It drives me crazy can’t stand it one bit
Living in apartments is too much noise
By a busy road
I’ve never heard voices but I hate noise. Makes me uncomfortable and stressed.
Interesting. I wondered before if you are psychotic in the sense you are most sensitive too. I dislike noise, but it is not the sensory overwhelm I am most sensitive too. I do not have auditory hallucinations.
I like Noise Cancelling headphones a lot there.
I got really sensitive to noise some years before diagnosis. I would get cortisol spikes from loud noises and it tired me out.
Even ear muffs help me.
I hate noise. I don’t eat out much for that reason as clanging forks and noise from the kitchen ruins it. And a million people chatting away in a little cafe is sensory overload hell.
Loud mufflers. Screaming kids. Even sometimes when our dogs bark for too long it gets to me. But I can just point at Oliver and he will stop.
I get sensory overload quite a bit. But i like the sounds of loud cars 
I am having to get rid of my pet cockatiel as since coming off 800 mg Quetiapine in August and just being on 4 mg resperidone I am too noise sensitive. I don’t know how I am going to cope with the guilt and loss.
I wonder if noise overload is what they call a lower latent inhibition?
See also: prepulse inhibition, the ability to dampen down one’s own reaction to some sensory stimulus, is affected in schizophrenia. Back in 2007 I edited that Wiki article, and it has grown up since then quite a lot. I talked a guy over on the Flickr photo site to gift his photo of PPI measurement for Wikipedia
