This is really interesting to me. I work in a retail store and have noticed over the years that I get more and more irritated by regular people being "loud" even though it doesn't seem to bother anyone else. I use noise cancelling whenever I'm out in NYC and it makes a lot of sense to me that maybe my internal gain has been turned up and that's why normal volumes seem so loud all the time. When I really need to focus and don't need to be perceptive to the world around me I like to listen to white noise. Maybe that's a better alternative.
Hmmm, this is news to me. The disorientation experienced by people moving in completely silenced spaces makes sense. I use ANC all the time, but will experiment with turning it off while walking on the street.
Now I’m glad I lost my airpod pros 😎
