Very well done :) I have an aversion to sound that borders on a "disability", lol the biggest fights I had with my girlfriend was about sounds (The minute, the repeating and the periodic ones)" The one where we argued if the UPS 20sec alarm two rooms away is "not that bad" or "ice-picks-in-my-brain" was especially dividing. Ex-girlfriends aside... I really like your setup and you are so right about the RGB crap ! Computer hardware and sneakers('Tekkies' if your a South African) both follow the "Xmass-Tree school for design. The marketing copy writing is as insulting as color-schemes. Their ad-copy and slogans, makes me feel like I'm about to be a general in a internet-dragon-slaying army or secret agent. EDIT: I almost feel there is a gap in the market for a manufacturer to be competitive solely on a predictive-and-simple naming schemes alone !

This might be a hard pill to swallow, but if a romantic partner is dismissive of something like “this makes a noise that is really distressing/painful/annoying” there is really only one explanation: this person doesn’t care about you or your well being. Leave now. There is truly nothing to argue about with someone’s subjective experience. Your real argument was about if your well being matters or not.

  Whenever anyone posts anything about their partner that isn’t purely positive, people will come out of the woodworks to tell them to end the relationship. From this one little anecdote you can’t judge that relationship.

Do consider mindfulness for your sensitivity to sound. Many people are simply more sensitive to sounds than others. Most of those people can develope more tolerance by practising attention focusing. It's a skill we've lost since we took so much control of our environment.
