I say this as someone that also has to work from home in close quarters with a toddler and other family members: it might be useful to invest in a way to quickly toggle yourself on and off mute. There’s been a lot of background noise (kids, dishes being done, etc.) lately. I get how hard it is, but having a physical mic mute button for me has made a huge difference.
@brad: I definitely hear the high pitched whine too. Sounds like electrical interference or some sort of noisy wire especially when Jeff is talking. You can really hear it during the fallout discussion. Maybe even noise from the processor in someone’s machine? My first gen intel MacBook had that problem many years ago.
