Unbearable noises!

I`m with you both granmajet and witzend.
A family member constantly slaps her chops when eating and it drives me mad,
A new family moved over the road from us and the girl constantly screams when outside.
So no peace in or out.

Yes, sniffers! And people who chew gum loudly.

Over-exaggeration of any noises.

Sniffers drive me crazy, drinking noisily, eating with mouths open reminds me of cement mixer,

People who eat with their mouth open. How on earth can they taste what they're eating ? Even those who smell flowers or perfume while their mouths are open.

Loud breathers.

The clicking noise that is made when people pick at their nails, both the noise, and from the point of hygiene.

That very high pitched screaming some children do almost continuously while playing out. ?

It's called misophonia, and I have it to a degree. I tend to move away if DH is eating toast, or virtually anything solid! He has a reflux cough, and that can drive me insane on bad days. Sniffing, burping, all impart the same sense of irritation, and I have to try so hard not to snap.

There is a medical name for the ‘eating’ one grandmajet. I dislike people eating with their mouths open, and my sister used to make a noise like elephants walking on gravel when eating toast, but normal eating doesn’t bother me. Constant sniffing, however, drives me insane!

My neighbours teens who as soon as the sun comes out open the bedroom windows and play loud music while I’m quietly sitting outside reading.
