As someone that can hear a lot of "ultrasonic" frequencies, I would not assume it would be quiet. Those ultrasonic occupancy sensors are TERRIBLE. Your "quiet" laptop might be worse since the sound would be continuous instead of loud bursts.
- noizz 3y agoYou are correct. LTT's coverage mentions that while it's not loud, it's a bit unpleasant due to high frequencies. Although things might get tweaked with case design probably. Regardless, I am super excited about this tech.

- rimunroe 3y agoI really wonder about what the impact of having a lot of these devices in a house with animals which can hear higher frequency ranges would be. Most (all?) rodents, cats, and--to a lesser extent--dogs all hear well into the ultrasonic range. I don't know if this is the sort of ambient noise that they'd habituate to easily or if it would cause constant stress.
