why does noise hurt

when looking at something, a noisy video, for a moment, I felt ache in my insides , while expecting to be a video of soothing song, I felt not to watch and listen to the video because video quality was grainy. why did the trained neural network in my mind decided to have feelings of ache, when a little noise was added to it..?

Your experience likely stems from how your brain processes sensory expectations and discrepancies. Here’s a possible explanation:

1. Expectations and context: You were expecting something soothing, like a calm song. Your brain likely primed itself for relaxation and comfort. Expectations play a huge role in how we perceive and interpret sensory input, often influencing our emotions.
2. Sensory conflict: When the video turned out to be grainy and noisy, this was a stark contrast to your expectation. The visual noise and lower quality might have created a mismatch between what you anticipated (smooth, soothing) and what you received (grainy, chaotic). The brain finds it difficult to reconcile this conflict, which can cause discomfort.
3. Emotional response to sensory stimuli: Visual noise, particularly in videos or images, can be jarring because it disrupts clarity and coherence. For some, this sensory overload can trigger negative emotional responses, including unease or even a subtle physical ache. The graininess and noise in the video might have been perceived as an unexpected, low-quality input, causing a feeling of frustration or discomfort.
4. Neurological sensitivity to noise: Neural networks in the brain, trained by experiences, tend to filter and process sensory input for patterns. When randomness, such as visual or auditory noise, disrupts those patterns, the brain’s processing can become less efficient, possibly triggering a stress response. This might manifest as a physical ache or discomfort because your brain is working harder to make sense of the noise.

So, the combination of unfulfilled expectations, sensory conflict, and your brain’s sensitivity to noise likely contributed to the physical sensation of discomfort.
