I hate car noises. When I'm at home (working or not), I close my doors and thermopane windows so there's as little noise from outside as possible but still it's not enough. Even though I don't live on a busy street, there's enough traffic around to piss the hell out of me, I get into a visceral state of anxiety and hatred when I hear them passing.
So I'm using an additional trick: a white noise generator, an electric fan room heater ... without the heat. Only the fan which needs to be loud enough so it cancels out outside noise but not so loud to become stressful in it's own way.
I'm so used to this fan noise that I can't even sleep without it.
And don't get me started on ambulance sirens. The physical office where thankfully I don't have to work anymore on a regular basis is right on the way of ambulances going into and out of the city. I've calculated on a statistical base considering the number of people and life/death probability that it's an average of 2 minutes and a maximum of 5 between ambulance passes and reality has proved me correct. Funk ambulances and funk their sirens. I hate them deeply and wish they would all die. I don't care for the people in those ambulances, I cared for about the first 2873 siren passes, afterwards I realized I care more for my own mental/hearing sanity but noone gives a shit about me and sirens keep going.
- baal80spam 4y agoI can relate to almost everything you wrote (bar the fan). I hate car noises and ambulances/fire brigade cars. Here they additionally honk all the time which is additionally maddening. I can't wait to move out, which hopefully happens soon.
