Question to the technical gurus: is this noise emanating from the speaker, or is the hardware itself singing to us?
It's both. The composite video signal will often leak into the audio signal (and come out the speaker), even on the best TVs, leading to 60hz buzz, and other noise. On top of that, there's a constant 15khz whine from the CRT during its horizontal sweep, which changes depending on the intensity of the picture and colours being displayed (3.5 MHz colour clock overtones.)
In conclusion, RGB is best. 
Aha. Thank you. I've always wondered about that. I have pretty good hearing and I hear the "whine" that a lot of electronic devices generate, for various reasons.
RGB is, as you say, the best when it comes to "purity", but I suppose I like things messy
. Unfortunately, it sounds perverted when I phrase it that way.
Of course, I have my limits: I can tolerate a certain level of "messy"--but cross that line and I'll be frustrated. For example, I don't mind hearing vinyl records occasionally "crackle and pop" when I listen to them, but a skip will piss me off.
I dunno, I find the nice bzzznrrrrzzzzrzrnrrrrrr noise to be pretty soothing at 3am when its time to OBEY
I'm with you. That "bzzznrrrrzzzzrzrnrrrrrr" makes me feel warm and cozy.
