It's like tinnitus. It's bearable when you get a mild case from a concert and then it goes away.

But when it sticks and you're at your second decade of 24/7 eeeeeeeeeee in your ear, at times it gets to you really bad and you just want to claw your eardrums off.

I got it as a teenager from a cycling accident. It took me 20 years before I was finally able to say to myself "I'm fine with this". It did happen though, and for anyone else suffering it can get easier to deal with given time.

This should be enough to enlighten all those who think that "noise is not an issue".

> and for anyone else suffering it can get easier to deal with given time

Unfortunately, no. It may «get easier to deal with given time» - it's not granted, seeing the history of some sufferers.

> would make me equally as upset

You may be unable to tell in advance. There comes a point in which you break and what was "not even perceived", not just "tolerable", before, becomes unbearable later.

You have to consider the constant exposure, and the fluctuation of your resistance, and consider the effect of the burden in the times of lower resistance. The issue is not with the stress of the weight lifted when you are vigorous, but that which will be when you will be weak.

Here's a video with a recording of sound intensity of wind generators (not infrasounds tho)
