    I think you need to setup a video camera in your room. Just in case.

    ^ word, after all the things you've done such as turning off laptop and what not, maybe its some paranormal activity. Or perhaps you have some stalkers just creeping you out with a hidden camera..

    I have it as my ringtone for my work email (IT.) Whenever it rings, it sends chills down people's spines.

    This just came to mind - I have powerpacks (like laptop chargers, etc) that make this noise very faintly. Not exactly the same as the classic net noise, but a very similar high fluctuating pitch noise.

    Yeah, I'd unplug everything and see. The list of things that make odd but very faint noises in my house:

    - speaker hum (I have a lot of speakers...)
    - power supplies
    - printer
    - Shaw digital terminal
    - light bulbs
    - pretty much anything with a flashing LED
    - fridge/freezer
    - furnace
    - hot water tank

    etc...

    Nice, I will try it for a bit. I miss the sound. My favourite is the low pitch "ba dumm...ba dumm..." part.

    I would think it could be possible to get suck noises from a receiver. Bell Expressview or something. Another way to check is start hitting the breaker switches. Turn off the house 1 room at a time.

    It also could be any power adapters (comps, tv, game consoles, shit like that). Smoke detectors, Carbon monoxide detectors. When i lived at home, there was a lamp that i could hear all the time. Pissed me off constantly.

    Have you considered that there may be surveillance equipment mounted in your ceiling recording you masturbate? It then phones in to the mothership to upload the video when you're done.

    Seriously, I'd double-check and make sure your fax machine is completely disconnected.
