Oh I hear that kind of stuff too! And like the charger blocks for phones and things, and everyone thinks I’m insane.
Some days I can stand it or don’t even notice but other days it’s the auditory equivalent of sandpaper on my brain.
Coil whine is probably what you are hearing, a lot of people physically can't hear it
I can hear my laptop's screen refreshing for some reason, it doesn't really bother me but it is weird.
You might be hearing the coil/capacitor whine when the CPU/GPU has a surge of activity and suddenly pulls more power.
Back in the day, on some computers, you could hear when someone was dragging a window across the screen. The larger the area being repainted, the louder the noise.
