This is very peculiar, and all this time I thought it was just 
retired band directors. I don't play bass anything, but I was always 
the one who heard the low frequency sounds of trucks driving by 
three blocks away, and the cars down the block warming up in the 
driveway, air conditioners, and such. That subliminal "thrum" 
doesn't bother most folks, but it always did me. Other tuners too, 
it seems. Very interesting. Now, is that mostly aural tuners, or 
ETD? Are folks who never learned to tune aurally bass-centric?

This is cool. Aberrant psychology is fun.
