I have always hated being in room with chaotic noises and a lot of people. Even bright lights, especially florescent ones would just cut through me and I would freak out and have to leave the place as soon as possible. I believe it's just sensory overload. However, I found something that was an absolute life saver and could make any place, completely silent. The Bose Noise-Canceling headphones. They're a little pricey but well worth it. You can turn on the canceling function without any music and you cannot hear a thing except for a soothing white noise. Good luck
