Noise even in the country. Thoughts and Advice, please!

[Guest guest]

Hi! I don't know exactly what condition I have I get disturbed by eating sounds,

but I can avoid those. I get furious around basketballs, stereos, motorcycles,

people talking in other rooms or yards, car doors shutting, shoes clipping in

stores, sounds I can't get away from.

I was tormented living in the city for the last few years. I moved to the

country to get away from noise. It was peaceful a year. Now there's a new

neighbor who sometimes likes to play his truck stereo in his garage. It's not

crazy-loud, but he's clear across the street and I can hear it in my backyard.

He's a younger guy, who occasionally comes and goes on a dirt bike at 1am or

7am. I wake up feeling violated.

The yards here are 1/2-1 acre wide. I am the only person it seems to bother.

He's not in any lawful violation, and doesn't look like he'd be open to altering

his lifestyle to my special needs.

I'm fearing summer noise based on his actions on the good-weather-days since he

moved here in October. Talking to this guy is OUT of the question, as is

anything legal. I will have to find ways to cope. It stinks to be afraid of

Spring because of the noise of others.

Can anyone tell what specific condition this sounds like? Any other thoughts or

suggestions on buffering the noise or treating the condition holistically are

welcomed.
