Unbearable noises!

Any rapping “music.”
Snoring
Screaming
Motorbikes.

Could go on, but don’t want to seen intolerant!

What about the washing machine bleeping when it’s finished the cycle... and bleeping and bleeping and bleeping until I drag my rickety bones up to switch it off.

A lot of the above, the rubbing together of dry hands is one of the worst. I had a friend who whenever we sat for a coffee together would tap with her fingernails on the table to emphasise her point. It drove me bonkers, I had to ask her to stop. My son is really sensitive to noises, clocks ticking, his father's noisy eating, his nail picking, my scraping my shoe on the edge of the table. But reading how many things you've all mentioned that bother me too, I can see where he gets it from !

You are very lucky GreenGran78. I wonder if GNs on this thread are guilty of making unbearable noises. ? Maybe men are more tolerant? misty34, my sympathies! ?

Good heavens! I don’t know how some of you manage to get through the day without having a nervous breakdown.
While a loud, ongoing and persistent noise might irritate me a little I can honestly say that my tolerance levels are very high. I never realised that so many people are sensitive to the trivialities of life’s sounds. I must be very lucky.

Here’s a funny one, the sound of dry skin on hands being rubbed together, makes me cringe ?

Haha BBJS, I remember that scene too!

I’ve only once been to see a ballet - I didn’t think it would be my scene but we went to see The Nutcracker as I knew I’d like the music - but I found the noise of the ballet shoes scuffing over the floor really horrible! I never went again.

The sound of a keyboard being tapped really sends me over the edge ?

I'm also a sniffer hater! many a morning I have been stuck on a bus with someone sitting behind me , sniffing. I have on more than one occasion handed out tissues to the culprit!
One of my brothers hates the sound of when you pull cotton wool apart!

My DH can do multi decibel sneezes that make my ears hurt. He also has a habit of bashing his teeth (his own not false) together when he’s eating and it echoes like a horse eating a carrot. Can’t bear metal scraping on saucepans either.

Yes the custard one too. Teeth on edge

Reference to "Chicago": " Barny was chewing gum, and popping it. So I took the shotgun from the wall and fired two warning shots straight into his Head - he had it coming.....

I can hear this song now while reading all your posts about annoying noises; she got life in prison.

Jazz music makes me feel ill. No idea why.

And I don't like screaming children either. What I found intriguing though, was the noise from a playground in this country was exactly the same in Italy when I lived out there.

Quite bizarre.

I live next door to a child who is either whining or screaming. When the sibling is home from school if one screams the other screams and they can keep it up for a whole afternoon. The parents have obviously never taught them to use "indoor voices" as everything is at full volume. I've now taken to playing 70's and 80's rock and pop music to drown it out. The high pitched screaming upsets my dog and he gets very unsettled. As for the eating noises, it's one of the reasons I finally divorced my oh there were times I needed to stay away from sharp objects, especially when he was eating cereals ?

Patsy, I'm with you on the loud sneeze! It puts my teeth on edge when I hear the old man making a strange cough/sneeze combo. He says he doesn't know what it is until it comes out! My sneezes are quiet squeaks or usually stopped. But random but one of my work colleagues used to sneeze and it sounded like a large dog bark. I felt sorry for his wife!

Yapping or barking dogs drives me mad . I often feel sorry for them too, and I don’t even like dogs!
The high pitched , babyish , whining voices of some girls really rattles me . Especially if they are not particularly young children.

Sniffers. They drive me absolutely crazy. I have been known to get a tissue out of my bag and hand it over, silently, with death ray glares, to complete strangers who seem incapable of blowing their noses. It's utterly, stomach turningly revolting. There. I feel better now.

Bluedaisy I'd have moved too. Best of luck in the new place.

People talking over each other. I turn off a TV programme if it starts.
Piers Morgan is someone I rarely watch because of that.

I think I must have mysophonia. I can remember as a child shouting to my mum that my brother was ‘breathing’ again. He couldn’t breath through his nose due to problem adenoids, which he later had out. Listening to him was like torture to me. I know what you mean Curlywhirly. I dreaded my husband eating a bag of crisps. I used to say, put your fingers in the bag and take a crisp out and put it in your mouth, why do you have to rummage round the bag first. grrrrrrh.

Bakingmad0203, please don’t worry about leaving a space around me, it makes it less likely for the irritating noises to get to me!?

I used to eat my lunch alongside a charming, polite lady who always had an apple. unfortunately she sounded like a horse when she ate it. This was 29 years ago and I still go cold when I remember it, Thankyou B9exchange for giving me a name for it.
I will tell my DD that she has 'misophonia' when she objects to my breathing when we go walking. I usually ask her if she would like me to stop breathing!

Dogs constantly barking.
Screaming children.
Plastic chairs being scrapped on concrete.
Car alarms in the middle of the night.

Noisy eaters grates on my last nerve? noisy breathers,loud sneezers..I'm sure it's done on purpose sometimes? throat clearing..urgh!! For me the noisy eating is the worst,it sets of panic & anxiety.I really really hate it.I live with all of these ...aaarrrggghhhhh.???

I get frustrated with screaming children, adverts that are immediately louder than the programme I was watching. Constantly barking dogs, we bought a gadget once as a neighbours dog barked from when they went out to when they came back. The gadget seems to settle the dog somewhat so made life easier. Also football noise, bang, bang, bang - my head is banging along to the thump of it.
