Or is is pretty black and white? Either you are NT or on the Spectrum?

I can hear the sounds of electricity. Power lines hum, lamps buzz, electrical devices squeal. I thought these were normal, but maybe I'm more sensitive than most people. The only one that I know is normal is the 15,734Hz whine of a television set, although most people over 20 can't hear it because of hearing degradation.
edit: If you have a cell phone with a charger, plug it in to the wall and listen if you can hear the variable high-pitched noises. Mine is a Motorola phone and charger. It sounds really cool.
...i can pretty much hear most of what you are describing,except for squealing.which makes me want to hear the cool motorola noise...

As for nightsounds, I cannot sleep in a quite room. I can't even sit in a quiet room for more that 30-60 minutes. At night, I have the TV, or some sort of music, playing all night.
same with me,only the radio stations are funky here.the Dj's aren't that good so there are these huge silent gaps between songs.

You have a point. I can't remember anyone talking about this before!
Sensory issues (or sensory integration disorder) can happen in non-autistics too. It's neurological and can be a disorder on it's own or appear alongside on the spectrum, in AD(H)D, Tourette's, learning disorders and many more.
Maybe its one of those things where everyone knows about it but were afraid to ask.>->
