It's sort of like having a fly buzz around you, which certainly is
unsettling to me. BUt as you said, when you are using it yourself you don't
notice it the same way. My X-wife used to make me go in another room when I
was using it.

Subject: the Optacon Buzz
Optacon users are busy responding to the buzz. We feel it as well as hear
it and I don't think it bothers us for that reason. If it were a steady
buzz, a sound that continued at the same pitch and level all the time, I
think most people could tune it out. As it is, the intermitent nature of
the buzz would be annoying to some people. Others would have a legitimate
auditory problem with it. I know that because I could never sit anywhere
near a photocopy machine. The hum of the thing did something inside my
head. I could operate a copy machine and it did not bother me, but I
couldn't sit next to one for any extended period.
I summary, some people who are not directly using the Optacon might find
the buxx unsettling because of something in their auditory mechanisms.
