I only started putting on background music throughout the day and for sleep because the people I lived with earlier in the year were just far too obnoxiously-noisy for there not to be some sort of background ambience from my side (I think a lot of people use fans, whatever the season, for that very reason and I joined that club last year) but it’s stuck with me since. I can’t imagine not sleeping without some sort of Podcast or jazz in the background but the difference between me and some other people is that it’s not exactly loud music glaring at all hours (but even that doesn’t bother me because it’s loud and obnoxious people per-se who annoy me, not music as such).

I’m on the spectrum ..

I’m hypersensitive to noise / noises .. so loud , sudden noises basically scare the life out of me and leave me shaken for a while.


The complication with all this is that because I have such good hearing I cannot abide silence as then the quieter extraneous noises ( however quiet they are ) drive me absolutely crazy as they are so distracting so when I move around the house I have music or the radio on in every room ..
