Annoying noises

●Dripping taps.
●House or car alarms that keep going off - I already have tinnitus and some alarms may have stopped but not in my ears, and that is very annoying!
●Ticking clocks in or near my bedroom.
●Random little noises that seem to appear out of nowhere, or if I've moved/visited a new place and hear them, they have to be found. Once identified, I'm usually ok with them, as long as they're not drips or clocks!!
●Screaming - anyone - just for the hell of it!
●Definitely yapping or barking dogs that go on and on. Theexwife I'd have reported the barking dog to the noise abatement team at my local council or/& the RSPCA!
●Loud talkers - unfortunately, I love with one but he's learning to quieten down when I glare at him or tell him the volume is too high!
●Noisy, slurpy eaters - babies are excused, they don't know any better, but adults are not!
●The sudden start up and revving of loud motorbikes and music blasting from cars. The music blasting is supposed to be illegal nowadays. Supposed to be!!
●Loud music, sudden loud noises, loud fireworks going off all year round.
●Loud crowds, crowds in general as I panic!

I dislike the sound of... well... I think many people can relate. The other day I was walking to the bus stop to head to my daughters house, when at the stop there were two young kids going at it. I almost didn't get on the bus. Even whilst on the bus the pair didn't stop. I think the young generation need to show more respect. Am I still allowed to hit them with my bag? Besides the young boy tried swinging at me for trying to help the poor young girl. No respect for old people anymore, its not very fair.

Almost all of the sounds mentioned so far annoy me. A local one drives me nuts though - our caretaker loves his petrol driven leaf blower and seems to use it all the time instead of a brush. I can see him chasing round with it after a single leaf or crisp packet!! Drives us all nuts.

Things annoy me rather than people.
Microwave pings or beeps. Wonder if they can be muted 🔇

Loud voiceovers announcing the next programme on TV whilst I am still “digesting” the current one and whilst the credits are still running. (Especially if it’s something infuriating such as Eastenders or Mrs Browns Boys 👹)

Ticking clocks in the bedroom

It's called misophonia.

Curling

People who scuff their shoes along the floor without picking their feet up.

Yes, it's coming to Ugg boot season 😟

I'm autistic, so certain noises really get to me on a visceral level, far too many to list here, though! I also can't cope with competing noises such as someone trying to talk to me whilst the TV is on in the background, or indeed, trying to watch TV whilst someone else has a conversation in the same room (no matter how quietly they talk). I can hear both but can decipher neither. My partner has ADHD and has a similar problem, it seems to be fairly common in the neurodiverse. There are other noises that just simply annoy me; children shouting and screaming in restaurants, anyone talking loudly on a mobile whilst on public transport, dogs that are allowed to bark non-stop, loud music in neighbour's gardens in the summer..... maybe I'm just a female Victor Meldrew When I was married my then-h snored. It was a nice, fairly quiet, rhythmic snore and I didn't mind it at all. Then he developed sleep apnea and I couldn't cope with the erratic and loud snores that he then produced. He had a CPAP machine but didn't like wearing the mask so he often didn't. A new bedroom called for me! Lol!

Kalu

Motorbikes and mopeds. The horrendous noise they emit unsettles me to the point of fear and anxiety whenever I hear them approach.

I'll try to remember never to ride near you then! My 1100cc Custom makes a bit of a noise (though not as much a (Harley!)

Quichette 😂😂😂.Good one !

I remember when I accompanied my dear husband to the sleep clinic to see about his loud snoring. The Doctor turned to me and asked if I had noticed him stop breathing whilst he was snoring. I replied that he only did that when I pressed my pillow over his face for too long.

People who scuff their shoes along the floor without picking their feet up.

People talking loudly on their mobile on transport, in the street, in fact, anywhere.
Children yelling at one another when they can walk a couple of steps and just talk.
The mindess activity of just hitting a football back and forth or banging on a fence or wall.
Dogs left inside or out to bark for hours
Noisy oversized exhausts on cars; when are they going to be banned.
The drip from a bit of the guttering on my conservatory.

Whistling and sniffing have my ears up round my shoulders. The third is an odd one, anyone jingling change in their pockets, Happens less now more folk use a card to pay for everything.

Radio 4 on all the time at high volume. DH turns the radio on as soon as he walks into a room - we have several in the house. He has to have them on at maximum volume because he is rather deaf. Then he leaves them on although obviously not listening. However, doesn't particularly like listening to music. (I do like Radio 4 but would prefer to be selective.) Another big annoyance when in the garden is the sound of vehicles moving around on a nearby building site - continuous beeping for hours on end. Luckily we are not right next to it but I can't imagine how residents who are close can possibly cope. It's been going on for months.

Chewing, eating, gum chewing, loud burping are repulsive to me.

Worse though, is whispering. Some adverts like Secret Escapes use whispering, which I have to mute.

Someone drumming their fingers is intolerable too.

Arghhhh!

Pressure washers, rattly busses when I'm on board , fans

Doodledog, you made me giggle!

My DH watches a lot of sports, or rather, keeps the TV on the sports channel while he does other things. There is one baseball announcer that has a very nasally voice; he drives me mad.

Also women's curling. Oh Lordy, don't get me started!

My DH eating! It's not actually the sound of him eating per se, it's the fact that he bangs and scrapes his cutlery on the plate/bowl very loudly and as he eats so quickly it's a constant cacophany and drives me mad!! I can feel myself tensing up and have to leave the room. Luckily, apart from dinner in the evening we don't tend to eat at the same time...

A dripping tap drives me up the wall.
Otherwise I'm pretty tolerant of unavoidable noises but really have to work hard to tolerate over-loud talking on the train.

OH has a habit of jollying himself along with train noises - chuff, chuff going from one for to another and jiggly-puff, jiggly puff going up the stairs. Mostly I can block it out but just sometimes......!!

My annoying noises are people related rather than dogs and machines . Top of the list is noisy eaters , both my df and fil were noisy eaters and drove me nuts.
Noisy slurpers, I couldn’t be in the same room as an old boss when he was drinking his tea 😬.
Perpetual snifflers , just get a hanky,
Exaggerated noisy drawn out yawns, my dh does this and I want to stab him
People clicking their knuckles.
Slamming doors in hotels and scraping furniture on a tiled floor . That’s why I always request a top floor room or apartment.
My only annoying machine noise is the reverse sensors on my neighbours car. He’s a rubbish driver and takes numerous attempts to reverse into his drive.

Having just moved out of a flat with a neighbor from hell I’d have to say rap music slamming doors 24/7 and loud sex with whoever he picked up, try watching corrie 😂 I now live in a bungalow with none of the above lol but screaming excited kids as started to bother me didn’t used to I blame lockdown

... I don't notice it unless I'm at home alone or we are both home but busy reading or other quiet activity.

I live about a mile from a busy road.
I find it distracting if I'm up late or awake at night.

I also sometimes find the ticking of my gas meter (outside) rather irritating. I don't notice
