I'm sorry this was such a heavy post. Thank you for responding. The noise doesn't bother me, but I have schizoaffective disorder and have been having really bad paranoia with mild auditory hallucinations. I have auditory hallucinations from all sounds, like the noises my body makes, the fan whirring, ambient white noise like the patter of rain. I hear things like people talking or a girl crying. I won't sugarcoat it, it's fucked up. But I am more terrified of the silence because I hear things then too. There is no mute button in my head. It makes noise with everything else has quieted. I give schizoaffective disorder a one star review.
Wow, that is crazy and horrible! Would it help if you played nonstop background music? How long can you handle bossa nova jazz? Haha, there are many such multi-hour tracks on YouTube. I hope there could be some kind of drug you could take to remove them (without otherwise harming yourself, of course).
