yes I too am sensitive to sounds. can be like fingernails on a chalkboard. However, twice I heard the most beautiful sound coming from a neighbors home. It was a tenor saxaphone. I had the visceral response, but this time it was a huge ahhhhhhhh. I had a feeling that it was a young, very sweet, college student living two doors down. when I saw him, I asked. And yes, it was he. It was whistful and unaccomplished. A lone saxophone player's music wafting from an open window. So my body reacts very strongly to sound. Fingernails on a chalkboard and opening of the heart, depending.
