Computer Noises

Just discovered another sound I had never heard before, the computer's fan. I heard a constant stream of a high-pitched noise and asked Paul about it. First, he said it was the ice maker. I didn't think it was that because it didn't sound like ice crashing. As soon as the sound stopped, I told Paul it stopped.

He said it was the computer fan coming on and shutting off. Wow. Two things within a couple of hours. I guess it pays to be in a quiet room when a new sound appears. When you have three kids, it drowns out any possibility of hearing new sounds since they know how to get all the attention including with their voices.

Yes, sounds like that are amazing once you discover them. My PC is on all day and night, but I can only hear the fan at night - when all other surrounding sounds are gone.

The backside is that it now seems I cannot overhear it anymore when entering the room at night. It's there to stay.
