For some reason I barely react to hugely loud sounds. It is the quiet, irritating sounds that get me. Although the day before yesterday there seemed to be a lot of sirens sounding near our house. Mostly ambulance and fire engines.
Edit: There goes another ambulance.
That's interesting. Do the small sounds build up in annoyance level over time?
In my workplace, where I hear most of the sudden loud noises, there's so much background noise already
that small noises don't really register much, and I have trouble understanding some people's speech.
