Hi everyone!
My big nerd project during Christmas break this year is playing with my Apple IIe Platinum - not counting a few random / "to be expected" glitches, it's all been working well and I'm having a blast. However: my 8yo son has informed me that whenever my AppleColor Composite Monitor IIe is powered on, he can hear a very high-pitched, very painful sound coming from it. I have some degree of hearing loss in both ears and I'm totally unable to hear any of the sound he's describing, but it's clearly painful enough for him that he's getting annoyed whenever I play on my Apple II.
A couple folks on Twitter commented that "they always did this" and maybe that's true and it's just been a while and I've forgotten... but if there's any strategy for eliminating (or even reducing) this hum, I'd be really interested.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions!
