I’m curious, how many people are aware of these sounds. I have designed, etched, and built my own switching power supplies along with winding my own transformers. I am aware of the source of the noise. So, does anyone else hear these high frequency sounds regularly?

    Yep. I was told I’d stop hearing it as I got older but I turn 40 next month and I still hear it.

      Age related hearing loss can actually make you more sensitive to certain sounds. I have difficulty understanding speech but increased sensitivity to sounds including electrical buzzing.

        Oh no I was so looking forward to just a little bit of hearing loss to finally stop hearing all these noises around me :-(
