Could you hear the tone?
Yes, I heard it clear as day all the time.
Nope. Never even knew they emitted such a tone.
OP is a dumb smelly poop butt.

And you don't remember what I said here, either, but it was pompous and stupid.

Don't put high volume high frequency noises near your ear. It's supposed to be super bad for your hearing, even if perceptually it's barely audible.

really? i just spent a minute or two listening to that web site through my headphones. lol thanks something awful forums. stand by for the lawsuit jeffery. (I got to about 15,200 Hz before I stopped being able to hear it btw, no idea whether the quality of my headphones is a limiting factor. I could hear the whine of a CRT on standby when I was a kid.)

When I was in school I recall one physics lesson where they played us some educational video, and the teacher left the tv switched on afterwards. After about 5 minutes one of the other kids asked him if he could switch it off because the whine was a distraction, and the teacher was super surprised that they could hear it. Well not surprised exactly, I think the question just caught him off guard, he found it amusing.
