    Can you hear electronics hum? I can, especially when it’s quiet. Doing hearing tests, I would hear when they turned on the sound, but not be able to hear the actual sound. Idk what it is, but pretty sure it’s not ultrasonic sounds.

      I can, certain alarm clocks I can hear tick or my gtx 970 had a capacitor issue that I heard for awhile before it gave up. Certain ultrasonic dog toys and whistles I can hear as well. Fun fact on things humans shouldn’t technically be able to do you can also see infrared light under certain conditions.
