Noises that annoy you

Post Reply New Topic

certain high pitch sounds (pretty sensitive to high pitch noise but only some really bug me), steady repetitive sounds like car door chimes and the sound of dogs licking.

Car alarms that go off for no reason, stop, then go off again
Cars alarms that chirp when the owner opens or locks it

Motorbikes at night.
Insects that fly around me.
Drunk people when I'm trying to sleep.
Maybe there are so many things that I am very easily annoyed by lots of things.

I dislike lound noised like glass breaking, balloons poping, thunder storms ect.

Kids doing that high pitch scream, it goes right through you same as the high pitch that some singers do.

- Kids doing that high-pitched scream
- A fork sliding against a ceramic plate
- A music stand sliding across a linoleum flooring
- Nails against chalkbord
- Cricket ringtone

I can't think of amymore right now. I'll post more when I think of them.

-people closing doors without carefully turning the doorknob
-out of control almost yelling kind of laugh
-loud music including instuments unless played softly (my partner has a banjo and guitar.. drives me crazy)
-tv, I keep it at a volume where I can just make out the words.. the louder I go from there the more uneasy I become

Clapping. It should only be done in groups of 12 people or more.

Trickling/pouring liquid into a glass. Also, those tabletop waterfalls that were all the rage a few years back.

I absolutely hate people whistling. I've noticed it's almost always men who whistle, rarely women.

People chewing with their mouth open
scraping metal utensils on teeth
chalk squeaking on chalk board
car wind percussion (when rear windows of economy cars are open but fronts are shut and at speeds over 30 it makes a percussion or fast beating sound)
dental drills in my mouth, the sound that translates to my ears
dental spray picks in my mouth (the sound that translates to my ears)
extremely high pitched sounds

Just about anything that's too loud.

My mom and brother chewing loudly with their back molars, or just chewing loudly. I swear my brother sounds like a cow sometimes!

High pitched noises make me angry, as does some beepings and buzzing noises. I always have to stop the microwave before it goes off. White noises bothers me too, and that ringing noise that TVs make.

I've gotten myself to not be so sensitive to them, but sometimes if I'm tired and not entirely in control I get angry at certain noises (and I never get angry). Occasionally my brother turns on high pitched ringing just to bother me, because no one else in my family can hear it.

Eating noises annoy the crap out of me too. I can't stand it, I want to punch whoever makes them.

Also high pitch phones. There's one in my office, the guy who uses it puts on the loudspeaker before he dials the number, and I can't stand that noises. It drives me crazy every single time, even though it just lasts a couple of seconds.

I'm ok with most other sounds.

Most people here seem to have problem with high-pitched noises. Me too, but I also feel aversed to very low-pitched noises. I can´t stand men talking in dark booming voices and machinery that gives of low-pitched humming.
It´s like I can only stand noises that´s within a certain range and anything lower or higher gives me pain.
That said I have to point out that low-pitched sounds can annoy me beyond belief but only high-pitched noises, like pieces of styrofoam rubbed against each other, can cause me something that feels almost like physical pain.

vacuum cleaners,heavy boots on a hard wood floor,car horns,the beeping sounds the cash registers used to make in Wal mart,any loud and sudden noise, mice running in the attic when I'm trying to sleep.This bothered me so bad I had fantasies of shooting thru the ceiling with a gun,And I HATE guns and I try to never harm a living being but those mice were really punching my buttons.Thankfully we found their place of entrance and blocked it.and a lot of the other stuff people mentioned.Thank goodness for the nice sounds like birdsong.

I can pretty much agree with everything everyone mentioned to include finding it irritating to hear someone chew.
My least favorite noises though are:
1. Nails on a chalk board.
2. A chair that screeches when someones gets up.
3. The sound of a car driving by with loud music to include loud music right next door to me.
4. Loud construction right outside my window.
5. Loud noises that come out of nowhere.
6. Someone playing with a click-y pen and they won't stop.
7. Someone chewing and usually conversation drowns this out.
8. When TV ads are much louder than the program that is on.
