I dunno, there are some people who really seem to be sensitive to a lot of stuff.

I definitely know what Ringo is talking about with the high-pitched whine of CRT screens turning on...That was annoying. Kind of felt like a little static shock in my ears.

That’s a sound, that’s not electromagnetic radiation.

If you talk to any old ham radio operator, they'll tell you about "RF burn" or "RF in the shack," where improperly grounded equipment or being too close to antennas during transmission can cause burns.

Granted, that's at a way higher power output than most consumer devices (a hundred watts or so at a lower frequency versus 100 milliwatts max for phones and most access points).

I don't actually know anyone personally who can prove that they're sensitive to 2.4GHz, but the body is susceptible to RF and microwave radiation at some level.

It is, but it’s the difference between using a furnace to heat your home and lighting yourself on fire.
