Electrical Frequencies

Does anyone else on here wake up to a loud rapid pulse sound that other people do not hear? This has happened a few times to me, most recently last night. I woke up from a sound sleep to this loud sound and woke my wife up. After a few minutes the sound fades away. The last time this happened I traced the sound to a Google Mini device I'm listening mode. At work I hear voltage surges when computer jobs are being run.

My wife thinks this is all imagined, and not real.

I can hear my SSD in my computer. SSDs are not supposed to make noise, but mine always has. And I've had this computer for years - the drive isn't faulty.

Electricity is NOISY. Most people aren't aware of it, it just fades into the cacophony of background noise that we're all subjected to day in and day out, if our ears are capable of picking it up at all. But the vibration of electricity moving though a circuit is definitely noisy.

As for your Google Mini device though - a loud popping sound could indicate a fault. Are you sure the device is OK? Is it overheating?

I've heard arcing inside switches and breakers several times in this building and likely saved the building from fire just because I a) happened to hear it and b) knew what it was (I study electrical stuff as a hobby - it's one of my special interests.)

Don't discount your hearing or your instinct - you're definitely not crazy.

I don't think the Google mini is defective. Regarding the electrical surge sounds at work, one other guy who is also autistic hears the loud piercing sound.
 
I seem to hear things other people cannot or do not notice. When I turn the electric oven or stove burners on there's a high pitched barely discernible sound, that seems to stop after ten minutes or so.

Once worked near a closed closet type panel, that held all the electrical connections and phone connections for that particular floor. The high pitched buzzing and shrill noise that came from the panel gave me headaches and eventually nausea. Luckily, we were moving offices at the time, and it lasted for two months.

There's a place I used to stop at, during my cycling trips. Overhead are eight hydro-electric towers. It seems to be a hub of some sort. Within a very short time, I would get headaches while stopping there. I noticed that there were very few insects or birds or small mammals living in the low bushes there. They seemed to pass through the area, but move on almost immediately.

If I touched the metal of my bike there, I would get electrial shocks each time. And someone had pushed long burned out flourescent tubes into the sand there. At night they light up dimly.
 
I've read that cats can hear electricity flowing through the wires inside a wall so it is feasible to me that people with supersensitive hearing can hear it, too.

During the process of getting diagnosed I was sent to a sleep specialist who determined that I did not have a sleep disorder causing my insomnia. My sleep issues were attributed to hypersensitivity to sounds and light. It's like my brain acts like a receiver tuning into digital frequencies when I sleep.
 
I tend to hear low frequency electrical hums in my bedroom, but then the breaker box is nearby in that section of my apartment. At least the EMF readings are not anything to be concerned about. As far as high frequencies go, my tinnitus makes it prominent in my right ear most of the time.
 
Electrical appliances always make annoying sounds but no one ever seems to hear them. I just keep them off if I can.
 
Think l hear certain frequencies. But it doesn't upset me. But l have unplugged appliances if they are too sporadic with turning on and off. I have been so bombarded with noise, now l think it's normal. But l think l enjoy living alone because l am in charge of the noise. So l have periods of silence like a monastery. I must have been a nun in a former life. I have taken the vow of silence which means l don't want to answer my phone, and don't knock on my door. Lol.

I can hear electricity now, it's nearly always audible, it's humming and whirring from a number of directions. OoooowoooOooowooooOoooWooo, it goes. All the time in the background and especially at night.
 
I have to turn off most of our electrical outlets at night as I can hear the devices on standby mode.

Little ticks and hums that are really annoying.
 
I am extremely sensitive to magnetic fields. Like when I was getting radiation therapy for my cancer, I could feel the machine powering up. Every day for a month, when it powered up, it felt like intense static electricity, I even got a little static shock from it. When I asked the techs, the dr, and even other patients about it, they said that they never felt anything, and that it's not a common response.

Also I can tell if there's a solar flare or coronal mass ejection from the sun, because my skin gets really crawly. I can't get still. I check spaceweather.com, and sure enough, there is some kind of geomagnetic storm or coronal hole that day.

Also if it's very quiet in the house, I hear a high "whine" that no one else can hear. It's the electricity. I also hear it if I sit near a power plug.

Also, as I'm typing this, the keys on my computer, which are really just making little click sounds, are so loud to me that it's almost deafening. It hurts my ears with these high pitched clinks. It's like someone is hitting the highest key on the piano repeatedly.
 
I can hear low level humming from most electrical appliances that are on or on standby, and the phone makes a sound before it starts to ring. My desktop speakers make a high pitched whining which drives me nuts! I'm listening to music a lot of the time, and that drowns out such sound. also as a middle-aged person my ears no longer pick up really high frequencies. I hear these sounds, but I don't think I hear any better than anyone else, the main problem is that I can't filter them out and ignore them like most other people do - so I notice them where others don't and they bug me.
 
I sit in the kitchen and hear the ticking of five clocks in various other rooms plus the one in the kitchen.
It's a large house too.
I can't sleep with one in my bedroom.

I know those electric towers are bad for you physically too. That's why wildlife doesn't stay around them.
It is warned not to live too close to them. The EMF affects your physical and energy body.
And I've always noticed that is where they are putting apartment complexes and townhomes!
Right at the edge of the cleared swath of grass around them.

I can hear the electricity in the walls if I pay attention. But, I have through the years, learned to
block it out. When I really notice it is if the power suddenly goes off from a storm, breaker, or electrical
problems in the area.
Then I not only suddenly hear the sound of silence, I can actually feel it.
If I'm asleep it will wake me.
