Two neurodivergents in a room trying to figure out WHAT IS MAKING THAT HIGH PITCHED NOISE

@Jes @Ashedryden they still do that? I thought it stopped with the demise of CRT monitors

@Ashedryden, what high-pitched sound? Can't hear those these days…

[randomdamage@infosec.exchange]

@Ashedryden very little worse than a floor fan in the initial stages of bearing failure

[jes@labyrinth.zone]

@GuillaumeRossolini @Ashedryden I could guess it's coil wine from PWM of the display brightness or something
It's the only monitor I've ever heard doing that
tbf it's not a particularly high end monitor. it may be a 1440p freesync compatible 170Hz, but it's still a VA panel.

@Ashedryden It's usually a monitor or television everyone thinks is turned off BUT ISN'T.

@Ashedryden my neighbours had a malfunctioning (supposedly, I think it's just how they are) cat scarier and every time I went in our garden as a child for AGES that shit drove me mad

My parents couldn't hear it

Finally a friend was over and asked what the noise was.

Vindicated. Shit like that shouldn't exist.

@Ashedryden likely culprits:

* phone charger (unconnected to any phone)
* external PSUs for other electronic devices

@Ashedryden If you want to gaze in the face of true evil, google "Annoyatron"

[ertain@mast.linuxgamecast.com]

@Ashedryden I can sort of know the feeling.

@Ashedryden
Bonus: it's two different high pitched sounds, each of us noticed a different one

[furrybeta@shark.community]

@Ashedryden When I was little (<10) I couldn’t go into museums due to the security systems high pitched whines. Now, after teenage and college years spent going to rock concerts, loud bars, and 30+ years working in power plants. I still hear a high pitched whine, but now it’s just tinnitus
