I take back my previous observations. I was at work and did not have
access to headphones (one of those days). Now I'm at home, it's 1 AM,
very quiet, and I notice the following:

 * on speakers: the click reproduces but with _very_ low amplitude;
   msleep(100) is unnoticeable, but msleep(10) is, barely;
 * on headphones: the moment I plug them I hear a loud static sound
   (like an old, untuned AM radio). If I play something, the static
   disappears. If I pause, the static returns after ~15s.
