Hi billi leli, I'm so sorry that noises are causing you anxiety. I know what you mean. There is one noise that is particularly vexing to me. It is the low repetitive beat of the big drum in a live band. Once in awhile, someone at least a half a block away will have a party. I usually end up calling the Sheriff Dept and making a disturbing the peace report and they are pretty good about going over there to quiet things down. I wish I could offer some ways to cope other then getting in the car and going to a movie.
