This is legit, clamping voltage as someone said, not just joules. Cheap $7 ones have very very high joules but won't kick in until 500-600v on the worst ones whereas this kicks in at 330v.
I use almost all of these. computer, 4 monitors, 2 chargers, lamp, printer, speakers, you get the idea. so if this is too many, not your thing lol.
I also see the area near TV's get fully plugged in and I see multiple extensions so this is great for that too.
Two different brands I have tried out make the noise and becomes noticeable over a period of time. The BestBuy Essentials made the loudest and most painful high-pitched noise which increased when connected to multiple devices (it was so bad I immediately returned it), while the Eaton Personal surge protector I recently purchased makes this noise but is much less audible but still noticeable.
The Eaton surge protector says it protects against line noise and has "Up to 40 dB EMG-RFI Noise Suppression" but I am confused what this actually means, when it still produces a slight high-pitched noise, especially when you put your ear close to the surge protector where you also hear a buzzing sound moving through the cord. My lamp also makes a buzzing noise, when you put your ears near the light bulbs.

From what I have read, it doesn't matter if you have a surge protector or not. It just matters that your home has good ground. It is whole-house surge protectors that have the power to absorb the powerful surges, even protecting against lightning, so they should be the ones to invest in. Regular surge protectors just divert the surge to ground, where the surge is amplified, passes into the electronics, and damages or destroys them.
It is until recently, I am using and testing out surge protectors to see if they actually work or will fry the minor things connected to it or not in the event of a surge.
