my non-crt tv has coil whine when it has to display something really bright, I'm not a fan of it (at all) but maybe you'd like it? Loads of things around me do it under load (the TV is an oled which is why it has to be bright). Video cards are a big one that I constantly notice if I turn off vsync or it's not working right.

Ooh, that does sound like something I'd enjoy. I haven't noticed my video card making any noises, as a copout I could say maybe it's masked by the fans, but more likely my hearing just isn't sensitive enough anymore.

I drive a golf cart at work regularly, and when I power it on the battery or whatever makes a distinctive little noise no one else hears so idk
