It seems incomprehensible to me how some people tolerate it.

    The clock works as intended and ticks in predictable intervals. It’s much the same as rain whipping against a window or a old house groaning during storm.

    The faucet dripping means something is wrong and will annoy me to no end. It’s much the same as a buzzing fly or screaming/panicking children.

    In other words: you can’t really compare those two.

      Interesting.

      I can tolerate non repetitive sounds, like rain, or wind, or the house settling.

      Reliably consistent sounds do my head in.

      Clocks, dripping taps, fan clicks - all invented by the devil
