I have trained myself to hear newonces like that since I owned a computer in
2001. and when in doubt I use a dynamic coil and amp both cheap and both you
can buy from radio shack. lol!
I also turned off my start up sound a few times using the app that I'm going to
post about tomorrow when the podcast gets uploaded as I'm asleep and I have my
mac do maintenance stuff and I don't want to hear the bong when I'm sleeping
lol!
Take care.
