Sounds that really annoy you

Post Reply New Topic

Loud people do me head in.

Smoke alarms, whistles, metal/ceramics rattling.
A nail scratching on blackboard

The wet "squwitchy" sound of food moving around a person's mouth when they chew with their mouths closed.

The fluttery sounding backup beepers on garbage trucks (single tone beepers don't bother me).

The sound of babies/small children breathing.

Vacuum cleaners, some scraping sounds, people laughing at awful jokes and hammering when I'm trying to concentrate.

Vacuum cleaners,alarm clocks,and the worst,the squeak when Styrofoam rubs together.
And the mummer of voices and the clink of silver ware in a restaurant.

Whistling and coins scrapping against things are really painful noises for me.

where do I start...?
- chewing with mouth open, chewing loud, people eating something squishy/crunchy/gummy/etc, drinking, slurping, etc. smacking lips, making mouth noises, licking fingers... (I have a hard time eating with other people)
- when people scrape their shoe on cement
- loud voices, and some people's voices are just that certain pitch that really hurt my ears
- high pitch noises
- clapping
- water bed, water balloons, water against a small boat
- busses when they stopped and make air noises
- studded snow tires
- electric toothbrushes
- whistles and people whistling
- wind shield wipers
- blinkers in cars
- the noise of a light that blinks on and off
- treble - all of my radios have the treble turned down all the way, it bugs everyone I know...
- markers that squeak when you write
- when people skateboard over the sidewalk cracks
- car alarms
- bugs buzzing
- silverwear on plates when they scrape and squeak
- multiple people talking in the background

and many more...

- metal, like pots and utensils, clanking against each other or a tile counter
- beep noises: refrigerator 'door open warning', dishwasher, clothes washer, microwave, range, seat belt warning, various cell phones, and worst: smoke alarm going off just because I'm cooking
- scrape/honk noise when people don't unweight their chair before pushing themselves away from desk or table
- high pitched engine noise, like two stroke motorcycle at high rev
- the heat ventilator on the roof spinning in the wind or on a hot day (scritch, scritch, scritch)
- telephone and doorbell ringing
- power tools of all kinds
- lots of voices and laughter all at once
- pigeons
- closing door without turning handle first, crack-boom-snap noise, slamming door

Birds outside, five in the morning. My brain finally gives in to the posability of sleep just as they all seem to wake up.

Other people tapping .It's quite hard to justify telling them to stop it though, when I am constantly tapping myself

When I was younger my spine would jump out of my back if someone popped a balloon near me.

There are lots of trains around Seattle. Have you ever heard their steel wheels grinding to a halt? Skreeeeekk!! It's like somebody pulling out your fingernails with pliers.

Vibrations. For instance, the dashboard paneling in my car making vibration noises because some component of it is loose. I am forever pressing my fingers against said paneling to make it stop when i drive.

Jingling. Metal tabs of backpacks rattling against each other. Keys.

dripping water.

the sound of large quantities of people all talking at once. like in a restaurant.

people clearing their throat.

saxophones.

too much bass frequency added to a recorded speaking voice. like talk radio. talk radio always has too much bass frequency.

vacuums, carpet cleaners.

diesel engines.

ticking clocks. i have a clock that ticks. i took the battery out. now it is just hanging on the wall because i like how it looks.

I hate:

*Cats screeching
*That sound of breathing through your teeth
*The 'wiping' sound on a rough fabric
*Shouting
*Screams
*Burps
