Sounds that we don't like to hear....  

I think noises that repeat is what irks me the most. All of the above that you mentioned are on my list as well. But they are doubled when they are repeated (pardon the pun). I can't stand to hear something doing the same noises for long periods of time. For example, Chinese Water Torture. The toilet that never stops flushing, you hear it over, and over again, as it flushes and water drains. Then it fills up, and repeats. Another example, a ticking clock that's close to my ear. If it's on the wall and I faintly hear it then I don't mind. But if it's close to my hear, it seems like the ticking is amplified the more I get annoyed.

Hi there White Heron!

I also don't like the sound of fingers on chalk board. And ever since I became a mom, I started having problems with the sound of someone crying. It's like I can't think straight and all that I will think about is how to make it stop that's why I'm always being accused of spoiling my son and my nephew.

I hate to hear someone nag. I can't live with a nagger. My ears explode when they talk and ruins my mood. They just make noise and don't discuss things like civilized people.

I hate listen to the shriek. It often make my heart feel bad and faint.

the one thing I hate to hear is a knock in my car engine no tell what it is and how much it will cost to get fixed but that is one sound you cant ignore!

The sounds that I do definitely not want to hear at all are cat sounds; meow, dog barking, footsteps, loud music and wildness, pounding/banging, or anything like that at all. Especially when the walls and ceilings are not soundproof at all. They are all annoying constantly. Couple times already, I was trying to sleep when there was a loud group band playing couple buildings down. So I had to call the police to get that situation taken care that way I can sleep better. Right? What do you think?
