I do indeed. One of my relatives had a set with a remote like that when I was a kid. You could drive the TV crazy by shaking a set of keys.
Since that was long before I discovered rock music, unmuffled exhausts and firearms I could clearly hear the 'ping!' of the remote. Adults just heard a click. I thought that was pretty weird, along with the fact that they couldn't hear the transformer whine.
