I really only notice them when the rest of the room is silent. Otherwise my brain ignores the sound most of the time.

When my monitor is on stand-by the led slowly blinks and every time it turns on I can hear it. Aside from that, I don't think so.
Yes all the time
Everyone with fully functioning ears can hear it if they pay attention. Just a reminder to protect your hearing!
Inside your ear are hair cells that detect sound. You're born with the only hair cells you'll ever have, and damage to them is irreparable. Hair cells naturally sustain damage over time and people's hearing decreases as they age. This process is accelerated if someone constantly listens to things at loud volumes. So, maybe don't turn it up to 11!
Yes
I can’t of anything that makes an unwanted sound. Old CRT TVs used to, but I haven’t used one in years. My monitor at work makes a sound when it turns on or off (I believe there’s an ass-old fuse in there), but it makes no sound otherwise.
I’m still young and hear very well, as exemplified by my annoyance of half-closed bottles of carbonated drinks, which do make a sound.
My friends and I used to drive out to an area of the desert, away from people and the general noise of civilization. However, there were large power transmission lines going through the area and we could listen to them crackle in the night as we watched the stars. Just a nice way to relax and get away from it all.
I can hear my phone charging.
Not after I stopped buying cheap power supplies.
I have like 2 USB chargers that are really loud.
- Belkin travel surge protector
- 5-port USB hub
- wireless charger
Thankfully none else!
I did when I was younger but I don't hear it since I hit around 30
