It's strange, I find that even ambient music distracts me, yet the loud

non-intelligible sounds don't have. So far, I haven't found anybody else
who experiences the same thing.

Never mind that I could never make out the words in opera, either. My mother
once tried to inculcate me with culture by taking me to the opera. When I
complained that I couldn't understand any of the lyrics, she explained that that
was unnecessary, as one should already know the story.
