Anecdotal, but I can testify to it: I know a woman who as a kid and young adult could "hear" the anti-theft systems in some stores back in the 80's or so, along with other such high-pitched sounds; it drove her crazy to be in such stores, etc. It seems that she grew out of it (or at least, mostly).
