cars' engines racing in too-low a gear for the road speed.

The tone of someone's voice when they are being disingenuous. It feels oily and slithery to me and hurts my psyche.

the sound of right-wing talk radio, second only to the sound of sports radio.

Do you guys hate eating with metal forks/spoons? I hate the texture of them and I hate the texture of bathtubs. I only eat with plastic forks/spoons.

Nah those are alright.

Have you ever chewed on a cottonball? Makes my entire body convulse.

Barking Dogs, Loud Phone Ringing

Multiple audio sources. If my kid is next to me playing Angry Birds on his iPad, and my wife starts listening to an audiobook in the kitchen, I lose the ability to focus on anything. Then if the baby or dog start making noise too, I just want to run somewhere quiet. I actually bought earplugs for those situations. They help a lot.

Anything that is loud really. For example, I watch American Horror Story and I've never liked the intro song because the loud sudden noises. I jump at sudden noises too: my household slamming doors, my text ringtone, that sound motorcycles make, etc.

Loud whispers, nails on chalkboard (obvious), phone conversations that are loud when they should be soft especially in public, people on soap operas, people on talk shows, children crying/screaming, people talking in foreign languages at max volume, people singing to songs out loud when they don't need to be, loud chewing.
