Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space? (lemmy.world)

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?

My PC fucked with me with the coil whines.

Playing Metro Exodus with raytracing and shit? No noise.

Playing Grid 2, released over a decade ago? "Let me play you the song of my people"
