Iaijutsu makes the noises one time then you do others attacks with a longer window in-between each time. Iaijustsu has 7.5 seconds (no SkS) before it can be used with 1 seal and that's for the dot which you're not doing all the time. Then using all 3 seals, around 17 to 20 seconds.

Where as GNB has a 1 2 3 combo each of which was close 7.5 seconds SFXs, in rapid succession and usually repeated more than once.

Its not hear the sound once = instant migraine, its repeated exposer in a short period of time and sometimes over multiple combos. Just like a flashing or flicking lights or a holy spam.
