That sounds terrible. I'm very sensitive to inductor whine - I'm sure there are a few hotels who thought they had a schizophrenic guest based on the lengths I sometimes go through to unplug whiny power supplies in hotels - but not to the point of routinely hearing it under normal daytime conditions.
Have you considered moving to one of those places near a radio observatory where people aren't allowed to use electronics?
- ykonstant 2y agoI had tremendous problem with my landlord in Urbana about that; outside my apartment there was some electrical apparatus and the whine resonated throughout, but neither he nor his wife could hear it. I had to bring a couple of young neighbors to confirm that there was a noise and until this was done he really thought I had gone insane; the good thing was that after some adjustments by the electrician the noise stopped.
