As I mentioned on another discussion I hate the sound of silverware scraping on a plate..or silverware scraping against each other. They both make me want to scream. I know alot of people have mentioned fingernails on a chalkboard..but that sound never bothered me as much as the silverware noises. Most sounds I can tolerate..but when I was little I hated loud noises like cap guns or fireworks. What kinds of sounds get on your nerves?

I don't think I have that mesophonia or whatever it is that makes people almost allergic to certain noises. I don't have to leave the room or whatever, but the sound really grates on my nerves..so much I have to protest or cover my ears. Fortunately, I haven't heard it for quite some time.

@snowy22315 Same with me. Like the hum of an air conditioner helps me sleep, like a TV on a low volume.

I don't like hearing noise in general when I am trying to sleep..even if it is just low or off in the distance. I like quiet. The exception would be a TV on low..that can actually lull me to sleep.

I hate the thump thumping of loud bass systems in cars and next door. Drives me crazy. Plus barking dogs.

That one can be annoying, I just try not to focus on it though.
