High-pitched buzzing/humming noise from above
Comments (3)No idea, I'm afraid. Does the noise bother you? Do you want them to stop making it? If that's the case, then go upstairs while the noise is happening and ask them nicely to please stop making it. Or only do it earlier in the day, or whatever solution will work for you. "I don't know what you are doing, but that noise I mentioned last week? It's happening now. Could you please figure out what is causing it and stop it? Thank you." Bear in mind that in some apartment buildings, noise travels strangely. What seems to be directly overhead might actually be on one side, or upstairs and over one unit, something like that. But if you go up while the noise is happening, you will be able to hear if it is coming from that unit or not. Or you could just live with it. Once I had upstairs neighbors who apparently dropped a bowling ball on their living room floor every night about 10 pm. Big thud of something falling, followed by a rolling noise. I never did figure out what it was, but it wasn't annoying enough to bother with trying to get it stopped....See Morehigh pitched scrill
Comments (14)Generally those universal power supplies scream for a reason. The obvious reason is when the power goes out. The other possibility (depending on the sophistication of the unit) when the power is out of preset parameters to warn you something is amiss. If it is indeed a APC (brand) power supply they have the ability to connect to your computer via a USB cable and a free software provided by APC. That software should give you the status of the unit. As an aside, when the power goes out APC's software calculates the remaining battery life. When the battery level reaches a certain point the software does an orderly shutdown of Windows, which can prevent a host of problems. It's a good feature to have enabled and well worth the cost of a USB cable....See MoreNew Refrigerator making high pitch noise
Comments (5)Its the compressor. They make noise. Perhaps you're more sensative to it than some people. I worked in a showroom with a lot of very expensive refrigerators and was showing a guest around. We were near a couple Sub-Zeros and he said boy those are really loud. I said huh? I had never noticed anything....See MoreNew Viking fridge making a high-pitched whining noise..
Comments (15)We bought our Viking Pro in 2006.... Its still running great.... we have had the " noise" for all of these years. Our household has gotten used to it. But, visitors( such as our wallpaper hanger) have been very bothered by it. Our wallpaper guy thought it sounded like a stuck car horn in the distance somewhere. It drove him batty....See MoreJakvis
