high frequency sound

The art of troubleshooting At least you now know the problem.

Capacitors are the only things I know of that may make this sound as a byproduct. It's simply the sound of a capacitor rapidly charging.

Have you ever used a disposable camera? The single cap in there also makes a high pitch sound when you're charging the flash. Some other items where you might hear sound from would be CRTs (very high-voltage caps) and fluorescent lights (start-up circuit).

Once you get older, you won't be able to hear high frequency sounds as well. I think it happens to a lesser degree with women though; hence why your mom can hear it.

My vote is on the PSU; I've had two PSUs that do that and have heard of a lot of other people's PSUs that have also.

Try swapping out PSUs, luckily those aren't that expensive these days...
