Is there a name for fear of tv static? I've been scared of it my entire life, specifically visual and audio static together. Just the sound of a tube tv turning on makes me nervous, so does seeing only visual static on a tv or hearing audio static on a radio (though I've improved with the radio because of exposure therapy that I did myself). Full audio visual static will put me into a panic attack. For clarification I've never seen a horror movie so it has nothing to do with that

I only use the up/down keys on a tv remote because I'm scared I'll type the number in wrong and it will go to a static-y channel even though the flat screen tv's we have don't show static, and I also get nervous when I get to the last channel and press up again because I'm scared the tv will glitch and show static instead of just going to the first channel. I also mute the tv and put it on a regular channel instead of the source channel if I connect a VCR or something to avoid it.
