The most annoying sounds.

Ah yes... I forgot... this one might be hard to explain, but I really, really, really hate THAT female singing voice. You know the one that I'm talking about. Young. Anxious. Wailing. Heavily processed in post-production. Overly glossy and completely devoid of any legit emotion? The one that's been all over the radio and television for like ten years now?

I dunno man... just irks me...
 
I share a cubicle with a jackass with a squeeky chair. He thinks the epitome of humor is to set up a long continuous squeek while I'm on the phone trying to solve a customers problem. I really hate that guy.......
 
Duckwater, I have an Aussie accent!! It can't be that bad??

-Fran Dreschers voice/laugh
-When babies are crying really hard and produce that screech sound
-Cutlery squeaking on porcelain plates
-MIJ cars (you cant beat the sound of a V8!!)
-Kookaburras outside my window when I have a hangover

cheers,
Jordan
 
On another note........................pun intended..........

Woofy car audio systems and rap music. God BLESS our LEO's that enforce sound ordinances.

Also, fart can exhausts. Not to " wannabe tuners", unless the motor can justify a low restriction exhaust...........it just sounds annoying. A stock Honda don't need $700 fart can sticking out the back :rolleyes:

Oh man... HUGE +1. I used to live in a basement apartment on a very busy main street, and these things would drive me absolutely bonkers at night. Just a whole bunch of "UNCE-UNCE-UNCE-UNCE-BRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZPPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTT-UNCE-UNCE-UNCE-UNCE" at all hours of the God Damned night...

Not to mention the sound of rattling fiberglass ground kits... what a bunch of goofs...
 
Whispering...unless it's a beautiful woman whispering in my ear! :D

Excessive dog barking.

Any flying insect that buzzes.

That "Annie" voice - "The sun'll come out tomorrow" - immature female (and male) voices are just grating to me. Some young kids can really sing, but more often than not, they're just precocious and annoying.

All ringtones - even if it's a song I love, it still sounds like it's coming out of a tin can!

Car alarms.

The various beeps, boops and bips associated with using modern gadgets.

Boy, I sure hope I don't sound too old! :hiding:
