Gawdawfull noises

[SeaCat]

What is the most gawdawfull noise you have had to listen to? Two Raccoons fighting ranks right up there on my listing. (Followed by a Siamese Cat in heat, a Dentists Drill, and a singing regulator at thirty feet. {You have to be a diver to understand that one.{)

I currently have a Raccoon Rumble going on outside my slider.

(Of course the cats are sitting safely inside and watching with undisguise glee.)

Dentist's drill. No contest.

 

[cantdog]

It's not the pain, it's the pressure of the drill on the exposed nerve.



Open wide..

Thank God you're here. You're needed at the Miss Literotca Pageant. You too Marine Machine. As contestants, whatever.

Before you select a new dentist, be sure to ask if he's seen "Marathon Man." If he hasn't, he lacks empathy. That's okay unless he's stingy with the nitrous oxide, and they usually are if they haven't seen "Marathon Man."

The noise of the dental drill makes me clench the armrests so hard I leave fingernail crescents in the vinyl. And that's when the noise is coming from next-door.

Edited to add: A military presence at the pageant could be important when I announce the winner. I haven't decided yet how I'll choose him or her, but there's bound to be violence.

And noises. Godawful noises. [/threadjack]

I'll second that motion. How i hate that drill

 

[SnoopDog]

Dentist drill.

Oh, and call me crazy, but a sound that I dread and that almost makes me vomit whenever I hear it is the sound of a biro scratching over paper when the cartridge is still inside.

Foxes baying, cats caterwauling, my next door neighbours fighting and throwing things around the place, my daughter going "Can I?Can I? Caaaaannnnn IIIIIIII?", anybody crunching crisps, the noise of breaking bone or click joints, hubby playing Placebo.....and the list could go on *L*

I never heard my regulator sing. Were you suffering from nitrogen narcosis?

I loved suffering from nitrogen narcosis. It was the only time I was ever glad to have the company of a group down there. I felt bulletproof, like a dangerous drunk but in a passive way. Wanted to take out the regulator and laugh.

This was on a dive at Andros Island billed as "The Narcosis Express." There wasn't much sealife at Andros, lots of blue holes and shallow caverns where on the trip back up you could watch your own bubbles beginning to emerge from the rock that was now below you. That was cool. But there was not much life and color.

So they offered this 185-foot dive for the foolish called the Narcosis Express. I was nervous about the depth until we were at about 100 feet and then someone flipped a switch and I was the happiest woman on the planet and thinking, "This is the easiest thing in the world. I was worried about this? Woo-Woo!" Then the dive master gestured to everybody to gather around a crevice in the wall, where there might be an eel or something, and when he had our attention he pulled out a rubber chicken.

Then he shook it at us.

I don't know how many drownings take place because of that chicken. They keep it hushed-up somehow. I was laughing - we all were laughing - into our regulators so hard that we sounded like tubas. Is that what you mean by "singing?"

No?

I didn't think so.

It's not easy to laugh underwater via forced exhalation through a regulator. I think some air came out of my ears.

Edited to add: I do not endorse the 185 foot dive as a way to find things funny. I had some symptoms of decompression sickness the next day including a scary few hours of blurred vision. Try the rubber chicken at a shallower depth, and if it's not funny there, take one along the next time you see your dentist and ask for nitrous oxide. Same feeling.

the noise of breaking bone or click joints

aaa- aaa- aaa- That's so horrible I can't even squeal. Hooboy.

oh yes indeed *nods*

When watching ER I am fine with the blood, guts and eventhe vomit but bones cracking or the visual of seeing a broken bone? makes me curl up in a ball and grit my teeth

For sheer volume of racket, I'll put the cute, sweet, shy little mormon girl who went to the national youth congress with my group up against a jet plane. She hooked up with a big black fellow from Florida and I'll assume from her screaming he was hung like a moo cow.

The most dreaded sound I know though is silence. Nothing is quite so chilling as taking a pull on your reg and hearing nothing and getting no air. Its doubly scary when you press the power inflate in said situation and nothing makes a sound. That happened in 10 feet of water, I can't really imagine what it feels like at depth.

irritating sounds:

rabbits mating...they scream like infants in pain, very startling.
dentist...ive a phobia, but then seems like im not alone.
the sound of my car trying to start in subzero temps...
my kids fighting

A tiny baby crying, their little tongues quivering and their lungs raqueting off their ribs as they try to catch their breath. The commercial they have up here for M.A.D.D. has a baby laying on her back and no one coming to her as she lays and cries. It makes me want to pick her up, even kids in stores, if the mom cant get them to stop I almost want to go and say , "Do you mind if I give it a try?"

Cat fights outside my bedroom window all summer long annoy me too.

A flock of Kookaburras at 3am. Road drills are quieter.

Aircraft leaving an aircraft carrier.

And of course - the death rattle.

Someone throwing up - just the sound of it makes me want to throw up too

 

[TheEarl]

Someone I love crying about something I can do nothing about. That one kills me, especially when it's over the phone and I can't even give hugs.

The absolute worst though is expanded polystyrene. I literally can't stand that noise it makes when it even brushes against anything else. It makes my teeth itch and my skin crawl and every muscle in my body cramp up. Horrible stuff.

Below 100 ft, and with the right entertainment, it would feel fine.

The schoolroom classic: fingernails-on-a-blackboard.

When boys find out they can make girls shriek by scratching the blackboard, that's pretty much all that happens for weeks afterward.

 

[woodnymph_O]

corderoy (spelling)? pants

the sound of the swish makes me flash back to child hood. I was forced to wear them and being a nervous child I used to think someone was following me in the dark.

Oh, those fucking "competitive banter" sports talk shows! Where's my sledge hammer?

How could I forget those? I totally agree. I hate getting anything encased in that horrible polystyrene stuff....*shudders*

John Maddon's voice on football - at any time!!

The sound that my gray cat made when he saw my parent's cat for the first time. I've never heard anything so unholy . . .
