Not sure if more people have that but I hate sounds. I turn off all system sounds on my OS. I turn off all notifications on the phone.

It is not like I get called often but still had bad memories from former work where everyone had the same phone and the same sounds and I was often working 24/7 support. Hated that work and hated my morning wake up alarm that I had to change every couple months because each one I hated more and more the longer I used it.

I love melodic music and also any sounds not aligning to melody or rhythm are super annoying for me especially if I get into the flow.



Yup me too. I read some scientific paper which I cannot find recently that some low percentage of people get annouyet by repeating predictable sound patterns and I definitely belong to that group.
