Folks, I'm begging you.
Don't make autistic people in public areas listen to your device's noise. It's bad enough at volume when you can hear everything going on but the skzt-skzt-skzt of a low volume can become meltdown worthy. It can't be tuned out and it's rude as hell to force other people to listen to your noise.
Use earbuds or ear phones in public. Don't be a fucking asshole.

@ruemaleficent People seem to rarely think of the experience of other people. I've got an area in the city (which I avoid) with a constant high pitch swoop swoop. Possibly one of those Pest deterrence tools. It's just at the end of my hearing range. Very few others seem to hear it, even fewer find the sound annoying.
Disclaimer: Please, don't use this as guide on how to be annoying to (some) autistic people.
