Does anyone else hear every electronic device and feel a wave of comfort when the power goes out?

My hearing isn't sharp enough to hear EVERY electronic device, but idling vehicle engines and noisy refrigerators do this to me.

Only some things. Like a TV or a speaker. Even when nothing is playing or they're muted, there's like this high pitched whine coming from them. A busted GPU in a PC makes a similar sound, though louder (coil whine). I sometimes feel like Quark that time he kept hearing shit in the shuttle with Odo and it turned out to be a bomb; hearing a faint thing no one else does until I pinpoint the source and turn it off.

Do you hear your phone too when its doing nothing?

It makes a sound before text messages or calls come in, sometimes other random clicking hissing sorts of noise? I almost always pick it up before any sound plays or vibration happens as a result. Constant sound? Not that I notice, but I'm around it 24/7

You have a 6th sense...

Starting to wonder, I'm talking about hearing even electricity in the wires. It's hard to exactly explain it, but it's like a pressure on my eardrums and sensation in my head. It's not a distinct sound like a refrigerator, just a presence. There's different pitches for different devices too, oven burners are a low hum where led lightbulbs are a shrill whine.

Can you feel my wifi?

Yep: and it's pretty, pretty disgusting.
