I can hear that shit
Most people I've told never believe me, either! I think TVs are worse too, they got a slightly lower pitch I believe.
But I rarely turn my comp off, tho my monitor sleeps after 20 mins. I'll shut my PC off if I'm going out of town, though. Also I've always believed that it's best to keep your hard disks spinning -- they definitely have the lightbulb effect working against them. HDD's always seem to fail when spinning up or down -- I've never heard of a disk grinding to a halt after constantly spinning in a server for year(s) or more, for example....
