I can hear my laptop’s screen refreshing for some reason, it doesn’t really bother me but it is weird.
I used to be able to hear powered up CRTs, but these days it’s just tinnitus.
I can still hear a CRT line scan (625×25=15625Hz for PAL)… but used to hear up to 21KHz, now I’m down to 17KHz. Which according to my otorhinolaryngologist means “perfect hearing”… and he’s unable to do anything about the super-high pitch tinnitus, around an octave higher, that doesn’t let me sleep at night.
@MelodiousFunk oh I still hear them for now, but I’msure I have some tinnitus too… diagnosed by the entire doctor as being a symptom on jaw pain that needs to be either address by a dentist or mandobidular specialist… the dentist is waiting for insurance approval for a mouthguard

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.
