Noise pollution is a real thing. I don't know if this is hypervigilance, you may be a "highly sensitive person"? There is a book about that. I will never forget when my brother was trying to set up my mother's new TV, he had the volume on high and kept getting something wrong so it kept defaulting to loud static - I went into her bedroom and put a pillow over my head and I could STILL hear it! After a while I just I lost it! How can he have a phd and still be so stupid not to be able to run a tv installation menu? Arrggh! Then they yell at me for not quietly telling them why I was getting upset. And they say *I* have no common sense! Can you move to the attic, would that be quieter?
