Noise [View all]

This probably doesn’t belong here, but I’m posting out anyway. Could be in lounge. Could be in mental health.

Is any one else driven nuts by noise? Not all noise. I like birds. And purring. And audio books. And done music. And that’s about it.

I have had tinnitus in one ear for 25 years. So things are never quiet for me. Then there’s the electronic beeps of the phone. Notifications. Ring tones. Oven timer alarms. Microwave and electric kettle signals. Dogs barking, including my own four, among which is a creature whose bark I would like get a decibel reading on. And yelping. I have an electric fence enclosing horses, and the energizer clicks to let me know it’s powered up. I appreciate that but the clicking drives me batty.

Not looking for solutions. Just wanted to unload.
