Do you often hear the ringing of switching power supplies and devices when you are in a quiet space? (lemmy.world)

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?

where I live now I think I hear it everytime I go into my dorm room that is very small sometimes it seems to sound way louder than other times and the sound seems to be easily drowned by other outside enviromental noises I have more experiences hearing that kind of sound but cant remember right now exact details
