Do certain tones of voice annoy you?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm one of those people who struggle to talk. Clearing throat does nothing. It's a neurological thing.

Being annoyed by tones is one thing but ease up on the 'I wanna smack them in the face.' thing. OK? I'm sure people want to smack us sometime because of our weird behaviour.

I like Welsh and English accents too. I like the upper class gentlemanly tone of Rupert Penry Jones.
I also like the mumbly drawl of an accent by young Australian males. Although not with too much of an Aussie accent in them.
There's a singer with a really quiet distinct voice which I feel comforting.
My mum has a friend with a very annoying accent. And then she laughs. It's almost like a cackle. And she has no volume control.

I think it was said out of frustration, for a jokey effect, and the intention wasn't to be violent and actually, physically hit someone.
Substitute "smack their wrists" for a (maybe) funnier picture?

Yep, love it. I like hearing the hints of cockney English that still come through it.

I wish I was white, that way I could be serenated by the silk like milk honey of celtic women speaking Galelic, or I imagine, how Errowlyn speaks, or the rythem flowing perfection of Aborginal languages.

Noooo I'm stuck here in Shanghai. Where Arrrrrghhhh I can't take it anymore...... I can't take the screech catwailing of the women haggling for 1 RMB (.0000007 USD), for a 1 RMB FISH!! !! I can't take the angry honking of horns as if people were having an intellectual conversation. I can't take their INDOOR voice (OUTDOOR voice). It's like a choir orchestra of VUVUZELAS, if CATS blew them, while singing Antino Sallieri Operetttas, while blowing their nose, as a Hockey NHL Goal is Scored! It grates on my nerves, it makes me grind my teeth to the nerve strings.

Especially my manic Aunt, who calls my dad ever 5 nano seconds, during rush hour, because her paranoid mind believes he is planning a flee away....he is.

I never watch any TV news for precisely that reason.


You're the only person I know, apart from me, who calls certain voices "stabby." And that's exactly how they feel - like being stabbed repeatedly every time they emphasise a word.

High pitched noises and voices.

Sorry, I take things literally. Also, a bit oversensitive.


There are many annoying Australian women with this accent. And one was singing in a song that I was listening to. Good song until she opened her mouth.

's Ok, don't worry. And I hope it didn't sound like I was being picky or "finger-wagging" at you.

Love the way you put that.

Not necessarily tones, but I HATE it when I can tell that someone isn't using their real voice, like when women try to talk in a cutesy voice that isn't their own on a regular basis, actually trying to convince people that it's their voice.

My voice isn't all that feminine naturally but I don't care lol. It's not deep either, it's just a voice and I would never try to use a different one.
