are used on dogs and cats can in some cases be quite damaging to your ears. If you are sensitive enough to have heard them, you might have something seriously wrong with your ears, in which case, you definately owe it to yourself to get yourself checked out. The pitch can cause long term or even lifetime damage.

Anybody else getting this? Or sharp pains in certain parts of the body? I seem to be getting some in my left butt-cheek and down the thigh.

Just wanting to know if anybody has been experiencing this lately...
You know the sensor things that you can put on your house so that when a cat enters your garden, it will emit a high pitched sounds that will deter cats from going into your garden? Well, i know that most humans aren't able to hear them, but I, and a lot of other people can hear them, and I always hear the noise while passing houses that I know have the sensors. It's like really irritating tinnitus, but much more prominent and I can tell it comes from an external source rather than my inner-ears.
Anyways, lately i've been getting sudden attacks of a high pitched noise while at home, except the noise is very loud, and it's coming from my head/ears. I've also been getting bouts of dizziness that literally last 2 seconds, go away, then 10 seconds later, another burst of noise, then another 2 seconds of extreme dizziness.
I hate going to the doctor, so I asked my friend, who is a doctor, and they said that the "volume" of the noises aren't typical of tinnitus, and that any dizziness that occurs due to inner-ear problems are usually longer than 2 seconds, and do not happen in bursts while at rest, only when moving or getting up.
Extra bit of info, the noise doesn't seem to be coming from my ear, it's like i'm hearing it inside my head, but obviously sound is perceived through the ears so .... eughh.
