Only some things. Like a TV or a speaker. Even when nothing is playing or they’re muted, there’s like this high pitched whine coming from them. A busted GPU in a PC makes a similar sound, though louder (coil whine). I sometimes feel like Quark that time he kept hearing shit in the shuttle with Odo and it turned out to be a bomb or something.

Does anyone else hear every electronic device and feel a wave of comfort when the power goes out?

One of the first times i tripped i saw all this purple dots coming off my tv that was turned off. It was very distracting, so i unpluged my tv and it faded away in like a minute.

What were you tripping on?
Breezy@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I believe it was gel tab acid.

Neat. Makes sense

I don’t hear most of it consciously but I do feel the wave of comfort.
I think it is mostly the Fridge. That thing loud AF and is always making noise.

Do you hear your phone too when its doing nothing?
Syd@lemm.ee 7 months ago
It makes a sound before text messages or calls come in, sometimes other random clicking housing sorts of noise? I almost always pick it up before any sound plays or vibration happens as a result. Constant sound? Not that I notice, but I’m around it 24/7

You have a 6th sense…

Starting to wonder, I’m talking about hearing even electricity in the wires. It’s hard to exactly explain it, but it’s like a pressure on my eardrums and sensation in my head. It’s not a distinct sound like a refrigerator, just a presence. There’s different pitches for different devices too, oven burners are a low hum where led lightbulbs are a shrill whine.

Can you feel my wifi?
Syd@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yep: and it’s pretty, pretty disgusting.

My hearing isn’t sharp enough to hear EVERY electronic device, but idling vehicle engines and noisy refrigerators do this to me.
