It's probably just because I went to school in the time of the "Silent Ringtone", which was a ringtone that was set at a really high level of pitch that adults supposedly can't hear but it never actually worked like that and just gave everyone headaches, but I have learnt to block out sounds; even ones that exist only in my head.

So maybe that's why this really doesn't seem like that interesting of a semblance to me; been there, done that, slept through English class where everyone played the silent ringtones non-stop and people were super noisy. And I do mean super noisy. My class was full of the really intelligent kids who already knew what the teacher was talking about so they yelled and screamed over the top of everyone elses conversations instead. I slept through it, or read books instead, and got so used to blocking out noises it takes my fiance ages to get my attention when I'm reading something.

So 'annoying noises' as a semblance to me is just kind of...meh, I guess. Personal opinion.
