That’s easily tested though, right? As you can just change rooms and it’s gone.

Coil whine is in a lot of places though. I was going to say follows us everywhere, but there are some places still without it. If you're particularly sensitive, it can be a problem.

One of the blessings of old age is my frequency response curve has diminished and it's been a long time since I went into a shop or a restaurant and noped out because of coil whine. But I did stay at a hotel recently with a noisy usb outlet in the headboard. I was able to block that out with the notepad, thankfully.
