I have a VERY low tolerance for noise. If I go somewhere and notice the noise is bothering me, I leave. I have even gotten up from tables at a restaurant (before I order anything) just because the music or atmosphere is too loud for me.

It took me quite a while to figure out why I was feeling the way I was in certain stores or environment. Now I know it is the noise and can take myself out of the area so I can feel better. One of the worst places is at my DD's school with all the kids so I limit my time there.

My DD will talk non-stop, hum, sing, play loud music, talk to her guinea pig constantly so I learned to tolerate it pretty well. If I am having a bad day, I tell her to tune it down and luckily she listens.
