Misophonia - What sounds can you simply not stand?

Sgt Hartman

I read up recently on misophonia, which is a condition where people simply cannot stand certain sounds. Examples include loud or sloppy eating, sneezing, drumming of fingers etc. For me it's loud and messy eaters, the sound of someone sloshing food around their mouths or smacking/sucking their lips is enough to make me want to shake with rage.

What sounds drive you utterly crazy??

Sharing your outrage. SO sorry about the moves. Until now I have always succeeded in stemming the noise with a promise of court action. A formal letter... and absolutely not the dog's fault.

Started again early today. And yes; and this is the apology for a human being who starved his cat almost to death; cat is now well fed and devoted here with me. It was skeletal

Trouble is this is a small community and storms in teacups abound and this is the man who delivers my fortnightly groceries! Due tomorrow so after that!

He will get a note; told him 2 years ago about this and it has been quiet since until this week... then will report him. It is a collie and they have a terrible alarm voice.

I've had to move twice now because of dogs. The rage that builds inside me is at the shltty owners rather than the dogs themselves. And the last place had a rooster, too. In the middle of a city. Dogs and roosters everywhere.

At least it gave me opportunity to practice my more colorful Vietnamese.

The voice of peppa pig.
Cuts through me like a hot knife through butter.

Whistling. I. Just. Cant......!

The way lots of american girls end their sentence with an upper inflection, it angers me so much, more than it should to be honest. My girlfriend watches lots of american youtubers and pretty much all of the ones she watches do this upper inflection thing.

I agree with whistling too, its so inane, how is that enjoyable for the person doing it, what are they getting out of it?

People that are speaking like they're whispering but are really talking at a normal level. ASMR sh*te hawks on YouTube spring to mind.

People filing their nails. That scraping sound makes me shudder.

So this evening while we were having dinner I I turned on Netflix. I chose a show to watch and as it was loading I could hear my partner's chewing noises. The noises drove me so crazy that I shouted "LOAD FOR F**K SAKE!!" at the TV while the show was loading. My partner looked at me and thought I was going off my head.

I apologised afterwards and felt like a moron

It's just those chewing noises were doing my nut in.

Chewing noises and people sucking their fingers after eating crisps etc. Yuck. I don't mind the sound of them slurping tea though!!

People chewing sets me off on a rage

I've nearly choked myself trying to eat as silently as i could beside someone who i knew hated the sound of people chewing. I was in a rage because of how they were putting me in that position and making me worry about the noise i was making.

Regarding sounds, i hate the sound of Styrofoam against Styrofoam.

The sound of dry hands rubbing together. The sound of dry hands rubbing on a paper towel.

The sounds whiteboard markers make when you write with them. When knives scrape off a plate. When someone doesn’t blow their nose & keeps snorting their own snot down their throat.

I could go on. I’m a bit sensitive :pac:

Can't stand noisy eating in people, love the exact same noises when a dog makes them, gives me ASMR. Go figure.

Sneezing, coughing, whistling, creaking, steel been banged, people talking loud

I'm hoping to get diagnosed

My mate moaned at me once when I was hungrily eating a sandwich, he said I was too loud so I said Fcuk you and ran upstairs to finish my sandwich in my room.

The sound of people eating. Im not a violent or aggressive person but it makes me want to punch the person eating in the face.

Truth is you should have told your friend to f*ck off upstairs to give you peace to eat your sandwich without him glaring at you as you ate.

Children. I dislike the sound, especially babies. How people think that baby sounds are cute is beyond me. If it's not a high pitched squeal of "joy", it's that gibberish spit causing bubbling running of the sounds... I genuinely want to throw the baby as far away as possible. And I haven't even got to the 'negative' noises yet, like crying and moaning. Makes me so angry. Unfortunately, the little bastards are everywhere so I can't avoid it. Shopping is a nightmare, which is why I loved that period of time where I lived near a 24 hour Tesco, 3am shopping is blissful!

there are noises, sounds etc that irritate me, from opera, children screaming for no reason, people who laugh at their own jokes .
That scraping of cuttlery on a plate does not bother me in the slighest, not the squeaking of a hinge, nor screech of a chair leg etc.

but the only one that has an effect on me is the one when we were kids and we would rub aeroboard on a wall to make that snow effect.....the sound it made, would make me feel like my teeth were itchy and I would want to stick my fingers in my ears like there was some silent vibration frequency I was picking up

Crunching snow gives me the shivery creepies, even if I imagine the sound. I am not sure if that is Misophonia though.

I have that too, depending on the type of snow, which sucks cuz youre already cold then you shiver more.

For me, the sound of an angle grinder, or any power tools really but especially the grinder. And there is some pr*ick in my estate who used one outside all the time. And another who spends all day trimming his 4 by 4 ft garden when it's warm out.

Those creepy laughs of loud men make my hair stand on end.

People smacking their lips before they start a sentence. Drives my bloody wild.

On a slightly different note, that fuckers voice on Come Dine with Me. Absolutely rage inducing.

boardlady

All those eating noises and nails-on-a-blackboard type of sounds are irritating but are they misophonia? Is this not a true phobia for the sound rather than an irritation or anger inducement?

My misophonia is any video/song/dialogue being played on a mobile phone. It's the tinny sound it makes - like the treble is up way too loud and the bass is completely off. I become immediately anxious and fretful and need the noise to be gone.
