Your comment mentions "during an experiment" - Is the > "high frequency noise" perceived in the quiet of the a.c. ? We do a lot of physiology experiments, i.e. we do a surgery and subsequent recordings, which go 24 hrs a day until teh animal dies. Which means, someone has to spend the nights with the animal. I hear a high frequency swish in both ears, not localized, when I enter the room, esp if I am tired (like at 4am, it is almost unbearable). I go in and out of the sound room a lot, so I have a lot of experience with the feeling of a deadened, quiet room.
