The Mind's Tendency to React to Unpleasantness of the Sound

The mind is reacting to the feeling tone arising in that moment of contact. We don't see that it's the feeling that we're reacting to, and not the object itself. If we don't see this, then we get into a struggle with the object. Oh, the feeling is just an impermanent arising and passing away. It's easier to see the ephemeral impermanent nature of the feeling.
