hmmm.... never heard that one. I have heard solid state electronics
squeal, such as capacitors. Some people can't even hear the squeals...
women seem to be better at hearing the high frequencies. I hear them,
though maybe I just am more sensitive to high freq than most men. Not
exaclty a blessing... I have a harder time with conversations where
there is a lot of background noise. I can remember back when my dad had
a computer shop in the 80's. I would mention some of the monitors made
noises but most the other guys didn't hear it, though the girls almost
all did.
