The actual genuine deep psychological distress daniel feels when he can't pinpoint an imperfection in a piece of music or sound. There is something wrong and he feels it like an itch on his skin he's unable to scratch (because it isn't a physical sensation). He can and has driven himself half hysterical over it. Like listening to the disembodied, madenning unrhythmic tap-tap-taptap of water or the scrape of a fork against porcelain, it's the type of noise that annoys him to the point of anger.

Likewise, though, if a single music note in a composition is written or played wrong, he hones in on it like a bloodhound. It's why he makes a phenomenal performer and conductor, but a horribly picky, self-dictatorial composer.
