What sound or noise do you hate?

scratching on the chalkboard

The noisemakers that people spin!

The sound of people arguing.

sounds of war

The sound of a hunter's shotgun blasts in the forest behind my home. The sound of yelping hunting dogs that have found something. They sound like they are being tortured.. even though the torture only happens when they are locked in their cages at home or when they are forgotten and left in the wild to fend for themselves. I hate living in these woods.

Domestic disputes. I think I can sleep through just about anything else.

A crying baby on a plane

I hate laugh tracks on sit-coms.

I'm curious. Is it loud arguments that bother you, or just any ol' argument, even if it's kept at a reasonable noise level?

crying babies

Crying babies.

people nagging

the sound of babies crying while their parents ignore them

the sound of an animal in pain

which is pretty much baby-crying

The sound of people chewing. Nails on a blackboard. The sound of something expensive going wrong with needed machinery (cars, dishwashers, and the like).

Nails scratching on a chalkboard *cringes*, the english student teacher speaking, and when I have a headache, everything, and anything in pain or sad.

Whining

Fingernails on a chalkboard.
And bass booming away next door when I'm trying to sleep.

The screeching of abused bearings (typically forewarning the failure of something expensive) is pretty hateful.
The sound of oilcanning wings still squicks me a bit.

I thought all auguments where loud!

I thought any disagreement could be considered an argument. Have you ever seen two people in a verbal exchange where you could tell they are mad or annoyed at each other, but they are keeping it pretty quiet? Those are arguments too, aren't they?

Street musicians, the bells that street-corner Santas and Salvation Army guys ring, Christmas carols playing over loudspeakers.

How can you be mad & quiet @ the same time?

Very easily. I'm very passive. You do it by keeping it locked up insdie and not yelling, sometimes just talking or sometimes not talking to the person you are mad at.

OIC!

many shopping carts being pushed thru the mall..it drives me nuts

It's possible. Haven't you ever fumed in silence? I've been in disagreements with others, where we had to keep quiet, but we still exchanged harsh words, or used a rude tone of voice. Those kinds of arguments aren't annoying to overhear, because they aren't loud.

I'd have to say the sound of racoons mating at three o clock in the morning in the middle of winter. I swaer I never heard such an awful sound that scared the crap outta me before that. I thought someone was trying to murder an old lady!

The buzzing of an alarm clock.

Ralphing noises & Rap Music
Cell phones &/or babies crying @ the Movies or in a restaurant.

I see your point.

eeeeewwwwwweeeee
I don't like the sound of any crumpling bags, when some people do it it is worse.
I hate the sound of smacking, clapping, chewing, licking, sniffing, phones, when people don't know how to pronounce the "S" sound correctly...especially fake women, wind, babies screaming, that zoom zoom commercial, t.v.'s high pitched sound, that one kind of horn that is always played in movies where the scene is of the city at night...........
and the list goes on

Someone brushing their teeth.....

Mary, I know what you mean about the fake women with the 's' sound! They almost whistle it, so it comes out a cross between an 's' and a 'z.' If you aren't close enough to hear what they are saying, all you can hear from across the room is sz.......szz...............szzz...sz......szzz..............sz.....sz

What passes as Rock Music now.
Followed closely by Techno punk rave crap.

Someone puking, screams from either pain or wailing when someone dies. Coyotes howling at the moon, and bagpipes.

I hate the sound of people fighting.

Yup, you know what I mean!

Crying babies. Dogs barking. The four fans inside my computer that make it sound like a vacuum cleaner.

Smacking, crunching, and old tired people who "uhh and ugg" all the way across a room.

a cat in heat and a dog's bark really irritate me

A distortion or corruption of God's Word or God's name in vain. A child crying in pain, a siren, hard rock or rap music, people arguing. Screeching car brakes. An untruth. A person in pain.

I cannot hear.. i am deaf.. so i not know waht noise i do hate :)

Boss: Hey I got a special project you'll just love to do. (Yeah. Right.)

Farting and belching...glass shattering...someone vomiting...sirens...cars wrecking...my sister doging at me...my aunt talking with her mouth full

I agree on both counts

I have never been to a mall where you could walk around with shopping carts

a woman whining

An orgy at a nursing home? I don't know, the usual suspects I guess

The sound of me trying to talk....ugh. If I wasn't such a damn talkative person, I'd just stop.

Most of my life, the sound of a whisper has hurt my ears. I could never stand anyone to whisper in my ear.

The classic: fingernails down a blackboard. *shivers*

This is going to sound bizarre I'm sure. Bare feet on carpet. Specially dry feet. It's like finger nails on a blackboard to me.

a baby crying

People argueing

Someone snapping their gum-makes me want to strangle them! Hearing someone brush their teeth-even on t.v. gives me goosebumps.

The sound of people fighting.

Distant drum beats.

Any noise my upstairs neighbors makes irks the crap out of me.

car alarms

children screaming
Even though they are usually screaming in fun, it disturbs me, and I wish they would learn not to scream unless there is an emergency. I think I read "the boy who cried wolf" too much as a child.

Yep I know that one all too well.I too hate car alarms they are the most annoying things ever made.

Loud t.v. like the person or persons are going deaf & taking you there with them.A dog barking,setting off a chain reaction of the other dogs barking in the neighborhood.Cat in heat.Babies crying.Loud bass on car stereos,sound of metal in a car wreck,domestic disputes & someone tooting their horn at me,leaf blowers,lawn mowers,chain saws,jack hammers,gum cracking,nails on the chalk board car & clock alarms.

Babies crying, dogs barking, children screaming (not the happy kind of scream though; that's cute), popping gum, and any noise that may keep me up while I'm trying to sleep.
