There are many sounds that pisses me off, sharp sounds that come when I want stay calm, want sleet, when just want to hear my thoughts, sounds who make me feels like pierce my brain but first among sounds annoying ... and the flop is when someone eats, suck, bang, burping , when all the neighbors know that person is on the table, and eat? It's your turn, what sounds make you angry when you hear, and get you out of your mind?

I personally find repetitive sounds annoying, regardless of what is causing the noise. For example, I live in a suburban area, and every day it seems like there is gardening equipment being used; weed-eaters, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, wood-chippers, and chainsaws. Another annoying sound is when dogs will not quit barking. It is just one of those sounds that pisses me off too. And another sound that bothers me is what you said in your discussion, which is when some person is making annoying sounds, it just gets on my nerves and seems really obnoxious.

Because I live in an area where many dogs and I realize how much their night barking annoys me ... but at least they are dogs and they do not know, but there are a lot of people making terrible noises....

Hey icesmile! I have two sounds that my boyfriend makes that drives me to want to kill him!lol When he drinks something he makes this noise after he takes a sip! I can't describe it, but it is really annoying and he does it everytime! And then he sucks his teeth after he eats and will keep doing it for hours after! I have to keep telling him to stop and I'm not even sure if he is aware of it! I'm sure he does it when he is eating with other people and wonder what they think of his obnoxious eating habits! I doubt he just does it with me because it seems like too much of a reflex action!

There are a few type of sound that really makes me go crazy, as in angry, pain and fear. One is the drilling sound. Don't you agree that it sounds like your dentist drilling your decay teeth and the painful moments will just pop into your mind. The next is the screeching sound which you could by scratching the blackboard with your finger nails. I don't know why but the sound of it really gives me goosebumps and I will kinda freak out. The last one is the sound of consistent knocking or banging. Imagine when you want peaceful moments, a consistent sound such as knocking the wall or banging the table is present, it will makes me very uncomfortable and sometimes, I might have the feeling of vomiting because of it.

I hate the sound of the alarm clock in the morning. I started hating it when I was in college because when it sounds, it means that the best part of the day is over. [

Most annoying sound for me that I cannot bear is a fork pushed against a plate, eeiiikie sound. I also don't like the sound of rubber shoes in a floor that makes its squeeky or the person that walks makes it sound of squeeky. My ear drums would also bleed to my neighbors who keeps on singing wrong tunes, high notes that flops out flat line even if it is really annoying, she still sings it out loud that reaches a hundred miles . I also don't like heavy footsteps specially at night time. Since our house is near a street, people would scratch their flipflops out loud early morning, it really destructs my sleep.

There are too may in my list..But most of the time I really,really hate when people shouting/screaming in anger, car's horn, and a sound like a chalk being scrathed in on the blackboard. And many too come...Good thing I still have my patience.

if you use a coin to scratch a metal rod it will make an extremely high-frequency sound. i just can't stand this because it hurts my eardrums. sometimes when you hear it in your mind long after the real sound has ended, it hurts more.

As aggiefreak said before, the most annoying sound is the one that is repetitive: water dripping, clock ticking and so on. One might say that one is crazy for paying attention to these sounds and for considering them disturbing. But for the fact that you hear them, it means that a small percent of your brain is processing it, thus not the whole capacity is used for the thing that you are consciously doing at that time. So it's fair to say that it makes you lose focus, involuntarily... All the things that we perceive take a small amount of thinking... And of course, there are sounds that we just can't stand like the piece of chalk on a blackboard that gives you shivers on the spine... probably something happens in our mind that makes this sound feel threatening, because the reaction is similar to the one when you feel fear... who knows why ... ?

Hi, there are many noises which I don t like, you're right, one is that of an uneducated man who eats, but also pisses me off, tone, intonation of voice of a man who wants to be sarcastic, ironic, I was annoyed not to say , malicious voice noise annoys me, you ever heard voices intonations of a bad person? That pisses me off I think the coolest.

Fingernails scraping on glass. Chalk squealing on a blackboard. Feedback squeal from an amplifier.
