Noises that bother you.

Noises that bother me?
Loud bassy,thumping Hip-hop.
It's intrusive.

Cars and oversized pickup trucks that have a loud exhaust system.It says "Look at me!

Free Jazz.

Awful.

Hysterically screaming dissonant horns that sound as if someones having their leg sawed off.
Slowly.

The pianist is banging his fists on the keys.
The drummer is is just flailing away.
The double bass is rapidly mumbling some rubbery"Blblblblblblblbblbl"


There's no tune or melody for you to hum.
To remember and take with you through the day.
Chaos in pretense of art.
Everything is going in all different directions at the same time creating a cacophony of incoherent nonsense that's just randomness based on randomness based on randomness based on randomness based on randomness based on.........

Yapping from dogs that are smaller than my cat.
Car alarms, useless because no one pays any attention to them thus negating their purpose.
Helen Reddy, HRC and Fran Drescher.
Something about the pitch or whine of their voice makes me wanna throw a brick at my TV.

Any brass horn, it's the same as a car horn to me. Harmonica's irritate me as well. Although I like bagpipes and flutes.
I much prefer a Flugelhorn or cornet or a trumpet with a brass mute. A regular trumpet can sound rather harsh, but luckily for others it's tiring to play it that way.

A pro Harmonica with a plastic comb has the mellowest tone. Harp played thru a harp mic into an overdriven guitar valve amp sound incredible. Thru vocal mic + PA they sound shrill.

Love a bit of Jazz Flute ala The Anchorman. Or this...
 
Overly sensitive car alarms waking me up, due to slight wind or the air friction of a car passing by.

Nails on the chalkboard.

Autotuned “singers.”

Snoring, although I’ve started doing it as I got older. The trick is being the person to fall asleep first.

People who use “Like” a ridiculous number of times within the same sentence.

I suppose sirens of Firetrucks, Ambulances & Police passing by, although I quickly consider their destination is not my home and that is the comforting.

Feedback.

The change battery "Beep" on the smoke detectors only seem to start going off at night time when I’m sleeping.

Crying babies on an airplane. I’m already a little tense for entire duration of flights.

This will only make sense to current wrestling fans, but chants like “What?”, “CM Punk”, (who I personally liked but it’s not respectful while other individuals are wrestling), excessively overuse of “This is Awesome!”, “You deserve it!”, and “You still got it!”

Screaming and wailing of torture emitting from neighbor’s basement (LMAO This is just a joke! Although that would be quite annoying to me. Shut up and take the torture like an adult!)
