Sounds can be annoying

Sometimes people talking becomes noise and I must escape, leave the scene quickly, my system becomes overloaded with input. Sounds without information called communication but when it is cocktail talk it can become too much noise. Or even in a mall or other locations, the sounds of talking can start to feel like noise and it is time for downtime. 

Make it a great and quiet day. No horn honking to your friends on the road. I jump. I think there is a REASON for the horn and it is a warning of some kind. I look around feverishly looking for the danger. Hypervigilance kicks in. Fear. When I realize it only you, tooting to a friend in the middle of the cars whizzing by, I am relieved and annoyed, I was distracted from safe driving.
