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?

I remember sometimes waking up in the middle of the night and start noticing/hearing a loud as fuck deep humming sound that seems to have some kind of hearthbeat if I just stand laying on bed doing nothing, I have lived in totally different places and I remember hearing the exactly same sound sometimes at night I just seem to notice that happens the same day I would go hiking to certain place, everytime I notice the sound at night it feels like the sound is leaking itself through the walls and reverbs like being inside something like a water pipe

Could you be hearing the Hum?

Edit. This article implies that people can't hear it, but many people can, and, while it causes a mild annoyance with most of those that can hear it, it has caused severe disturbances in others.
