Hi there. I’m happy to find this sub just now.

I know I have misophonia and have had it for years, so I’m very happy to find a sub for this. If I tell anybody about what really irks me in the moment I get laughed at, which makes my blood boil.

Yes, I hate the whole chewing food sounds, but my main trigger is bass through walls. As I write this, I’m laying down with my earbuds in, listening to music.

I live near a train depot and for the last 2 days, they have parked one up at pretty much the bottom of my garden, it’s a repetitive bass-like noise that I can almost feel as well as hear. Yesterday they left the engine on it, unmanned for 18 hours. Today, it’s been going on for 4.5 hours so far.. I even phoned their HQ and got the depot phone number, but it never connected so I called back and got them to relay a message. I just said i work nights but it was difficult to explain how the engine rumbling constantly vibrates against the windows. I’m sure my neighbours hear it, I know they do. I guess they don’t care - I envy them.

I’ve been filled with rage for 2 straight days and I do feel embarrassed to have a fight or flight response. It boils my blood, makes me want to tear my hair out, gives me a thumping migraine and my chest feels tight.

It’s such a lonely feeling, as I’m sure you know.

Sorry to rant.
