IDK if this is just a me thing or something a lot of people experience.

    Hmm, I’ve heard that sensory overload can be physically painful for same people. Might be that, but I’m no doctor.

    Are you autistic? Sometimes autistic people respond to stimuli differently than others and find it hard to articulate - maybe what you think of as pain is actually just a very intense response to this specific type of audio at a time when your body is at rest.

      I got a very light tendency to sensory overload but to me it’s not a pain, I respond to annoying sounds, and I am a little bit more sensitive and have a little bit stronger reactions to it. And when I get overloaded, my brain kinda shuts off, I can’t reason, I get very angry and I can’t properly communicate anymore.

      Imagine someone is punching you randomly every minute but you can’t do anything about it. You start getting irrational. That’s the exact feeling.

      What I’m saying is, what OP’s describing is very different and they should definitely see a doctor about it, because even for a sensory condition it doesn’t sound normal.
