At my high school, there was a large Sears store almost next door. I regularly stopped there on the trip home to drool and dream in the tool department. They had a PA system with a horrid very high pitched squeal. I had to walk around with my fingers in my ears. More than once the employees would ask why I had my finders in my ears, and I said due to the squeal for the PA system and it was like telling them there were unicorns flying around as they were too old to hear it. Several of my high school friends said they heard it as well.
I really do miss the Sears tool department. Like the Montgomery Ward plumbing department back then had more plumbing stuff than most Ace Hardware stores do today. I don;t think I ever went to a Kmart. We had TG&Y here in Oklahoma and Otasco as great stores. All gone now.
