Noise

Kate

Is it common to hear quiet noises that are slightly further away (so still near by) at normal volume as if the sound was in the same place as you?

  • Yes - I do - I hear all noises at the same volume - conversations in other rooms are as loud as if they were next to me and the tv in this room - and the washing machine in the utility room or the dishwasher in the kitchen or sound from outside is just as annoying  - it all gets too overloading and my brain processes them all in parallel until it reaches the 'too annoying' level.
