This is more than just annoying - after spending several hours or days listening to a single frequency at high volume, people go deaf at that frequency. I think I've got a permanent hearing impairment at the frequencies that my various monitors have screamed at. After sitting in front of my $800 Compaq monitor at work all day, I hear a steady hissing in my ears after I leave work. It's a bit much.
