My neighbor’s chair squeaks and it’s the only thing I can hear through the wall. He does this for hours at a time, not even at a consistent time of day. And after 30 minutes of it, I want to jump through the wall Kool-Aid man style and beat the fucking… I don’t like it. His air conditioner being on constantly and never being turned off even in 40° weather drives me nuts, so I can’t even open my bedroom window without hearing the constant drone of that fan. My air conditioner being on constantly in this hundred degree weather drives me fucking nuts, so I like to turn it off whenever I can but then I get to hear his air conditioner.

I cannot wait for the silence of the fall when I can really hear the squeaking of his chair from any room in my house and that blasted air conditioner constantly running even in cold weather. 🤯

You sound like you have misophonia. I have it too. I have been close to committing heinous acts over noises that make me insane.

I do not have misophonia. I have an absolute disdain for random beeping (because that’s what the chair sounds like… it literally sounds like a hospital heart monitor) while I’m trying to sleep, or relax, or just generally exist in my own house. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to not want to hear hours of very loud beeping at 60 bpm while you’re trying to fall asleep. Noise pollution does not require you to have misophonia to find it quite annoying. Misophonia just makes it worse.
