At the risk of taking my own thread too seriously, I see Easingwold Town Council was told at a meeting last year of 15 complaints of disorder, mostly relating to youths by the look of it, given that Youth Dispersal Orders were mentioned as a solution.
The coppers were talking about bringing reinforcements from Thirsk.
It all has the ring of 'Heartbeat', but no doubt is serious for the affected residents.

Yes I found I had an annoying whine in my car so I stopped & asked my wife to get out.

It was the whistle from the line output (or flyback) transformer. 25 frames a second of 625 lines, so 15.625 kHz. That sound used to annoy me a lot when I was young but my hearing loss is so bad that I can barely hear 1/3 of that frequency now.
I nearly deafened my colleagues once ... I had a 100W/channel amp hooked up to some big monitor speakers and was working on a digital audio system. One of my workmates came running over to me with his fingers in his ears and screaming at me to turn that effing noise off. I was completely unaware that my audio system had crashed and was sending a very loud high-pitched whistle through the speakers!

Not as annoying as the continual drumbeat of misogyny on cc.....

That's the price one pays for geekery

That'll be the drone from the groups of elderly staff gassing to each other.

[QUOTE 5031382, member: 45"]Whenever I go into our Homebase with one or both of the boys, they complain about the painful high-pitched sound in there. I've spoken to the manager and he said that it's not a mosquito.[/QUOTE]
I had that experience in a music shop in Manchester in the mid-1980s when my 30-year-old ears could still hear high-pitched tones. I complained to the manager and he told me that the shop had an ultrasonic burglar alarm and he had forgotten to turn it off ...
I was watching some tech videos on YouTube while typing this and by an amazing coincidence one has just appeared in the 'Recommended' list which is about high frequency hearing loss in older adults!

There's an argument (isn't there always?) in hi-fi circles that an expensive system is wasted on an older person because that person cannot hear the frequency range the system reproduces.

Some parts of this thread didn't make much sense.
Then I unblocked it and can see the irritating mosquitos are swarming.

Ignore people, or don't. Trumpeting about who you have on ignore is poor etiquette - even without naming them.Some parts of this thread didn't make much sense.
