The most annoying sounds.

Sign in to disble this ad
This is a thread to post about which sounds you find instantly and exceedingly annoying. The kind of sound that goes straight into your brain, bypasses the frontal lobe, and immediately begins triggering pain receptors. The kind of sound that makes you simultaneously cringe in pain and turn into a wall of inexorable hate and destruction.

The one noise that does this to me is a dog's barking. It pisses me off to no end, I simply can't deal with it.

Soprano saxophones. I can't stand that sound.
Same thing with those snake charmer flute things.

Also, the laughter of children.

The sound of a mosquito flying around my face as I'm about to fall asleep.

The sound of construction or "home repair" type of activity on a Saturday morning when I'm trying to sleep off a hangover.

Most of the crappy music, I mean, "noise" they play at bars or events to supposedly "get people moving".

I have sensitive ears... After all, I am a musician.

That, and the horrible screeching a piece of sheet steel makes when you're trying to cut it with a saw.

Doors slamming, makes me contemplate murder. That eeennn-eeennn-eeennn-eeennn alarm sound is straight from the gates of hell but it does its job I guess.

people that "pop" gum very loud, especially in supermarkets or churches
a dripping faucet- not loud but annoying
people that eat potato chips or anything like that while on the telephone
a drummer that is too loud and his tone pierces your ears
a guitarist " " "
exceedingly loud televisions that are on all day

Slap bass. Sounds like a set of spanners being dropped in an oil drum to me......

Oh, okay:
