I wonder if noticing 60Hz more has anything to do with living in the UK, where the mains frequency is 50Hz rather than 60Hz, as it is in the US?

That means that 50Hz rather than 60Hz is the electrical (lightbulbs, fluorescent tubes etc - and TV) background I'm constantly subjected to, so 60Hz is probably more noticeable by its difference.
