Unbearable noises!

Clicks things!

Im with you Patsy 70 my other half taps and claim cks things has a huge sneeze and an irritating nervous cough.

If I'm working, any background noise disturbs me.

I am also very sensitive to noise most of the time. TV that is too loud drives me nuts. Can be a problem because my bloke is a bit deaf and has the tv on loud. I also like the class of children I am teaching to keep their noise lower than average.

I love silence. It's the only time I feel able to be 100% focused on whatever I am doing.

Patsy70, I am completely with you with the tapping, pen clicking, my husband is the same. He also does a kind of almost inaudible humming/singing thing which is infuriating.
He is lovely apart from his noises!

I can’t bear metallic noises, like saucepan lids falling.
After a year spent mostly alone I’d dearly love a meeting of friends and family sniffing, snoring, playing loud music, with yapping dogs, screaming kids and low-flying aircraft overhead. Just no saucepan lids, please.

Neighbours music as soon as the sun comes out, windows open Capitol Radio on as loud as possible, awful music, so many jingles - he's over 80.

Yes, barking dogs left behind when neighbours go out. It drives me crazy.

Barking dogs, especially the yappy ones. I had a neighbour who left their yappy dog barking for 3 hours in their garden.

Also the final spin on a washing machine, it seems to go on just that bit too long.

I now understand the dog thing! I've always loved dogs, and barking never really bothers me (unless the dog sounds distressed) but our neighbours have just spent £2,000 (as they proudly told me, so I suppose that must be relevant) on two sausage dogs. They leave them in the conservatory whilst they are both out at work full time, and the dogs bark ALL. DAY. LONG. It is ceaseless.

Then the owners come home and let them out into the garden, where they spend about an hour barking at every blade of grass - and each other.

I can tolerate deep barking, but the yapping is really getting on my nerves.

A nearby neighbour whose son has recently got a very noisy car which sounds like a plane taking off in the morning
Dogs as there are just too many of them always barking at nothing

My near neighbour’s bloody wind chimes. Bad enough during daylight hours, worse at bedtime with a bedroom window open. Once that chime enters my head as I try to fall asleep, I become unreasonable!!??

Eating is the worst. Close second for me is whispering. There's something that really bugs me about it, but I can never put my finger on it.

Sniffing.
Big dogs ‘woofing’, small dogs ‘yapping’.
The squawky woman on the One Show.
Canned laughter on so-called comedy shows.
Boy racers who rev their engines constantly.

I’m very intolerant, so my OH constantly reminds me! He’s a tapper - tapping the knife whilst waiting for his toast to pop up; tapping the pencil whilst doing the crossword; clicking the pen on and off etc. etc. He says it’s because he’s a musician! Doesn’t sound very musical to me. ?. He’s also got the loudest sneeze I’ve ever heard. I hate sniffing too. Just blow your nose for goodness sake. There are more. Perhaps he’s right and I’m just intolerant. ?

I hate "vocal fry"too.
WHY do people do it?

Well, Sarnia, the custard and snow ones are fairly unique.

No, I totally get the custard one...
????
Arghhhhh

Someone scratching their leg with long nails when they have tights on.

The style of singing used in musicals now, the voice placed in the nose, I can’t bear it.
Oh for the days of Rodgers & Hammerstein, when the voices were used so well and often had an opera background.

Sniffing! Ugh. I also can't stand the sound of someone using nail clippers. Just writing that makes me shudder.

Barking dogs, especially the yappy ones. I had a neighbour who left their yappy dog barking for 3 hours in their garden.

Also the final spin on a washing machine, it seems to go on just that bit too long.

Coughing up and spitting is disgusting, football being kicked against a fence drives me mad. The tv volume too loud very irritating. Women with foghorn voices screaming at their children especially in shops. Only for the fact I can’t run fast I would tell them to zip it.

Well, Sarnia, the custard and snow ones are fairly unique.

Constant sniffers drive me up the wall. For some weird reason spooning dry custard out of the container and walking through deep snow makes my flesh crawl.

Sniffing and throat clearing, particularly when there's obviously phlegm involved! Chewing/eating with mouths open. The squeak of expanded polystyrene and squealing children.

Some people with sinus problems eat with their mouths open as that’s the only way they can breath.

Virtually any noise with me.
I can’t understand why so many people hate a silent house and have to have a radio or tv on all the time.

I feel so sorry for those who have noisy neighbours whether it’s a barking dog, noisy children or loud music.

I seem to be the only person to cover my ears in the street if a police or ambulance passes with the siren blaring. It does cause physical pain.

I have been aware since I was a child that I have a low tolerance level of noise.
