noise-alert

What you say to others in your vicinity prior to making a loud/shrill sound with the equipment you're working with; the purpose is to avoid startling them by verbally notifying them of the impending noise so that they can momentarily "brace themselves in expectation", plus it gives them a chance to either cover their ears or move further away if they wish.

White-Noise Blues

The difficulty you experience falling asleep, when you've become accustomed to playing a podcast or YouTube or tv shows before bed.

"That's what I thought! But I just felt isolated instead"
