A few years back I worked for an outfit that had contracted to service quite a few Wyse terminals. This was long before I had ever heard of an ESR meter. In a Wyse 60 terminal the power supply free runs at an audible frequency, at startup, and syncs to the horizontal sync (ultrasonic frequence). A cap dried out which supplied the signals for the PS to sync to, and the PS stayed at an audible frequence. Male techs (myself included) could hear this but barely, but it annoyed some secretaries immensely.
