As someone who suffers from misophonia/hyperacusis, I can wholeheartedly relate to this film. No, "Sounds Like" isn't perfect or even close to that, but at least it exists, albeit in a cheesy fashion. The only full-length film I can think of where someone is driven to great lengths to eliminate aggravating sounds is Namdev Bhau: In Search of Silence. Unfortunately, as Namdev Bhau isn't available anywhere to buy or stream, it'll be a while before I see it. In the mean time, those of us looking for fiction movies like that would have to settle for the one and only "Sounds Like." This Masters of Horror outing isn't really that bad. Highly exaggerated? Certainly, but that's how Hollywood works. They make it so you can see someone's mental illness from half a mile away. No subtlety there. In any case, I hope they make more films about this annoying, aggravating, destructive, intolerable affliction and the great lengths people go through for silence.
