when the plug falls out of the power port, my laptop makes a high-pitched whine. it's just the sound of the laptop when operating from the battery. other appliances have similar noises.

and they drive me insane.

i seriously get panicky and have a tendency to beat my head against the wall. i get angry. right now, i'm not near a wall, so i catch myself rocking back and forth with this high pitched whine ricocheting around the inside of my head. i hate it i hate it.

it hurts.

it hurts in a way that strobe lights do, but those aren't quite this bad. i just can't look at those without getting this same feeling. and flourescent lights make this same sound. and they flicker. they're evil. i can't hear anything else. the sound increases to a scream in my head.

i can't concentrate, i'm getting a headache, and i want to explode. i might explode. that's what this sound does to me.

Oh god. These things kill me too. I was in the photo lab the other night, knew I had to be there till late, and someone switched on the TV attached to the video editing computer and it had that whine. Quite loudly, too. I'm amazed I'm the only one who could hear it.

Fluorescent lights bother me, but only if I'm exposed to them for lengthy periods of time. I can deal with them for a couple of hours and tune them out, but I know that being around them all the time in high school contributed to my headaches.
