I have noise sensitivity to the extreme. If I could wear ear plugs all day I would. I used to and kept getting ear infections. I think some is that my body is very sensitive from my limbs,ear,eyes etc. Some is anxiety and with that I like peace and quiet cause it keeps me calm. When it is loud my anxiety increases and in turn I don't deal with the pain as well. I also feel anyone who hurts badly would like a quiet environment. I notice when I am calmer mentally and my pain is less physically the noise does not impact me as much. Still more then the norm. I run a fan at night which is consistent noise and seems less annoying to me then like when the air condition turns on and off. I still have that but it drowns it out. I have a noisy place where I live and am moving soon and can't wait. It is like torture now. Sorry I am not more help just that I can relate
