#2 I hate to break it to him, but I,m getting pretty far away from my own, yett the stuff does come back.
Noise and smell. Something about those that we cannot filter quite as well. It goes straight in and wakes things up that we wish we had forgotten.

It gets less frequent as time passes, but it never gets better, just more familiar.

#3 For me, its the smell of cordite, and the smell oil makes when it burns, and the electrical smell a burning tank makes. And the dry smell. and the nasty wet dog covered in cat crap smell of the Euphrates.

#4 we human are hard wired as visual processors, and are very language centric in our auditory processing. smells and non-lingual sounds are not very important to our higher brain, so we process them at a more emotional level.

from my psych 101 class.
