Hate certain sounds but also hate silence

Whats-His-Face

So i'm an aspie and am asking this this to see if I'm the only one or if some of you guys share this with me. As the title states, there are certain noises that grind my gears, like snoring, tapping/banging(unless im doing it which is fine) dogs barking and many more, but i detest silence, i cant stand sitting in a silent room, i need noise, be it the tv or music or people talking as long as I'm not trying to do the previously mentioned as then their talking winds me up lol. I also love loud music, the louder and bassier the better, many a times i've fallen asleep to the sound of war in my ears(battlefield games). Anyone else hate silence?

  • No detraction intended, but a lot more silence would suit me down to the ground. But I sort of know how you feel, since I'm surrounded by a whole country of people who will obviously do almost anything to avoid silence and being alone. But as a bit of an enigma, I also love almost any music that is heavy and intense. The way I think about that is that if I know well in advance that there is going to be an intense musical experience, I'm fully prepared for what follows; but I am mentally challenged by unexpected or sudden noise and confusion. I guess that is how I survive in a very noisy country; by preparing myself a silent place when I know that things will soon get very loud.
