Not just on a Sunday morning but if you could have it your way all the time, how much outside noise (or not) would be around you?

i dont like noise and was very sensitive to it as a child. I dont like silence however so i have a radio in every room and when i go in, like to the kitchen on goes the radio.

When im working i do like noise like this..

I can literally sleep if a bomb drops, not a big fan of people playing music loudly in their gardens unless it is a party or something, luckily we are fairly lucky in that respect, like listening to the radio when I am working, but also pretty happy to sit in silence

I actually love it when neighbours play music semi-loudly. It don’t matter if I don’t particularly love the songs being played. It’s just calm ambience (I naturally appreciate it more on Fridays/Saturdays).

I’d probably have to draw the line at classical fluff. Not my thing at all.

That is EXACTLY my take on things ..

In silence my mind goes into overdrive !!
I have a radio or CD player ( sometimes both ) in every single room ( even the bathroom towel cupboard ) .

i have tinnitus so some background noise is necessary to stop me going completely insane

Not much.

It can be exhausting.

[Urban Cragou]

I don’t mind loudness so long as it serves some sort of purpose of functionality (that probably sounds more mechanical on paper than I actually mean it to). You can’t tell people to shut up/pipe down in Soho on a Saturday night or at any kind of party and that’s okay because I get energised from both noise and silence so when I put myself in those situations I get what I need and it’s not too taxing (not that I’m ever going to be the absolutely-biggest lover of ultra-loud noise). But when it’s at home I’m somewhere between average and quiet and it can be hard striking that balance when you live with people who are louder round-the-clock but so long as there’s some sort of decent interpersonal connection I can tolerate it without wanting to tear my hair out (just about).

Like I said I’m no lover of non-anthropomorphic dogs and that’s because of how loud and incessant their barking is. It’s not great white noise in the early a.m. when you’re trying to sleep or listen to a Podcast.

Can you handle voluntary high-stimulation environments (bars, clubs) or would you just rather avoid loud places altogether?

[Urban Cragou]

Noisy kids in McDonalds are almost unbearable.

[Merry Mockmas]

I can handle noise for the most part.

Although I've grown to hate Trains.

Trains are fine with me (I don’t even notice the sound) but motorcycles do my head in. Very annoying.

I read that as TRANS initially because it’s such a common topic

You wait on one trans thread for ages and then 3 get made in a row!

I don't like loud noise unless it's music I like, then I like the volume up.

Are you still able to enjoy loud bars (which may not necessarily be playing the music you per se really like) or would you rather just avoid higher-stimulation environments like that?

I am deaf in one ear so some tones are annoying but generally if its music that's pleasing to me then I'm ok but some music I hear is really grating especially when loud.

Is there a certain type of music that’s likely to grate on you if you don’t mind me asking?

as quiet as possible, other than rain, birds, the ocean

Like I said I don’t mind a bit of extra noise-stimulation but I definitely agree with you about the sounds of nature being more bearable on full-blast than a lot of people’s voices. People who speak really loudly just for the sake of talking really irritate me.

[Candy Annie Cane]

I don't mind noise....I have music on pretty much all the time when I'm at home. I rarely put the TV on before 9. What I can't stand though is more than one noise source. If I'm watching or listening to something and I can hear my son's phone on you tube or I can hear the tv over the radio if I'm in the kitchen it bugs the life out of me.
