I've been reading on this site for a few days now, and although alot of the various things mentioned all ring a bell, nothing has quite sounded so much like me as this thread! Can hear neighbours, as i'm sure they can hear us at times, but I hate it, I try and be as quiet as possible -unnaturally quiet,I hate being able to hear noise, but will turn the tv down so I can hear it, and not just think I can .... sound bonkers now.... I look out of the window everytime I hear a sound - even a car door shutting am I mad?

Even when I'm upstairs my neighbour downstairs can hear the slightest sound I make. I hate it that he always coughs very loudly.
I'm always trying to be as quiet as possible, but even when I put something on my table (quietly) or when I sit down etc. he immediately coughs loudly. I think he's crazy. I can neither relax nor concentrate when people are that loud! I'm considering getting earplugs (especially when reading a book), lol!
i love noise. especially in music. i listen to the most dissonant shit ranging from proggy noise-rock to the most high-frequency, trebbly grindcore out there.
so in everyday scenarios, that all stays pretty much the same for me. no aversion to noises whatsoever!
I do the same thing as you i turn down the tv and if somone knocks the door i jump out of my skin. I don,t want pepole to know that i am in so they won't knock the door and expect me to answer. I hate the post being derlived it very loud to me anyway. If you think your bonkers then i am too.

I am also afraid of noise .Not only you and me so many people will be afraid of that noise.Especially at nights.The first and fore most thing is to keep concentration so that you might not hear the noise.Better take some medicine or practice yoga which helps in keeping concentration.

I have problems with noise that i'm not in control of. Next door, cars, slamming doors, talking etc...
If the noise is coming from me or from inside my house then I'm fine because I know I can stop it.
I also find myself turning down the tv to see if I can hear the neighbours TV or talking. It especially bothers me late at night when i'm trying to sleep. I have great earplugs which block out the noise but I find it hard to use them as I want to know what noise is going on around me! (bizarre I know!). I've always been a bit noise-aphobic but it seems to have manifested itself with the arrival of our new neighbours last week (who make more noise than our previous neighbours but it's really not that bad!)
None of this bothers my wife but it's driving me crazy! I almost want to put my house on the market and try an find some nice deatched house somewhere but this is probably an extreme response!
