Oh, I can hear the fan and the normal hard drive noises. Do you remember
older TVs that sometimes put out a high frequency whine when the screen was
mostly white, then it would sound normal when darker colors took over?
That's why I tend to think the high-pitched sound was related to the video
even though I couldn't hear it. The youngest guy who was the most annoyed
by the sound stood by it and told me to power it off, and as soon as it went
off, he said it stopped. For me, again, nothing. Weird. The only other
person who didn't hear the sound was in my office at the time and he was
just as surprised as I was at everyone's reaction. I really thought at
first it was a joke. It would make a good April fools day joke to pull on
someone though.
