This somehow manages my monitor to make a high pitched sound. It's an LCD monitor. It's the actual monitor making the sound. Switching to a different window or tab makes the sound top. Taking a screenshot of the tab, and closing the tab but viewing the screenshot, produces the sound.

This is great. Reminds me of a certain kind of chain email that I would commonly receive from friends in the late 90s, although I imagine that they likely existed before that time as well.

You would get these emails that were thousands of lines long with ASCII characters all over the place. When you'd scroll, though, an animation would take form and you'd watch stuff bounce left and right across the screen and other effects similar to, but more primitive than, the effects demonstrated by this submission.

Same here, I first thought it was the gfx card's capacitors. They usually like doing that when I use things with pixel shaders (obviously a different thing but it reminded me).
