Does anyone else hear random high frequency sounds?

I'm going to wager a guess and say that I have something like this too. In fact, I can hear the TV right now. But it doesn't bother me at all if I just focus on something else.
I can hear it when it's totally silent, but that's usually why I sleep with a fan or my TV on. Makes it easier to sleep.
Kinescope based TVs/monitors can cause that. If you hear the high-pitched sounds when you're certain there's no source of it around, you should see a doctor, it could indicate ear damage (caused for example by using headphones that go too deep in the canal).
I think it comes from the fridge
It's the sound of the blood rushing in your head. I have it alot too. When I mention it my mom thinks i'm skitzophrenic.
I have this. Only it doesn't go away, it is constant, and I don't know if its just me concentrating on it unintentionally or what, but I think its getting louder. It makes it very hard to sleep, and I usually have to ask people repeat what they said 3 or 4 times to fully hear what they say. And even then after those 3 or 4 times of asking, if I still don't understand, I just grunt, or nod my head. I went to an ear doctor, and apparently there was nothing wrong. This damn sound does not stop and it is very annoying.
I hear one right now from my monitor :ohdear:
I had this and fixed it.
Just stop listening to loud stuff or stuff through [B]headphones[/B] before you go to bed.
I also got exploding head syndrome from that lol.

That happened way back when I had a desktop (not saying desktops are bad) whenever I'd turn the monitor off. I get that now from the charge cord for my phone whenever I unplug my phone from it. It's annoying.
I used to have to unplug all the stuff in my room before going to bed a long time ago because they'd make ringing noises while still being plugged in but not on for some reason I want try to hypothesize about. Doesn't happen with any of my current stuff (it's all different now, moved and stuff). Edit: According to the above user's wikipedia link, what I just described is called "electrical arcing".
YES! it is weird as.
I get it 24/7. Just right now, if I concentrate, I can hear it.
But sometimes it's louder, then, usually, if I'm not alone someone says "Do you guys also hear that?"

Dude, this is me. It NEVER goes away. One time I biked to an Asian restaurant to get some dinner, and I ordered it to-go so I could sit outside and keep an eye on my bike since I don't have a lock for it. When they gave me my food, the very cute cashier or whatever asked me a question three times but I couldn't understand so I just said "no" and walked out. When I sat on the bench to eat I realized I had nothing to eat it with, and she was asking if I wanted chopsticks. I hate not being able to hear anyone.
no, but i hear my name being called when im the only one in my home besydes my dog fluffy. "travis" id got look and no one would be their i thing im goin insane
This noise is from some of the components of electronics.
They are everywhere.
If you turn absolutely all electronics around you off, it will go away.
Not sleep, off.
Tinnitus
Stop listening to music so loud. At least thats what I was told by the doctor.
It's like a grenade went off next to me
When I vacationed up in Upstate New York, I heard it a lot. But when I came back to California, the sound stopped. Weird.
I get it too, but in my case its always caused by electronic objects like my tv or speakers.
[QUOTE=MightyHaku;23199788]I think it's something to do with blood pressure, I go lightheaded and hear a slight high pitched tone when I get up too quickly in the morning.[/QUOTE]
I have that kind of whistling sound too. Once when we had Physical Education in school, I went so lightheaded I had to sit down. But then our teacher, the b*tch said to me that either I get up or she gives me an F :smith: I ignored her and went to drink.
It also happens when we play tag with my GF and her sister, when I run out of nitro (The way I say energy) I hear a really, REALLY high pitch noise in the back.
But, regardless of lightheadedness, it occurs minimum 4 times in a year. Max 11 times.

Exactly.
did it sound like this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM8Fy50FMDI[/media]
[QUOTE=eXistys;23199636]I know that a high frequency is caused by the TV, though you would only really notice it of you concentrate on it. For the rest, deal with it.[/QUOTE]
I can sense that kind of noise quite well. I can tell if a TV is on from a good bit away.
Also, as for OP's question, I believe it's called tinnitus.

The christ? Epic sexism. Apparently guys cant be ear doctors.[/QUOTE]
That is such terrible logic.
By that, if it said "He", it would also be considered sexism according to you.
Although, these people should of said "The Doctor" or something, sexism is discriminating, you are finding a hidden clause that shouldn't mean anything and over-exaggerating it, same goes for racism on most of this forum. Stop.

Awh, you'll eventually hit puberty :unsmith:
Occasionally I will have a sudden, piercing ringing in my head lasting at most 2 seconds before the ringing begins to decline.
It's instantaneous and without warning like a spy with a Deadringer :v: The ringing blasts could occur at night, during the day, with or without silence-
the surroundings can even be peaceful, non-stress-inducing-- and then...

(I don't even listen to loud music, and my headset is always turned down)
It happens to everyone, get over it.
Apparently its the cells on or in your ear drum dying and whatever pitch you hear, you will never hear again.
