Annoying noises

Anything pedantic, I switch off at the plug

What do you mean please?

Very interesting. Someone scrunching on an apple is excruciating for me. Happily it usually only last for 10 minutes at the most. Also, I observe these scrunchers are really enjoying themselves and it would be churlish to comment. I sometimes find it necessary to remove myself from the room though. I really like and appreciate 'that guy' on BBC1 Saturday Kitchen. Isn't it a good thing that we're all different?!

Another vote for sniffing and people who gasp at the end of sentences - like the character Phil in Eastenders!

Oops husband's

Ticking clocks and my husbands snoring!

Careful what you wish for comes to mind. Here we heard of people who bought new houses behind a large supermarket. They collectively complained about large lorries delivering at night so nighttime deliveries were stopped. But then there was no papers milk bread or most of the other fresh foods until the afternoon. So the lorries returned at night lol.
Also another family bought a house next to a church and complained to the council about the bells being rung. So the bells stopped but nobody in the village would speak or interact with the family and they had many nasty interactions with the locals. It was so bad that they sold up and moved away. Then the bells were reinstated.
Also a lady bought a house with a private lane that was a right of way. She tried to get dogwalkers in trouble by photographing them and reporting them to the council for dogs not on a lead. A local person told her that everyone in the village hated her because of it, and nobody would speak to her.
Doesn't pay to upset the locals imo

We live quite near the sea and have the constant noise of waves crashing on the shore. A constant dull rumble. But I find it quite comforting and I’m sure would miss it if we moved

The repeated monotonous single note as background on TV programmes. Do non of the musical directors have any musical training It is distracting . At least I can turn the sound off and read the sub titles.

I'm afraid I have to put up with annoying noise wherever I go.
Tinnitus, a constant hissing sound.
External noise, the donkey braying in the field behind our house.

I agree that screaming is annoying - young children can be taught not to do it, and there is no excuse for teenagers or young adults.

Sniffing, coughing and throat clearing dried me insane. I know not everyone can help it and I sympathise, but it makes me feel ill.

Snoring is the worst though. Trying to sleep when my husband is loudly advertising the fact that he is in dreamland makes me want to kill him to death, then wake him up and kill him again.

ASD is Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I have some deafness so the sounds that annoy some of you probably won’t be heard by me. However, there are two sounds that really irritate me. The first is sniffing and the second is small children shrieking and not being corrected for it. I have often had perforated ear drums and the latter sound makes my ears ache.

Sorry yappy dogs not happy

People having a loud conversation near me wherever that is.

Happy dogs

Rap music ( how can they call it music!)

Someone parked up with their engine still running ( this annoys me on all kinds of levels)

Ice cream vans

Loud people, football commentators when something happens (doesn't take much), James Blunt and others, plinky plonky piano music accompanying images on screen, dripping taps, motor bikes and noisy cars, barking dogs etc. etc.

I loathe noise, and am lucky to have always lived in quiet places - quiet, that is, with the exception of noisy garden machinery in summer. Pop music is the worst, but fortunately I mostly manage to avoid it.

I cannot abide the sounds on computer games, any visiting grandchildren know if they haven't brought their earphones then they don't get to play. I play a couple of games, e.g scrabble on the laptop but all sounds are turned off. I really cannot stand it.

High pitched screaming
Dripping taps
Snoring, probably the worst
Over excited football commentators
Most rap music
Gum chewing
Could go on…….

My left ear has been deaf for years, but I've been coping. However social situations have been getting more difficult so I got a hearing air ten days ago. My goodness!! EVERYTHING is so loud, odd things like filling the kettle even! I am very grateful to have it now, but when it's just me at home, I'm leaving it off.

That bloke on Saturday morning kitchen. BBC.1

Leaf blowers. Strimmers. Our neighbour has them going constantly.
Use a broom and shears.

I don't usually comment, but couldn't scroll past , I do agree people coughing is annoying but not everyone with a cough has covid. I have a lung condition called Bronchiectasis and I've had a constant cough for 10 Years, so please don't judge everyone...

Oh yes, eating/swallowing noises make me quite angry and people talking loudly on phones on public transport. Louder than if they were talking to someone sitting next to them. But the eating noises are my worst problem and I wish there was something that could help with that. I can remember far back when as a child sitting at the table, my father's eating noises made me want to scream!

Buttonjugs; what does ASD stand for

Children screaming - seems to be a thing these days. Over-excited football commentators on TV who speak/shout increasingly loudly and increasingly incomprehensibly.
