I’m curious, how many people are aware of these sounds. I have designed, etched, and built my own switching power supplies along with winding my own transformers. I am aware of the source of the noise. So, does anyone else hear these high frequency sounds regularly?

    Yes. I can hear to about 18kHz, so cheap USB chargers are no longer allowed in my house…

    Worse, the EV chargers I used to work with had PEMs switching at 10kHz for the US UL variants. EVERYONE could hear those!!

    Test your hearing range with this if you want…

    I used the 10kHz tone to annoy the eng dept in the office till they changed the PEM switching freq to 20kHz…
