You absolutely can, it's just a bit more work. It would help to make it look a lot less like an office

As a house owner, the nice flat led panels are SO much more expensive, at least where I live. No thanks.
Although I use flatter ones without nipples, just big enough to fit a standard light bulb or two.
Even when using two ZigBee bulbs, it's still way cheaper than the flat panels.

That's why GFCI's are usually used in hot tubs, to detect ground faults. If you're not getting any luck finding an AFCI/GFCI for this purpose, it might be better to use two 120v GFCIs in series.

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.

Use steel strapping band, cut to needed length and afix to the inside of the shelf with screws, onto the wall with rawlplugs and screws.

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!

I’m working on both of those but am experiencing gaslighting, physical things happen such as returning home and furniture being broken.

Ah. Yes, they will do that, but they should be easy to clean and lubricate. Something like WD40 should help. It may be very simple if you have the cover plates off.

Man I wish I had that crap in mine. Mine was built using 2x4 and drywall. Would be easier to take out then mine. I also have the original high ceilings above my drop ceilings. Holes everywhere of course. .

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.

Just my 2cents... I suggest water tight metal flex conduit. Metal flex conduit with a plastic wrap. Probably use four #6 wires, black, red, white, green for a 50 amp breaker.

Looks like i could have replaced the deadbolt keeping the rest of the assembly. But lets see if smart locks provides more convinience

Yeah i think breaking eufy smart lock is not that hard. The outer plastic will break with a hammer.
The old lock was getting stuck and was hard to open with key

What’s the back of the shelving unit look like? Every time I’ve seen/done something like this the bottom of the unit can be scribed against the skirting and therefore get flush up to the wall
