Im not sure but i think that it depens on the distance of the stimulus
Answered by Ms. Sue
I disagree with your answer. It doesn't explain why a dripping faucet bothers you some times and not others, even when you're the same distance from the sound.

so it depends on whether they choose to pay atention to it.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. That's your best choice.

It also depends on the habituation of the stimulus. Rather than conditioned excitation, you would get conditioned inhibition here.
