I've been trying to endure many types of noise that people emit when they simply couldn't give a rat's backside about others... but the one thing that is impossible, physically depending on the proximity, is machines...
How anyone can deal with the sound of engines is beyond me... even a car left on is annoying, but tractors? Jackhammers? Some sort of razor that is louder than a baby solely to cut grass? If these things become long-term surely no one is able to withstand them... first two even shake one's entire world... so, honestly, I think if the torture goes on for long enough I could end up killing one of them... I mean, under such circumstances no one can even reach them through sound for obvious reason, so how else can the situation be resolved? (Most can't, of course, regardless of discussions...)
Why aren't these kinds of horrible noises really seen as torture by the UN or such, at any rate? I swear my mental state almost can't be distinguished from physical pain...
