Not sure if this is the right community for this. If not, I’ll nuke it. Just looking for somewhere that isn’t world or ml now that autism.place is gone.

    i can relate to this. i can hear the electricity coursing thru the walls. lately it’s been so loud that it keeps me up at night. no one else hears it, but i do.

    i had to flip the breaker to the bedroom to quiet it down enough to sleep.

      Oh I hear that kind of stuff too! And like the charger blocks for phones and things, and everyone thinks I’m insane.

      Some days I can stand it or don’t even notice but other days it’s the auditory equivalent of sandpaper on my brain.

        I can hear my laptop’s screen refreshing for some reason, it doesn’t really bother me but it is weird.

          You might be hearing the coil/capacitor whine when the CPU/GPU has a surge of activity and suddenly pulls more power.

          Back in the day, on some computers, you could hear when someone was dragging a window across the screen. The larger the area being repainted, the louder the noise.

            I’ve noticed this happening when i get really really high FPS in a game. Like running something from 1998 on a modern system and hitting over 1000 FPS.

            Now I have my framerate capped externally so I’m not wasting power rendering thousands of frames for no reason.
