What sound extremly soothing until you experience it yourself? (feddit.de)

e.g. listening to the breathing sound of a newborn.

You'd think it's soothing to know it's breathing but really their breathing is still kind of in development and does weird shit all the time.

Truly sound absorbing rooms.

It sounds great, but they are apparently so quiet, being that they actively absorb all ambient sound, that you can hear the blood moving through your veins and most people can’t stand it for more than half an hour.

It's like being ADHD, there's less stimulus so your brain starts trying to hear everything it can. This is why I listen to music or a podcast while I work lol

Despite liking quietness, I also dislike it. I like the quiet as in low volume music in background and no one talking.

In such a room, I’d freak the hell out.
