Living in a Household with Others

[Guest guest]

How many of you have trouble living with other people because of the noise they

create at all hours of the day and night?

Sound is multiplied from things like tvs, dishes, coughing, clearing the throat,

opening and closing doors, and the tinkering of knives and forks.

I've had to wear earplugs and high-grade gunman's ear muffs for the past 12

years, and install white noise fans in 3 rooms.

I get feelings of anxiety and rapid heart beat and a surge of anger when I hear

loud noises. It sets off adrenaline and cortisol in my body- the stress hormone.

I would add sound barriers to walls if it was feasible.
