What you say has a lot of real merit. I have had tinnitus for quite a few years, the solution that works for me is thatI understand it is not going away and it is not hurting me, and thankfully I now have no problems with it though it is still there. Walking into the back garden and hearing the birds giving it large (as I believe you young people say) is a pleasure and also an intellectual excercise as you try to match sound to bird. 5 silly folk setting off from the lights and doing a wheelie up the road can jolt you. Don't tell me that those bikes have to make that level of noise, the sound is tuned to help sell the bike. I have been a bike rider and I understand the thrill involved and the adrenaline jolt you can get., I just think a nice electric engine should do for those nowadays. Just a quiet purr should be fine.

Warning:- Parts of this posting are slightly tongue in cheek.
