Wait what did I come into this thread for again? Oh yeah, ADHD!

So what you're saying @Sparky79 is that 50Hz, hurts?

Bahaha but also thank you for dropping your knowledge, maybe this is why my bathroom fan irritates me to no end but I can tune out a dryer. Frequencies!! 

[Sparky79]

@Glisten holy crap, most of your list is me as well, part of the reason I'm a sparky and all round handyperson is because I hate broken appliances and things around the house, so I fix 'em! (lmao I was going to say "I hate broken things" but that would mean I hate myself and most people).

[Sparky79]

Lmao @Jynx, as I average an electric shock a year (over 25 years in the trade) I can definitely say 50hz hertz! (apologies for the shocking pun, oh no he didn't put a pun in the apology, oh yes he did!).

[Jynx]

Ohhhh snap!! @Sparky79 Just had no resistance to the puns eh? What a shocker!

[Sparky79]

@Jynx yeah I can be a live wire at times, I have 3 kids so that gives me certification for dad jokes

[Glisten]

@Sparky79  👀 Umm same. I spend a lot my time fixing other people’s building projects and doing other people’s tool and appliance maintenance.

I hate blunt knives :kitchen_knife: and shovels 🪏 Love an oil stone. 

Sparky79 said (lmao I was going to say "I hate broken things" but that would mean I hate myself and most people).

You say that like it’s a bad thing 😇

I see it as motivation to evolve.

The only constant thing in life is change.

Is it possible to build a dwelling with no high pitched hum noise?

If I turn off the mains power will this noise stop?

The sound is really starting to hurt.

[Sparky79]

@Glisten "The only constant thing in life is change" 100% nothing is permanent, I've been listening to some Buddhist teachings in regards attachment and the impermanence of life which say the same thing. On another note, I'm broken now, but I'm fixing myself day by day, piece by piece.

In regards to the humming, yes it is possible to build a dwelling like that without any emf or minimal emf pollution.

Just wondering if you've been to a hearing specialist to see if it's tinnitus / hearing damage.

In regards to turning off the mains power, I'd first start seeing if the humming is worse in particular rooms or areas to identify if it's an appliance, fitting or a plug pack / transformer.

if there was no success with that then I'd move on to turning once circuit off at a time, as having the whole house off, when the issue is with a light circuit can be very inconvenient. If it is with a single circuit there may be a fault with an item that is powered from that circuit or a dodgy connection somewhere.

Even if it got to the stage of turning the main switch off, the noise could be from nearby power lines, street lights or transformers. Heck I've even heard of cases where neighbouring properties fans have been the culprit of noise.

@Sparky79  Go with your good self! More power to you. The best part about fixing yourself is, you choose the pieces of you, that you like. 😊
You can replace the pieces you don’t like, with something that serves you better.

That is my experience. I’m still going through my evolution process.

It is exhausting. I need more sleep.

My son’s in-laws are Chinese Buddhists. Amazing temple outside Brisbane.

I’m currently living in a dodgy A-frame on friends’ property. 
Architecturally designed for snow ⛄️ Not 47 degrees in summer 🥵

No storage. None. 0.

Ever built storage in an A-Frame? It sucks.

The hum is in the walls of my bedroom at the top of the A-frame. Above the Saddle storage/ Workshop. 
It’s the only part of this building that I hear the hum.

Got to get me some earplugs that are comfortable for sleep.

Give me a holler when you have a breakthrough, epiphany or when you get to implementing Boundaries.

Honestly I wish there was a Re-education facility. Where I could live and immerse myself in reprogramming my unconscious/subconscious mind.

[Aqualemonade]

@Jynx are you living my life? Haha

We also never use the big lights. Working from home has helped so much as I can control my environment. The sun is so bright, I need my sunnies, and will wear them in the shops too.

Sound. Misophenia is rampant here. I could never be in the same room as my brother when he was eating breakfast. In January this year we travelled together, at 43, I still cannot be in the same room whilst he is eating. I don't leave the house without my noise cancelling headphones, it's so loud out there!

Smell - My sense of smell is supersized, and, I'm not a fan.

Touch - I HATE people touching me. Always have. Mum said even as a baby I was so stiff and uncomfortable when being held.

Taste - I never considered myself a fussy eater. However, I can't eat reheated food - especially chicken. I am so sensitive to preservatives and artificial colours and ingredients.

I should add I also am a migraine sufferer, am Autistic and have an autoimmune disease.

Thanks for this question, seems we are all sensitive beings!

[Jynx]

Thanks for sharing @Aqualemonade yes we are indeed a sensitive bunch!! 

UGH the misophonia struggles are so real!! My dad eating is STILL enough to make me implode lol I totally feel you on being stuck in small spaces or having to eat separately!! 

Used to have a coworker at another job, he'd smack his lips.... I dunno if it was habit or if he just needed more water but oh my stars it used to drive me bonkers... every 5-15 seconds or so. Sometimes it's grossness, sometimes it's the unpredictability of small irritating sounds lol
