Your comment about volume was interesting. I also like things more quiet than most people.
I keep my laptop volume at 24. Games have sound effects at 20-100 and everything else (music, voice, ambient) at 0. The first is information, everything else is distracting.
YouTube is played at 100, and if it's someone streaming a game I'll raise the laptop volume to 60-70 else I can't understand what they're saying (because they don't mute the music).
Any time I'm not watching a video the radio will be on at (checks) 2.33. Loud enough to hear the lyrics of the songs I like, quiet enough to ignore everything else.

Do you have some sensory irregularities or something? I vaguely recall someone mentioning something like that ages ago, but I'm not sure if it was you. That seems like a fairly drastic relationship with sound though, which is disheartening to me as a composer since it means you'd just mute my music! Personally I'd find a game without music hollow and completely unappealing, so it's interesting how differently we can experience the world.
