The monitor is the only component I've ever heard make a noise. Most of the time, it's inaudible.

I paused just now to try to hear it, but I hear cicadas and an aircraft in the distance. The aircraft has passed and I hear my next door neighbor's air conditioner. And now there's a break in traffic a quarter mile away and I can finally hear that familiar hum of my monitor. This is with my windows closed.

If I thought about all these noises, I'd go crazy trying to eliminate them all.
