bumping this thread kuz due to some strange acoustics there is a ticking in my house. its pretty fast ticking. but its not from inside and you cant hear it outside of a 2x2' zone which is where my computer is. i spent an hour trying to locate it today. i think im being targeted by the havana weapon. im actually losing my mind lmao

some part of your computer is making a ticking noise, i'd wager. bit of plastic intermittently getting clipped by a fan maybe?

I heard a weird ticking in my bedroom last night and it took me several minutes to track it down

turns out, I was hearing one of the AAA batteries in my tv remote rupturing, it was ticking a couple times per second

I took it out and wiped out the battery acid, hopefully it didn't do any lasting damage

wow crazy

the ticking is gone today. they are building apartments or something across the street during the week I think it’s related. stay tuned

i figured out the ticking. it was actually acoustics. theres construction dudes acorss the street and while i was sitting in my chair i could hear the nail gun twice with a perceptible delay, once from the left and once from the right. intrigued, i look out the window & was able to see the guy moving around up there so i watchhim and notice that if he moves a couple feet in either direction i can hear either the tool once from the left, twice from both sides but with lag, or only from the right when it bounces off an apartment building on the other side of my unit. pretty crazy. i can hear it very clearly from the bounce. kinda reminds of those cool dishes they had at astrocamp where you could whisper into it and hear it clear as day on the other dish really far away just via acoustics. makes u respect that kind of engineering in big concert venues and such

Thanks for the update. Have you considered that the Russian government may have built that apartment building it's bouncing off and that the construction worker may be a Cuban brain assassin?

insightful. it is indeed possble...............
