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?

    ...The main thing I want to say is that hearing ( or sensing/seeing/etc. ) "things" and/or being annoyed/comforted by them is not just an Autistic thing. But, yes, We are more prone to carrying such things into Adulthood, which is part of the 'diagnostic criteria' for Autism...

    I say simply that a noise (or the etc.) can be annoying to some yet comforting to others, just like anything else. Like Food, Smells, Dogs, Trees, Nylon, The-Colour-Red... everything. But!- Yes I like this Thread and shall add somethings thereto...

    I like Classical music and Rock music. I like Dogs barking and Birdsong. I regard My own heartbeat as much as Breathing. ALL of these things are intelligent noises, and I pay an attention to them, and when they change, I notice that as a possible indicator that something is wrong or changed. It is only an irritation when it is bad and I can do nothing about the bad.

    I do sometimes step outdoors to escape the 'artificial' noises a lot, and that is in some circles seen as "meditation"... not always possible, though.

    ...To close My post... Yes I also used to hear CRT-High-pitched whining... but does anyone else here ever *hear themselves snoring*?? I often wake up upon the exhale and hear it then, and am so annoyed My having made such a noise... seriously!
