What is something you can sense that few-if-any people you know can sense? Literal answers only.

I can smell your fabric softener, no matter how long ago you used it. Artificial perfumes of any kind just murder my sinuses. It suuuucks. I also can hear electronics, even just the lights, if that's all that's on. Maddening, because I can almost never find real silence. It's why I love camping.

Every time I say I hear electricity, people think I lie. But it makes noise! I hear my blood too.

Can you do that thing where you flex some internal muscle and hear a loud rumbling that I assume is rushing blood? It’s hard to explain. I think the muscle is related to the jaw, or maybe ear movement. It’s not externally perceivable, but it’s useful on an airplane.

Is that something like swallow or gently blow through the nose with closing your nose? This is what I’m suppose to do to release pressure on my eardrum, but I have no idea what you mean.

Those things pop your ears, yeah, but they’re not what I mean, and they don’t make the noise. Oh well.
