I Hate the Way You Sound

Trapped in a room with erratic keyboard clacking, trilling phones, and the moist crunch of a coworker鈥檚 lunch. How long could you suffer in silence?

In filmmaker B茅bhinn Naughton鈥檚 Two Minute Masterpiece, I Hate the Way You Sound, 脡abha thrives in solitude. For her, quiet isn鈥檛 just a preference - it鈥檚 oxygen. But the sanctuary of her home office has been traded for a desk in the heart of an open-plan office. She is engulfed by a wall of noise she cannot tune out. The fluorescent lights overhead hum at a frequency only she can feel, vibrating deep within her teeth. The distant, muffled laughter from the staff room feels like a mockery of her rising panic. Not even noise-cancelling headphones offer an escape. Instead, they create a pressurised void where her own heartbeat thumps like a drum.
