~Production Notes~ 'loud but not that loud, just loud for me' might have been one of the most me things I've ever said. I feel like there needs to be some kind of counter for how many times I say something and then promptly proceed to laugh at myself for saying it.
I must wear earplugs while I sleep, to insure rest, and for a lot of time during the day. Like Driving. Or In a store. And around people. I have sets of earplugs all over the place, and always in my pocket. Yes, certain frequencies are unbearable. Thanks for sharing.
It's funny that you mention being able to hear wi-fi, as aside from the disbelief that many will respond with, I have taken such claims seriously in the past and done some investigations. The claim was that a laptop computer was making a noise, even when the speakers were physically disabled. Additionally, the noise could be heard even when the laptop was powered off. I myself could not hear the sound, but I believed what I was being told. With some amplification, I could hear the sound and I discovered that the laptop was indeed emitting sound, but not via any speaker or other transducer. It seems that the pattern of current drawn by the circuitry within the laptop, was causing one part of the circuit board to vibrate and this motion of the circuit board was translated to audible sound. What was even more surprising, was that even when the laptop was supposedly completely powered off, it was still emitting this very faint sound, because I discovered that it was not ever completely powered off. There was always some very small current flowing and this was enough to cause it to emit sound. I'm wondering if there is something similar happening with your experience of being able to hear wi-fi? Do you find that when there is just a broad spectrum of general noise, but no specific sound, that it is very fatiguing when exposed even for fairly short periods of time? There is a path that I walk now and then, that is separated from any roads or highways for almost its full length of 5 km or so, except for a 100 meter section that runs parallel to a major highway, but about 50 meters away. This noise when entering this section rises very suddenly and causes me to consider turning around and going back. It takes a short time to travel the 100 meters before the path veers away from the highway and when it does, the noise level drops very greatly and extremely quickly over a very short distance. The sudden drop in general noise, is such a relief. Still, the effects of the prior elevated noise level, persist for some period of time after it ceases. There is a sort of fatigue that sets in during the noise, that serves to slightly insulate our ears from the loud sound. The recovery period can last much longer than the exposure period. For me, social pressures tend to make me attempt to endure the onslaught of loud noises long past the point, I should be doing that and this often can lead to meltdown. Even though I know the inevitability of it, I try to deny it to myself. B.
i find especially loud, unpredictable noise very tiring, which would be my ‘problem’ about the road you describe. There is no predictability about when and how the noise occurs, so I can’t prepare for it. In comparison the noise when flying in a plane which I’d say is roughly similar in frequency I don’t mind so much, because it is rather uniform. Although that’s probably not the only predictor, because the noise of drones on the other hand I find extremely uncomfortable.
I'm enjoying your videos. I hate firetrucks/ambulances etc. I also hate certain kinds of music where the layers blend together like hard rock dirty guitar or metal. I love music and sounds if they are very segmented, like tap dancing and harmonies or clean percussion. When I'm stressed or tired I am more prone to anxiety attacks and have had them at farmer's markets and grocery stores. I bought some ear guards and high quality ear plugs and feel better having them.
I also found that sounds(regardless of their loudness) are extremely distracting , probably because I can't "filter out" sounds properly (in addition to my trouble with multitasking). I'm curious about how does your WiFi sounds like
i can filter out monotone sounds sometimes, but i still prefer nit having them to begin with. i can’t multitask either. My wifi has a kind of high pitched sound. it seems like two tones, but very close together. a bit like a note from an out of tune piano, but more electronic sounding.
@@jontje5537 The high pitch sound is probably generated by inductors and/or transformers on your WiFi router circuit board. (I mean, it doesn't "sound" like WiFi signal though....) testguy.net/content/259-Transformer-Humming-Noise-Explained In an interview Tony Attwood mentioned that some autistic people can hear electricity. I know that some autistic people can hear ultrasonic and/or infrasonic sounds, however, the ability of "hearing" electromagnetic radiations that are generated by electronic components would be outlandish. So it probably should be more precisely stated as: some autistic people can hear the sounds that are generated by electronic components (and the sounds are usually [inaudible to | ignored by] other people who are also exposed to them).
@@jontje5537 I made a mistake in the previous reply. It should be "infrasonic sounds", instead of "subsonic sounds" ("ultrasonic" vs. "infrasonic"; "supersonic" vs. "subsonic"). The reason why I asked "how does your WiFi sounds like" is that I'd like to get some clues regarding whether the sounds were actual "sounds" that were generated by the electronic components inside your WiFi router, or they were perceived WiFi wireless signals.

When I'm alone. Pfft I'm not autistic. As soon as people are around. IM AUTISTIC PLEASE STOP TALKING.

Maybe it is possible to hear microwaves. Try search the Frey effect. Although I don't know whether it can be applied to WiFi signals.
70% of autistic people have hyperacusis, a thing that makes sound painful
