My time of 1m 48s was rejected for not having audio. (which would put me in position 45/49)

Please list this in the rules for the run as it's currently not listed. The sounds of the objects hurt my ears after a while.

Please list it so people like me don't submit frivolous runs.

I can't remember the game but I have seen people discuss work-arounds to this very issue, on this site. You might find something if you search the forums. There are ways to record the audio for submissions while being unable to hear stuff yourself as a player so you'll be able to enjoy speedrunning without suffering.
