I can smell your fabric softener, no matter how long ago you used it. Artificial perfumes of any kind just murder my sinuses. It suuuucks. I also can hear electronics, even just the lights, if that's all that's on. Maddening, because I can almost never find real silence. It's why I love camping.

I experience the first set of powers, and I hate it. Every detergent, shampoo, deodorant I use is “sensitive”, “baby formula” or whatever. And a few years ago some deodorant company started using some I guess artificial compounds that just pushes the air out of my lungs, it’s so bad. I can not only smell it, it digs into my forehead.

Every time I say I hear electricity, people think I lie. But it makes noise! I hear my blood too.

I’ve got one light in a room that makes a quiet whining noise when on, seemingly only after a minute or so (maybe after it warms up a bit). Thankfully I can just keep it off just fine, but occasionally I’ll turn it on for a bit more brightness, and realise it’s still on a while later by the annoying noise.

The beeping on my monitors power led drives me insane if it’s on standby mode and flashing

I’ve never been a big fragrance guy. When I found out about people like you, I decided to just go fragrance free. If it’s not a big deal to me and it gives a few people headaches to be near me, might as well just not do it. There are some tangential benefits. My deodorant irritates my armpits less now. My hair oil used to irritate my skin if it got on my forehead. Now it doesn’t.
