Mine has always been vision and hearing hard sounds, like doors closing. I can hear all the stupid little sounds like that. And I'm just weirdly good at deciphering shadows at night as long as there's some light.

I'm sure in ancient times this variation of who has good senses for what served a purpose.

I am oddly good at hearing engine noises. If a motor or piece of machinery starts doing something different I usually hear it. I worked in manufacturing and I could usually call out a machine that was about to breakdown. Also when a part has been replaced I usually hear the difference in noise.

Now you've got me wondering if your super hearing stops at machinery or if you could hear the human body doing it's thing, provided a stethoscope and test subject- I mean willing participant.
