Yes! You get it! It
totally
goes beyond not just liking a song, or even
dis
liking a song, but there's a
visceral
reaction that happens that is beyond your control, a physiological response that just occurs that's very painful and once it starts, it's irreversible. If I only hear it for a few seconds, I can usually avert it, but if I'm subjected to it for a minute or more, that's it. I'm in for a rough ride. I've even tried things like putting cotton in my ears trying to buffer or dampen the sound, but even that doesn't work. I can't fully explain it, but you hit the nail on the head!

Yes, it's definitely something. I just don't know enough about it or understand it enough to know if it's related to pitch (like certain hertz), frequency, range, tone, notes, etc. I don't know enough about the intricacies and specifics of music, nor do I know enough about what it is that triggers these attacks of mine, I just know immediately when they hit me. My body will react within seconds, and if I'm exposed for "too long," (which isn't long), I also get the nausea, and all the other symptoms of a migraine including blindness in one eye, auras, spots, nausea and major head pain.
So, yeah, as I said, this isn't as simple as, "nah, I don't really care for this song," but is more like, I gotta get outta this place, turn the song off, whatever it takes to not be listening to this sound. It sucks when it's just a portion of the song because sometimes, that's all it takes.
