annoying sounds

Post Reply New Topic

The posts helped me gather some of mine:

- Loud Stereo/TV department "music" - sucks
- Sheer Rap
- Too repetitive music (make my ears recalling and recalling)
- Loud TV commercials, fortunately I watch little TV (this sound is highly compressed in dynamics and bass-boosted)
- Tapping fingers / mouth sounds (except mine )
- Moving the curtains on a loud rail in the apartment below
- Harsh sounds from the watertubes in the building
- Coughing at night in the neighborhood
- Extended barking periods at night
- Hearing a loud conversation. This is asocial, anyway.
- Loud car-door falpping when I try to rest.
- All-day commercial radio listening at my workplace can accumulate into high irritation.
- When somebody regularly laughs unnatural and loud.
- All sort of low-level and low-frequency sounds. This may include modified/bad car exhaust systems, nearby plants, nearby highway, etc.

Vacuums don't bother me, perhaps because I was fascinated by them in my childhood.
I learned to cope with these and similar things better along the years, though I was never that sensitive to loud sounds generally.

Voices through the wall or on the other side of the house.
Pen/pencil tapping.
Foot stomping/tapping.
My dog barking.

Some of these are more than annoying but:

Vacuum cleaners
Snow blowers
Anything that beeps
The shrill grinding bell sound of an egg timer
Crinkly noises
Refridgerator humming
Buzzing lights (especially flourescent lights)
Construction equipment
Sirens
Elevator music

Tongue clicking
Whiny children
Open mouth chewing

Everything previously mentioned
&
water chestnuts!

They simply drive me mad! I have never eaten anything so obnoxiously loud in my life. How do people even tolerate them?

a good seasoned and marinated waterchestnut is proof that god loves one. they make a most delightful crunchy sound when you chew on 'em. but that's just me.

-A garbage truck trash compactor.

-A toilet when the chain from the handle blocks the water plug.

-Car horns and alarms. I'm grateful that I don't have a car that sets off the alarm when I lock the door. It's irritating to me when some people lock their door well over three times, and I have to hear their whimpy horn beep. "Yes, we know that you have arrived! Now stop it!"
