    Car and house alarms going off repeatedly day and night (- and the owners seem not to be fixing them).

    Knives being sharpened....makes my teeth itch and my balls tighten!

    What's the reason for being reasonable?

    Is that an unreasonable question?

    The sound of people giving out sh*te about nonsense phobias about different sounds and other intolerances.
    Shuttup already.
    Waaaay to many intolerances and phobias over the past 20 years or so.
    WTF did we do before them all??

    Yes, babies crying.

    Also traffic.
    Especially in rain.
    Can cause me to have a panic attack.

    That noise that electrical things make, like the fridge and tv.

    Coughing drives me nuts.

    Actually, I hate most noises, especially ones that come without warning.

    Oh the gutteral gluggy sound people make when they are too lazy to blow their noses and wet sniffles.
    Oh I'm getting mad now :)

    I really hate the sound of a dog licking itself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭wild_cat


    That rubbing noise people make on the pages of a news paper and on tissue sometimes.


    Just thinking about it gives me the shivers.

    When I accidentally do it myself I feel like punching stuff. Ughh I hate it.

    Jesus that woman in the link bus have a really bad time when she takes public transport.

    I'd also like to add Lady Gaga. Up. The. F*ckin'. Walls.

    Apparently this is a condition. For me, its click of lips when people talk, slurping tea, clicking finger nails, whistling. Drives me NUTS.

    Anyone else suffer?

    Just saw your link.

    Never heard of the conditions they mention.

    I have sensory processing disorder though.
    That's much more commonly known - are they the same thing?

    I'm not sure if they are. I just saw it and thought I'm not alone.
    Sorry to hear about your disorder though.

    hearing people writing or colouring with a marker, people cracking knuckles


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭Pherekydes


    The screech of the auxiliary drive belts. The screech of the wife's voice. The screech of nails on a blackboard. The screech of a baby.

    Many of today's so-called pop singers. Off the Ball.

    Anything that screeches, basically.

    Part and parcel with my ADD.

    Just googled hyperacusis and misophonia there, and from what I can gather, they are both types of sensory processing disorder, which affect auditory processing.

    Edit: I don't think that made sense!
    I mean that I think they are both types of auditory processing deficits, and auditory processing falls under sensory processing.
    Still feel like I'm not making sense!
    Ah well!

    The sound of something e.g a piece of furniture being dragged across a carpet.The sound of water dripping. Also folk slurping their tea/drinks, the Glasgow accent.
