Noise. I want to go quiet places and do quiet things. When I was older I loved dancing on tables in nightclubs now I just want silence
I’m exhausted by modern music blasting in retail and restaurants. I’ve started wearing earbuds with white noise everywhere.
I hear you there! Are you neurodiverse? I'm wondering if there's some sensory overload going on
Over-auto-tuned hip-hop and reggaeton in Japanese themed restaurants. Might as well play death metal. Neither fit the vibe at all.

god i wish all old people were vehemently anti noise, i have autism and noise just kinda makes me unable to function and no one else seems to give a shit about constant incessant noise in all parts of life and it drives me insane.
Mate I'm neurodiverse too, I totally get it. It's not just noise it's picking sounds out from each other, like if there's two conversations near me. It's fucking awful
they recently lowered the speed limit on a major road near me from 70km/h to 60km/h and holy shit it's so much better, suddenly i can actually talk to people and the lowered noise outright makes the world feel different (better).
But how will you stay apprised of the latest trash-pop songs if I don't blast them for you from my shitty Temu Bluetooth speaker on wilderness trails and in urban public places?
There’s noise and then there’s noise caused by people. Listening to a distant train or a pack of coyotes howling in the night is fine. Listening to anyone nearby, across the street even, coughing, is soul stabbing and needs to stop.
Pain amplifies this so very much. I'm always sensitive to noise but occasionally I'm sensitive to light.
Oh yes, I was going to say crowd. But I think it is actually noise. Unless it’s birds and bees, rain and wind…
It’s not just nightclubs. Restaurants have become super loud too. Last weekend I was at a restaurant with friends and we had to keep asking each other to repeat what we said all the time because damn restaurant was so loud you couldn’t hear the person sitting right next to you.
Normally this restaurant has oldies music from the 20th century but you couldn’t even hear that over all the noise. It was awful!
