Last question first, yes, kind of. I have some degree of misophonia and hate most extraneous noise. This also extends externally perhaps just as a matter of empathy and makes me uncomfortable when making noise. My partner even complains that I move too quietly and startle her quite often.

To be more specific I prefer my portable devices to be always muted, which is where I consume most short-form content.

For longer content, like movies and shows, I'll generally not be consuming that portably. Though I still strongly prefer to wear headphones so that I'm the only person who hears it.
