My partner got me a GPU a while back (oh my god I looked it up and it was ten years ago aaaaaaaaa) that was an incredible deal for its power, but had a TON of reports of coil whine. I was delighted to hear nothing from it the first few days of playing! Then it promptly died. To death. To shreds, even. ah well, it happens, better now than out of return period. I sent it back for a replacement and got another one, TERRIFIED its replacement would be an auditory nightmare after being lucky the first time.
I got lucky the second time, and it still works to this day!
I feel you on that one. Cotton balls don’t bother me, but I know that’s a nightmare for my mum. That and just the idea of
The Idea that some might not wanna think about
chewing tin foil
(I’m sorry to put that in anyone’s head if that bothers them oh god lemme spoiler that just in case) bothers her a ton but doesn’t really hit for me.
Electronic sounds can be a nightmare. I love CRTs but I can’t be around many of them because they hit my brain in The Bad Spot. One tiny benefit to my tinnitus is I’ve found a few CRTs that seem to have a similar/the same frequency so I can be around them when they’re on!
