Hate certain sounds but also hate silence

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?

  • I'm similar! I hate white noise (like air con units, dehumidifiers, fluorescent lighting buzzing etc.) and hate loud/screechy/chaotic/unexpected noises (e.g. when outdoors or in crowded places), but I get really anxious if it's silent. I have to have music, a podcast or a TV programme running in order to relax. I never go to sleep at night without putting an audiobook or TV programme on in the background.

  • I need absolute silence to sleep though or white noise to drown out irritating sounds lol

  • Yep, I hate sleeping in an air-con room It isn't just the noise. i also dislike the stale air and the fact that it leads to more respiratory problems. And frequently it just makes the room too noisy and cold to sleep in I'm gradually replacing all the fluorescents with LEDs. I wouldn't say I find the hum too bad, but I'd rather be without it; it's a constant reminder of wasting energy and money. And I can always switch off the lights completely for further economy. The thought of sleeping in a room, even with only a nightlight, is completely beyond the pale. Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing i can do about racing motorcycles and cars with illegal exhaust systems, barking dogs, workshops working OT and noisy nightlife. And I'm not lulled to sleep by music; even though it is one of my greatest pleasures in life.

  • I don't like having Warm White LED bulbs in any room that I use during the daytime. I find it reminds me of melancholic Autumn & Winter days in the UK.  It has to be Cool White, even in the bedrooms; even though I hardly ever keep bedroom lights on for any length of time.

  • My sister bought me a moon light for Christmas and it's lovely - very relaxing Slight smile
