Do you run a laundrette?  ::)

Fatality waits in the wings
Surrounded by fools behind walls that are breached
Beware of the jester that sings"

Yeah, how did you know? :zoinks:

Coffee machine. People walking by my office. Doors opening and closing. Servers running. My own computer's sounds.

Whatever video game is currently being played upstairs has incidental music even gloomier than that found on Metroid Prime: Corruption. I wouldn't have thought that possible!  :facepalm2:

I hear my computer's humming and the crunching of the Pepperidge Farm Bordeaux cookies I am ill-advisedly eating at 3:13 a.m.!  :zoinks:

Parrots, magpies and cockatoos screeching in the trees. The jingle of my cat's bell.

The sound of my grey feline visitor washing herself.

I was hearing my computer, but now it's being drowned out by the sound of the refrigerator running!

Are you a continuous sufferer or only now and then?

A high-frequency whine coming from my LCD monitor.  It makes this noise even when it's on standby.  It also produces a loud 50hz mains-frequency buzz when I turn the brightness down.  Also a slight hissing from the charger for my toothbrush and the rumble-whooshing of traffic outside. 

On the plus side, I no longer hear so much as a whisper from the rest of my computer, since I put it in an adjacent room and made a hole in the wall for cables to go through, and also have quieter components in it now.
