    I am oddly good at hearing engine noises. If a motor or piece of machinery starts doing something different I usually hear it. I worked in manufacturing and I could usually call out a machine that was about to breakdown. Also when a part has been replaced I usually hear the difference in noise.

      Now you’ve got me wondering if your super hearing stops at machinery or if you could hear the human body doing it’s thing, provided a stethoscope and test subject- I mean willing participant.

      It’s not necessarily that you hear more than someone else, but you have the experience to have trained your hearing to discern those sounds.

      It’s something I also experience from my time working around machines. Works on all sorts of things.
