    That obnoxious, shrill whistle made with both baby fingers in the mouth.
    Sounds like a drunken ambulance siren.

    Other people eating
    The sound of spectators clapping at golf on tv
    Teeth grinding
    Our neighbours dogs barking
    Cutlery scraping a plate when cutting food

    That loud obnoxious laugh certain women do on a night out, you know the one sounds like a bunch of dogs been skinned alive.

    A knife or fork being scraped along a plate. Even the thought of it makes me shudder.

    The noise of a motorbike engine as it seems to get louder as it drives away (the doppler effect) and takes an eternity for the noise to become inaudible.

    The accent in this video. I believe it's called 'vocal fry'.



    And this is going to be politically incorrect, but the voices of overly camp gays. Mainly American ones but British ones can be annoying too, for instance Louis Spence.

    Jaysus I must be doing alright, I'm fifty and can hear all of them. Granted each tone is quieter than the last and the final one I have to listen for, but still...

    So I'm under 24? Me. Earlier.

    :D

    For me? Snoring. Can't stick it for long at all.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I'd say "people talking on phones in public places", but that's probably not a single sound per se :D

    Most of my list is however people related:

    - Sniffling (get a feckin' kleenex)
    - Wheezing
    - Dragging of flip-flops (even worse, the wooden ones!)
    - Whispering (yeah, I can still hear you)

    Adults who must make their presence known, by roaring constantly... in every situation.

    Why must they always be so loud?

    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.

    Any kind of eating/chewing noise with mouth open. Some people are actual savages. Chewing gum with mouth open is brutal as well. Bonus points if you do it in a confined area such as public transport and lick your fingers loudly too. Don't bring your vile home habits around other people! Sometimes for particularly bad cases on the bus I try imagine they're a baby or a wild animal in order not to snap.

    Noise the comes from sky box even on standby.
    A drip sort of a sound.
    I even changed the ballcock on the tank in the attic as I first thought it was coming from that.

    I live just outside an apartment elevator. The ding drives me bonkers!

    Why do people need a bell to know to get off on their floor? Door opens, get off!
