This first one is an easy question for me. Nobody else seems to be bothered by TVs hissing to themselves on standby. Nobody else notices that fridge compressor that squeals when you leave the door open. I'm usually first to notice drips, leaks, animals, equipment left running. I used to be bothered by bat calls, and that's supposedly inaudible to humans.
That's a Definitely Agree for me.
"What do you mean the thermostat clicks when it engages and that wakes you up?"
"How can you not hear it??"
Some species do partially chirp into the human audible range. But yeah it still requires moderately good hearing.
Thanks, that's actually quite validating to know. I'm not sure if hearing is even the right word - I'd just notice I was flinching as if there were a loud noise, and then - hey, there's bats outside. Getting older now, so I think I'm cured of that at least.
I'm not the only one that can hear electricity then?
