Ah, fellow suffers. I think it's pretty common.
Google will turn up a lot of info but no cures.
I imagine the people with the steady tone suffer the most.
Since I recognized what is going on I've tried to tune out
the noise. Also trying to convince myself I like the sound.
I like the sound of real ones.
