haha I love your duct tape comment! The bings drive me mad, too! screaming children, the rattle of grocery cart wheels. So my husband does our shopping (most of it). I can handle small thrift shops & bookstores. Noise bothers me 24/7--whether I'm in a super manic state or not. My condition is mostly manias, irritable depressions when they happen & OCD with seizures (3 kinds, petit mal, atonic/drop & temporal lobe seizures). I know a guy with Asperberger's--he is highly intelligent & a successful professor but he will fall to the floor screaming in a noisy grocery store. So his wife does all their shopping!

For me the worst is the bing bing on cars. After five or six bings I have to get out of the car and walk away to where I can't hear it anymore.

The sound of basketballs on concrete activates my rage trigger.

Screaming children in the store. If I pass them I say duct tape!High pitched, repetative sounds are the worst, but I've read that a lot of people can't stand to hear other people eating.
