Google Meet rolls out multi-device adaptive audio ...
I used to hear the remote from TVs especially old Philips ones and LG's with the single chip on them. That was until I hit 44... after that is hit or miss or just imagining.

But weren't old remotes all IR?

Some very old remotes used what effectively amounted to high frequency tuning forks. Example:

No, not all were IR.
But all of them made by "LG" and featuring a single-chip design are either IR or RF.

Those will still have a ceramic resonator in them, as they’re cheaper than a quartz crystal. Hard to imagine them being audible, but not impossible.
