I want to throw in another thing to test. If you only hear it in one spot and you’ve checked everything else go buy a carbon monoxide detector and take it where you sit. It can cause hallucinations.

If you’re hearing something you need to know the range you can hear and this gives an idea of frequency. As someone said above unplug and reboot everything. https://youtu.be/-E1SDl9vLo8

Edit: there’s a 30000 hz tone teens can hear. Now I’m going to throw in there’s a sleep thing where you might here noises that aren’t there right when dozing off and waking up. I mention because it’s common. It’s annoying. A lot of people have it. Here’s the name. It’s not a mental disorder. Stick Earplugs in and see if you still hear it. hypnogogic hallucinations

Also grab a different set of headphones.

it’s in the bedroom… replacing a brik with mortar would make a mess. Masonry drill + rawplug + screw a diameter of 5 or 6 mm should be sufficient; mark the spots (you need 2 anchoring points) drill the holes, use the vacuum cleaner to suck out the dust from the freshly drilled holes and put the rawplug in. After that, put the shelf into position and add the screws in from the inside of the cabinet - voilla!

Does it not have places to screw through from the interior of the cabinet into a wall?

If it does I'd put another 7cm board up on the wall with concrete anchors and construction adhesive then screw the cabinet into that from inside. That would be a pretty permanent installation though.

You could just use concrete anchors into the wall attached to a hook or metal loop just use more than 1 they can fail over time if it's just 1 and it's jostled frequently. That way if you move it just patch the holes in the mortar or replace 1 brick.

What you’re experiencing are paranoid delusions. You are not being gaslit. There are no hackers trying to mess with you. Focus on getting mental health care and potentially medication.

Unplug everything. Unplug every cord from every end. Then plug it all back in. This way you can rule out loose connections as a potential cause.

Is your bedroom the only place you hear this? Test the same electronics in other rooms (or even at someone else's home) to make sure.

Are your current electronics the only electronics producing this noise? Buy/rent/borrow similar electronics that have never been in your home before and test them in both the bedroom and other rooms to be sure.
