Saxophones. Tonally they seem to drown out other acoustic Instruments in a Jazz band. IMO Charlie Parker sounds like a goose being tortured.

Slap bass. I just can't get with it.
I swear there must be at least a dozen gardeners in my neighborhood. I hear lawnmowers and weed wackers almost every day, and usually multiple times on each day. It drives me crazy. If I'm around on a Tuesday or a Friday, there will be three different gardeners making noises, on each of those days.
My redneck neighbors used to use an air horn (The kind you use at sporting events) as a doorbell. That irritated me, as well. It was very inconsiderate to the neighborhood.
There is a particular noise that some app or social media network makes when you get notifications, and I am always hearing it from people's phones, when they don't turn the volume down. The twitter noise is annoying, but there is another one that grinds my gears, and I don't know what it is called.

Same here...All day Wednesdays they are out there weed wacking and mowing....I cannot work with the noise
Fireworks, and any other explosions the remind me of being shelled and/or bombed....
Same for me, with regards to the sharp noise. Phones not so much but some ringtones totally annoy me.
This has been driving me and my Fiancee completely bonkers lately. We have 3 neighbors with Harleys, and the noise reverberates through the complex. I’m all for riding, motorcycles are awesome for the most part, but the lack of muffler is obnoxious.
Our townhouse backs up to a busy road, and on weekend nights when the weather's nice, it sounds like a drag strip out there. Mostly motorcycles. It sucks, and there isn't a thing we can do about it. Except move.
You can get a ticket for a broken or loud muffler on your car but straight pipes on a Harley is okee doke, Harley is way louder and more obnoxious and these A holes do it just cause they can, same goes for these guys and there pickup trucks, "Loud pipes saves lives" Oh B*#w me.
also the urban troubadors and they're super turbo head crushing bass car stereo, that's what I want to hear after a long day at work, turn it up so everyone in a half mile radius can enjoy it too
