Same thing used to happen to my old monitor. Eventually, something inside it burned out and my monitor wouldn't work. Maybe the same thing is happening to yours too.

Like a TV does. I have a monitor that does that. Some people can hear it, some people cant. I can hear it very good. I used to make teacher laugh because I would yell "Turn that TV off" before entering a classroom because I could hear it from down the hall (Our morning announcments where on channel 3 for us, after that, the screen turned black, and the TV appaired to be off, but still made the high pitched noise.) Lazy teachers would not turn the TV off after the annoucments.

Lol, I can hear it too! Maybe we're mutants with increased hearing ability...Thatz not much of a fun power...

It depends on how good your hearing is... if your eardrums can vibrate fast enough to capture the sound waves at that high a frequency, then you can hear it. If your eardrums are too inflexible, though (i.e. your hearing is degraded, either from too much loud noise or just age in general) then they won't be able to vibrate as fast as the sound waves hit them. The eardrum keeps getting pushed back by a "front" of the wave, and doesn't have time to snap back into place, so it gets pushed by the next sound wave first. Your eardrum effectively isn't vibrating, so you don't hear the noise.
Isn't physics great? =) And in case you're wondering, I can hear the noise... it's very annoying. Luckily my hearing isn't quite sensitive enough to hear it all the time - I only hear the TV, and only when it's on but receiving no data. |
Yeah, I can hear my monitor all the time, but I've learned to live with that, but occasionally it does it a bit louder and it's annoying. I can tell if a T.V. is on anywhere in the house by the noise too, a childhood of quiet reading and not bothering with concerts paid off!

I can't hear it most of the time (thank God!), but frequesntly I hear it and I just want to go to bed and wrap all my pillows (8 last I checked) around my head to see if that created a sound proof area.... The sound is annoying when I here it.
I'm not quite sure why I hear it sometimes and not at others. I try not to pay too much attention. For years I thought that the sound was only some deep desire to drive myself insane! |
.. o_O
How does a monitor screech? Must be pretty annoying. :o
