    That darn high frequency noise.

    I'm sitting here at my desk and I keep hearing that high frequency mosquito noise thing. But no one is around and it's driving me nuts.

    Just thought I'd share that.

    You must have sensitive hearing.

    I had a cricket in my office for two weeks. I almost went crazy.

    RAID (not the disk kind) took care of it though.

    I get the same thing. It has to do with the way your house is wired. I could never figure it out until one time I unplugged something from one of the outlets in the room, and the mosquito went away. Take a look at what other electrical device(s) is plugged in near your computer which would likely share the same circuit breaker.

    It happens on my CRT monitor when I run certain programs or visit certain sites.

    I've got sensitive hearing, but not painful. I'll pickup strange sounds late at night or early morning when there's nothing else going on. I got tested for white noise/tinitus a few years ago, but it came out clean.

    I know which sound you're talking about, sounds like a long-winded supercharger that's muffled whining up and staying at a certain speed, it's annoying.
