Solid vs Non-Soli
Solid vs Non-Solid Sounds
Okay, I guess you guys will have no clue what I am talking about. But in my head (and I explained this on the Pet Peeves thing too!) I calculate sounds in a unique system. Solid and Non-Solid, also called Hard and Soft, although that's less formal. I am really curious if you all think like this! Lemme explain:
Solid Sounds: A solid (sometimes called hard) sound is something with a constant beat and frequency. Whether it be high or low frequency, tapping, alarms, train rushing across the tracks, or the clicking of a pen. These don't bother me at all! I've been in fire drills and stood five feet away from a train numerous times and very rarely do I even blink/plug my ears. Only if I am really sick that day.
Now Non-Solid Sounds: A non-solid (sometimes called soft) sound is something with an irregular and soft sounding texture. Yes, to me sounds have textures, hence the hard/soft. This could be the scratching of chalk, fingers scratching leather or fabric (I cannot handle this sound at all), or whispering. Whispering is a bit iffy because it falls more under a solid sound due to frequency and beat, but it lacks rhythm and hardness making it a non-solid. Yeah, it's soft, not hard. xD. I personally despise - no, more than despise, I cannot even handle hearing - these sounds.
So what do you all think? Even if you don't analyze sounds as soft/hard and solid/non-solid, do you at least agree? I really would love to see how everyone's brains analyze sounds! Although to be honest... I think I am one of few who sees it this way. Just because I kinda see things differently, and this is a really weird system.
Also, Admin, any input? Do you see - err... hear - sounds like this?

Do you have a form of synesthesia, Ashlee? That's what it seems like to me. I think there probably is some sort of hearing-touch synesthesia, though I don't think I've ever met anyone who has it. I have hearing-sight synesthesia, which for me means that sounds have color. I am an associator, not a projector, which means that the colors appear in my mind, I don't see them in the space around me.
Synesthesia is when two or more of your senses overlap when your brain processes them, if you don't already know.
