My ASD daughter gets very disturbed when people are talking downstairs, and she is in her bedroom upstairs. She finds the (random) noise intolerable, even if we try to talk quietly. It becomes a question of upsetting her, versus being silent all the time!
Has anyone any suggestions on what we could do? Noise cancelling headphones have been tried, but I think we got the wrong model.
Thanks for any replies.

I find that music that is mid range to high pitch ends up giving me headaches even when not very loud whereas really loud rock music (or even some dubstep) actually sends me to sleep (have been found snoring leant up against a bass speaker in a heavy rock club before).Downside to this is the crowds though - I can only go to clubs on less busy nights or early on and sometimes leave as it's getting a little too busy for me to cope with (although a few pints does help with this - not advocating drinking as a coping mechanism and I actually don't drink very often).

I can cope with some types of music and noise. Especially if I have control over what is played. What I cannot stand is the very loud music and noise in very crowded nightclubs. Pubs I can cope with up to a point. I like playing music at home that I like.
But the general city centre clubbing scene to me is a nightmare and mystery. Why do people go to ultra crowded places with bouncers controlling the crowds?
