Unbearable noises!

Kidzkan I am just like you, can't bear licking lolly sticks - nice to find someone else!

The noise of people moaning on for no solid reason, like you.

Bunny1, I’ve started a thread for lovely noises etc, so we can have a smile too.

Like most people, I dislike the sound of others eating, sniffing, and anything involving phlegm makes me heave. When the children were small I could cope with nappies, nose bleeds, even vomit, but had to really gather all my strength when it came to snot. My biggest nightmare is being beside a sniffer, the urge to shout 'blow it!' and hand them a tissue! I hate the sound of a door banging in the wind, or a tap dripping, and like someone else on here, I have to turn the TV off when the One Show comes on, I really can't bear Alex's accent and pitch of her voice....with apologies to anyone Welsh, there is something about the pitch and tone of her voice that is like finger nails on a blackboard to me!

My dh’s absolutely explosive sneezing. I’ve had to learn to live with it though - he can’t seem to understand that it’s really not necessary to YELL!!! at the top of your voice at the same time. ?

The sound of toppings being scraped onto toast makes me shudder.

We’re not moaning Bunny1, just sharing our unbearable noise experiences. It’s more irritation than anger. A good idea to start a new thread of noises we all love grandmajet. For instance, for me, one of them is children playing happily in our local village primary school. ♥️

Reading through the posts and realising just how angry people can get, and how close to the edge these noises and habits can make us all, it's remarkable that murders for such irritations are not more frequent. I can see the headlines now 'It was the custard! I couldn't stand another day!'

I hate putting wood in my mouth. Lolly sticks, environmentally friendly wooden cutlery, makes me cringe.

Yes, narrowboatnan, a horse chewing hay is a lovely sound, why is that? Maybe we should start a lovely sounds thread!

Kalu, ditto (spray glue's the answer)!

Weekend - lawnmowers, strimmers, hedge trimmers, power washers - all used in predictable succession (for hours on end) every nice, warm, dry weekend or bank holiday - by my lovely next door neighbours.

Sorry, [Margithea] and [Patsy70] but it’s MY husband who has the loudest sneeze in the world. The worst is when I’m not aware he is in the same room eg my back turned to him in the kitchen and he sneezes - I jump out of my skin. He has also had a constant wet cough for a few years involving lots of throat clearing which drives me INSANE. Not to mention his noisy eating. ?

The Archers theme tune, can’t stand the programme, so nearly break my neck to switch it off.
James O’Brien on LBC, not only his voice, but smug statements.

Has anyone mentioned the horrible noise made by knuckles being cracked?

I don’t like the sound of people eating loudly, but, oddly enough, I love the sound of a horse contentedly chewing its hay ?‍♀️

A dripping tap gets on my nerves more than any noise emanating from a human being.

I cannot stand noisy breathers or snoring, it really winds me up especially when someone is whistling through their nose. I feel like getting a large heavy item and smacking them in the face with it. Soooo irritating.

My husbands snoring/grunting!!!!

Find it difficult to be in the presence of anyone chomping on an apple. Would never say anything, of course, as they are always enjoying the experience. I just make myself as scarce as I can without being too obvious.

I can't abide hearing someone blowing their nose when in a restaurant of cafe. Really puts me off my food.

Maybe we’ve all been locked in with the perpetrators of the annoying sounds for the past year!

Sorry, I can't stand the noise of next door's primary school age children! The two boys roar and shout or make endless noises that seem to resemble engines and their small sister whines and squeals especially when they tease her. We can hear them through the walls not just in the garden and even my patient DH gets annoyed.

Interesting that this thread has started as I'm being driven mad by DH's noisy eating! He slurps and chomps and I swear it's got worse. If I tell him about it he shrugs it off.

I've just seen Patsy70's comment about sneezing - he does that too!!!!

I can't stand club music in gymns or shops, motor bikes and if I am in someone's house the sound of a caged bird! My friend used to have a budgie and she put it in another room when I visited. the screeching got on my nerves.
