Sounds That Enrage

[bg23]

- Hold Music

- Even more so, the pause every 15 seconds and then a recording of a human informing me I'll be assisted as soon as possible.

- Lawn mowers. I don't know why, I hate the sound they make. This is possibly due to the fact that for some reason my neighbours love to mow their lawns at 6 in the morning.

Murlocs.

Murlocs.

*gasp* Murglegurgle is the bomb

 

[warrior queen]

Hearing a squeak coming from the suspension when you drive away from the place you took your car to, and spent nearly $1500 at, to FIX the fucking squeaky suspension in the first place!

 

[pointless]

people talking on their cell phones in public about personal shit that magically expect you to not hear.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Guy down the block pulling up on his Harley after lights out on a work night, sounding like a crippled F-18 coming in on one engine.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Car alarms that go off at the slightest provocation all night long.

 

[firenzi]

The deafening high pitched SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK the wheels of the subway makes while breaking, because they don't maintain the old trains properly.

The subway announcements that are all static.

Music that's on really, really low, so you can hear the noise but not make the music itself. Like when people have their ipods turned up loud on the subway.

The sound of someone clipping their fingernails. Especially when they do it on the subway.

 

[Boobyprize]

'Not tonight darling, I've got a headache...'

 

[Nerdy_Harold]

Farting during a meal

 

[quimsical]

Annoying "reversing car" sounds at 5.25a.m. These are the sounds of a bad driver trying to parallel park. And failing.

 

[GracefullyYours]

Microphone "mouth noise" on NPR

 

[rbijon]

The word "No."

 

[quimsical]

Microphone "mouth noise" on NPR

Oh yes -- horribly annoying. And: dry mouth "clicking" noises when consonants are uttered over a microphone on radio, signifying a higher latte to water ratio on early morning broadcasts.

 

[rosco rathbone]

I don't know who invented that back-up alarm thing on some vehicles which causes a recorded voice to say "this vehicle is backing up....this vehicle is backing up", but if I ever catch them I'm going to pistol whip them with a tazer.

 

[BiTodd]

Telephone or doorbell during sex

 

[bg23]

people talking on their cell phones in public about personal shit that magically expect you to not hear.

But how else are they supposed to impress everyone on the subway about what they did last night?

Car alarms that go off at the slightest provocation all night long.

Ooooh I hate that one. It makes me want to take a baseball bat to the car. And then the car's owner.

The deafening high pitched SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK the wheels of the subway makes while breaking, because they don't maintain the old trains properly.

The sound of someone clipping their fingernails. Especially when they do it on the subway.

Haha, you use public transport a lot eh? I agree about all of those, but especially the music one. I take solace in the fact that those people will probably suffer hearing damage.

'Not tonight darling, I've got a headache...'

Reprehensible.

Farting during a meal

Gross. I had a bf who'd fart in bed, audibly, and then deny he did it.

 

[bg23]

Annoying "reversing car" sounds at 5.25a.m. These are the sounds of a bad driver trying to parallel park. And failing.

Hahaha, I'm a terrible driver, so I'm probably guilty of failing at parking a lot. But not at 5 am!

I hate the hoon drivers who blow past my house in the middle of the night, wheels screeching.

Microphone "mouth noise" on NPR

Hate that one. And people who breathe into their mics so it's like a fucking wind tunnel.

The word "No."

You are not 3!

I don't know who invented that back-up alarm thing on some vehicles which causes a recorded voice to say "this vehicle is backing up....this vehicle is backing up", but if I ever catch them I'm going to pistol whip them with a tazer.

I just hate voice recordings in general, I find them insulting. It's like they thought hey, if we record a real person talking we can trick them into thinking they're getting human service despite the fact that it's a machine, cos they're that stupid. But yeah, the beep beep of the backing up is preferable to that shit.

Telephone or doorbell during sex

Lol. Has anyone ever stopped you to answer the telephone or doorbell?

You think thats annoying? Try listening to it in Chinese.. for hours at a stretch. Guaranteed to drive you batshit crazy..

 

[Nerdy_Harold]

Scraping teeth on a fork while eating

The sound of chewing food

 

[islandman]

Alarm clock.

I shouldn't laugh at your pain but that made me giggle imagining it.

Alarm clock.

Holy shit I have a really bad problem with waking-up-related-rage. Like anything that wakes me up suddenly, unpleasantly, or unwanted-ly? (the fuck is the comparative form of that adverb? in an unwanted manner i guess) - will make me murderous. Like straight up punch a wall furious.

A bf woke me up once by kissing my ear, however, he did it like right on the centre of my ear such that the noise was like...amplified. It startled and enraged me at the same time, I jerked, smacked him right in the balls, and did not even feel guilty afterwards.

 

[GracefullyYours]

Alarm clock.

You need a better-sounding alarm....

 

[Shagly]

Meowwwwwwwwwwww

 

[Sonny Limatina]

Ambient crud: a ground loop in a sound system, the constant 60-Hertz hum of US appliance motors, someone clicking and unclicking a ball point pen absent-mindedly without end.

I'm a terrible filter. I find it hard to unhear that stuff in favor of whatever is supposed to be foregrounded.
