A section of the following song is for me a great example of how my brain can not process or filter noisy environments.
I would recommend fast forwarding to the 25 second mark and listen for one minute until the 1:25 minute mark. I believe that section is a very good example of what the world sounds like to me when there are background noises of any kind and multiple people talking around me. In that section of the song, note how each person talking is talking at the same volume. My brain tries to listen to and analyze each sound at the same level. It does not "push" certain sounds to the background in favor of other sounds. It wants to hear all sounds equally. This is why being out in public can be disorienting to me and mentally taxing. I mitigate this by wearing high fidelity earplugs in public.
