    The glug glug sound of water being poured out of a bottle. Don't know why but it annoys the feck out of me.

    People on radio bring interviewed and you can clearly hear the saliva in their mouth. It's this awful clicky sound that they make with every word. I can't stand it!

    The slamming together of grocery carts at stores.

    Sounds like a world war!

    Boy racer car exhausts.

    Scanger Dublin accents... the more nasal and whiney ones are the worst.

    The loud bass blasting from the car next to you, as you stop in traffic.

    Kids these days!

    The squeak of a glass across a glass shelf.
    The swoosh sound of other cars passing you when you are driving with your windows down.
    The sound of windscreen wipers when they judder across the windscreen.
    My neighbours dogs snarling and barking early in the morning and her stupid laugh.

    A stiff-bristled brush sweeping a dry concrete floor.
    *shudder*

    my neighbor directly across from me sweeps their cement front patio with one almost every morning. it's awful

    and since the good weather there has been every morning without fail someone nearby using a lawnmower, weed trimmer, or the absolute worst - angle grinder.

    i hate the sound of all power tool noises, plus: babies crying, drunk red faced bros singing football chants walking down the footpath, when you're on a buseirann bus and the radio signal is going in an out all fuzzy and crackly but the driver won't turn it off, someone talking on the phone in the seat behind me on the bus especially if it's not in English, scraping burnt part off of a slice of toast, really powdery snow under my feet, women's high heels on the footpath late at night outside when it's otherwise quiet, the sound of my laptop fan inside when it's otherwise quiet, glass bottles from pubs being thrown into bins,

    Same here, also chalk on blackboard and young people dropping the letter t at the end of words ca, ha, tha gets on my wick.

    I can tolerate most sounds but I think the worst thing is when you fall asleep on the sofa and the ads on the tv come on and
    they're really loud and you're awoken to that!


  • Registered Users Posts: 108 ✭✭Arytonblue


    Somewhat specific, but when you're talking with someone who clearly has a cough, chest infection or just has something caught in the back of their throat. Instead of doing the inanely obvious thing by coughing or clearing the chest, they just keep talking with this infuriatingly wheezy, strained and jumbled tone, acting like it's entirely normal to talk like that. WHHYYYYYYYY?

    SKRRK! SKRRK SKRRK!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,724 ✭✭✭pappyodaniel


    Snoring.

    Not the actual snoring sound, but the gaps between the snores where you're anticipating the next one. I've been close to murder on some occasions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,252 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Cacklers. Y’know that laugh some unfortunate women have? Goes through my skull.

    That.
    Bloody.
    Noise.

    I’ve left various licensed premises when the cackler arrived. Even really frickin’ loud licensed premises. With bands playing loud music loudly. Because the frequency of the cackle cuts through.

    People banging metal cutlery off their teeth when eating!

    My wife's sneeze, something about the tone of it that really gets to me

    Shrill voiced or whinging kids.

    Loud Eastern European women. (Nothing against them, but loathe the pitch and accent).

    Cotton wool.

    Loose fan belts on cars.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    The wan beside me on the bus going 'wha' into her phone every 20 seconds.

    Also clicky pens.

    My washing machine has a loud buzzer for when it's finished.

    It will repeat about six times. Beep beep beep. Beep beep beep.

    Not ideal at 2am. Goading me to turn it off.

    The sound of a burglar alarm ringing all Bank Holiday weekend.

    People who blare their horn to announce they've arrived to collect you.



    Jim bob if you’re washing machine is a Siemens brand the good news is you can turn off that buzzer noise.put Siemens washing machine alarm into YouTube and the video will show you how to switch it off.our one is forever silent since I figured it out.had me vexed.
