Does anyone else notice the noise?

Yeah, i hear them. mabye it’s because i have super ultra hearing though.

I hear a noise from a fluorescent bulb that makes noise when it is in the socket, and y’know, working.

I have a fluorescent lamp over my drafting table that makes the same noise.I usually have music blasting so I can’t hear it—but I know it’s theeeeerrrrreeee—;)

I heard that noise all through high school. Even if there was a bulb in the socket, I could still hear it all damn day. I’m not sure why it does it, but it does. And I want to rip it out of the ceiling.

Yes, I hear it, bulb in or not. @rangerr like you I heard it all though school, irritated me a lot.
I also hear the TV when it isn’t on and anything plugged in with an instant on feature.
Am I ultra sensitive? I don’t know.

I always figured perhaps power going through electrical equipment can make a kind of ringing noise but if your equipment is still making noise and its not plugged in than it might be you just have ringing in the ear.

I only notice it when it’s plugged in. If it is turned off but has an instant on, like most TVs nowdays, then I hear the buzzing/ringing.

I used to hear them, but I don’t think my hearing’s as good as it used to be.

I hear the “mmmmmmmmm” when it’s turned on and then off I also hear the ”eeeeeeeeeeee it makes untill it cools off… Is that the sound?

I hear that “eeeeeeeeeeeee” sound from nearly all electronics that are plugged in.
When the power goes out at my house, the silence is bliss.

@phil196662 Yep. the second one.

Inside the bulb you are likely hearing the capacitor discharging too- And do you hear a mouse too?
