Mine has always been vision and hearing hard sounds, like doors closing. I can hear all the stupid little sounds like that. And I'm just weirdly good at deciphering shadows at night as long as there's some light.

I'm sure in ancient times this variation of who has good senses for what served a purpose.

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.

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.

That makes sense spend enough time around them you'll become adept to their ways.
