I’m ordering a bunch of these things. When I moved into a new apartment once I spent an hour digging through boxes trying to find an annoying beep (cordless phone). It was maddening!
Beautiful!

“Dude, why is your ass beeping?”
Heh heh.
I was sitting in my office one day, and I noticed a high pitched whine/vibration which I could not localize. It was loud enough to bug me and I eventually turned off my computer and my office mate’s computer, and after a few minutes more of careful listening I discovered that I had put a light bulb in a coffee cup and the vibrations in the building itself had driven a resonance in the bulb-cup arrangement. Removing the bulb stopped the sound, putting it back in resulted in the sound restarting- but only after a period of silence while the bulb worked itself back into the resonant state.
