Even though I&#8217;m completely deaf at some frequencies &#8211; generally when she&#8217;s talking to me &#8211; I can zero in to some noises and begin to obsess about them. Which is what has been happening. I know that some of our power adapters have an electric hum to them. That&#8217;s not it. Sometimes the cat water pump has air in it. That&#8217;s not it. It is a very directional noise, coming from the kitchen area. I&#8217;ve ruled out that it&#8217;s not electric or coming from an appliance by turning off the breakers to most of the front part of the apartment. It could be the building ventilation, but I can&#8217;t think where it&#8217;s coming from. It&#8217;s not coming from Bean&#8217;s cartoons. It&#8217;s not coming from the fish tanks, laptop adapters, phone and tablet chargers, lights, fluorescents, taps&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>I JUST KNOW IT&#8217;S DRIVING ME MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> Well, shiiiiiit.
