I love silence. Hate the sound of a radio in the morning or in a car. I prefer to sing myself. I go crazy on the job when the FAX machine beeps for five minutes at a time. But I seem to tune out random noise - car alarms, street noise, air planes. Whenever I am out of the city without this cacaphony, the silence actually hurts.

Music is something I actively listen to. I can't have it in the background when I am reading or even on the computer. It distracts me.
I may fall into the category "Don't make eye contact with her".
