Hey @Bow
So I've noticed in your message you say it's been in the past few weeks you've become aware of and agitated by the sounds of background noise. Are you able to sit and think for a moment if anything has happened the past month that's had an impact on you? Is there something that's been on your mind a lot?
For me, I've found that if I haven't been able to recognise or acknowledge my feelings about a situation it tends to start showing up as anger in other areas of my life. Being able to process emotions has always been a challenge for me, and I've relied heavily on anger to coax though life. However, I now realise that a lot of the time when I'm angry about something, I'm usually angry about something else entirely. If you can sit with the anger and ask yourself where it's coming from, what prompted it, what's behind it, and try to find the underlying cause it might help.
I've also learned that because I carry a lot of stress and tension around as it is, I can become agitated quite easily by things that typically wouldn't bother someone else. If your stress bucket is already full of sh*t, it's not going to take much to tip the scales.
Hope this helps.
