Most irritating noise?

[bertha katzenengel]

Right now, for me, it's of packing tape being WRAPPED AROUND something very LARGE. I clocked the last one. It took ninety-two seconds of non-stop wrapping.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

What noise irritates you most?

[smirkymonkey]

1. The sound of W's voice

Worse than fingernails scraping against a chalkboard.

[redqueen]

28. Ugh... and that awful snickering sound when he laughs...

"eh eh eh eh eh"

:puke:

[Texasgal]

2. FARTS.

Disgusting...hate the sound AND the smell!

[LSparkle]

6. W's voice and farts = same thing to me

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Alanis Morissette.

:scared:

[LSparkle]

9. Oh yeah ... "You, You, You, YOU, YOU, YOU OUGHTA KNOW"

She's like a bleating goat on that song.

[Skittles]

10. I don't mind listening to one song by her

but the thought of listening to an entire album just boggles my mind. Hey, know who I cannot listen to even for one song? Natalie Merchant - I have actually been driven out of stores by that incessantly whiny, tinny voice. :o

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

13. GRRRRRRRRR...

Them thar's FIGHTIN' WORDS! As Zell Miller once said, "SIR...I wish I could challenge you to a DUEL!"



DON'T LISTEN, Natalie...he's KIDDING.

:evilgrin:

[redqueen]

30. Sorry, but I don't see the resemblance...

someone said I look like her... I don't see it... maybe I just don't want to?

[WhollyHeretic]

3. A fork scraping on a plate.

I shuddered just typing that.

The shrub's laugh, it just reminds me what a freakin' idiot we have for pResident.

[Skittles]

4. don't get me started, bertha

I'm really noise sensitive - off the top of my head:

Weedeaters and leaf blowers, the clicking of a woman's heels, ANY kind of whistling or tapping or drumming of fingers; Saturday morning cartoons, country music.............

[bertha katzenengel]

16. oh, man, leaf blowers -- one invention that should be banned

nationally! Good christ, people, learn to use a BROOM!!

[Skittles]

23. if you don't work nights bertha

you really don't know the half of it. :AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:

[bertha katzenengel]

47. oh, no.

:( :hug:

[barb162]

5. lawn movers, edgers, leaf blowers, cars that have the radios so loud

you can hear them through closed windows (or you can feel the vibration)

[tjwmason]

21. Lawn mowers seconded

It seems as though as soon as there's some sun (i.e., when you want to go and sit in the garden relaxing) at least one of the neighbours wants to mow his lawn.

I'm not normally a fan of G.M. crops, but if somebody wants to develop non-mow grass, I will pay for it to be placed in every garden within ear-shot of my house.

[jonnyblitz]

7. the dentist drill...

:scared:

[barb162]

8. okay, you win, absolute worst sound

[chickenscratching]

11. two pieces of Styrofoam rubbing together

:banghead:

[Shell Beau]

12. styro-foam! It gives me chills thinking about it!

[Misunderestimator]

14. Puppets at Disneyland singing "It's a Small World"

:nuke:

[jedicord]

15. Flippy Shoes

Not just flip flops, but dress shoes that are backless. The women in my office wear them all the time (I'm a woman, but hate the noise so much even I irritate myself, so I don't wear them).

Flip Flip Flip Flip (lazy woman)

flipflipflipflipflip (angry woman)

flip FLIP flip FLIP (clueless woman)


ACCCCKKKKKK!

[Misunderestimator]

19. Oh man! I hate that sound.

And it's so embarrassing when you realize your shoes are making it! Bad, bad, bad... I had a pair of shoes that started making that sound... I walked around on my tiptoes all day to avoid flopping my heal. Never to be worn again.

[sam sarrha]

17. chick upstairs butt squeeking in the bath tub...

oh well.....:blush:

[bertha katzenengel]

20. *blank stare*

:rofl:

[swag]

18. Larry Kudlow

[onager]

22. "Do you know about Jesus?"

n/t

[ghostsofgiants]

24. Fingernails on a chalkboard

My most hated of all sounds. Chalk on a chalkboard is bad enough, but fingernails...*shudders*

[deadparrot]

49. same...or W.

Either one makes my nails literally ache. :shrug:

[Parche]

25. annoying noise

Some old FART coughing up a loogy

[redqueen]

26. People eating too loudly!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

WTF is up with that?

GROSS!

[Parche]

34. eating

Redfish eating with her mouth open, while standing on one leg
and burping...now that is annoying!!!! ha

[redqueen]

39. Why do you call me redfish?

Makes me think of Dr. Seuss.

[Pithlet]

44. Even worse than that

are commercials that emphasize eating sounds. Amplified crunching and lip smacking. Disgusting! They don't realize what a huge turn off that is to many people. It certainly doesn't make me hungry for their product.

[Obamarama]

27. The sound of someone puking their guts out...

The airsick woman behind me on my flight to Australia last winter was fourteen hours of intermittent gagging and retching. I thought Linda Blair was seated behind me doing imitations of Regan. I would have changed seats, but it was a packed flight. Next time I'm NOT forgetting the ear plugs.

[marzipanni]

29. A tree falling in the forest

Or one hand clapping ;)

[bigwillq]

31. When Repukes talk

:banghead:

[Bullwinkle925]

32. That blankety-blank teeth-grinding commercial on Air America!

YIKES! HAS TO BE MUTED!!


:banghead:

[redqueen]

38. Yeah that's pretty annoying.

I like the one with the 3 year old in the dairy section, though... so it all works out. :)

[musette_sf]

33. what I call "bee buzzing"

which is when sombody has cheap headphones and their IPod or other sound device is turned up ALL THE WAY.

if you ride PT every day like I do, you will understand why this drives me out of my mind. it's worse than listening to somebody else's music. and I can hear it over my own (non-sound-leaking) headphones and music, since I don't crank up to the max.

[bif]

35. A mosquito after you turn the lights out

[Taverner]

36. The sound of a Large Samoyed, Honking

Yes, Sammies Honk...when they are impatient and want to do something you are physically able to do, but do not have the inclination for...like say giving them a chocolate cake.

[bif]

37. A Shelty barking

[tonekat]

40. Minnie Ripperton

Lovin' you, is easy cause you're beautiful,
Do do doot da doo, ahhhah, ahhhah, ahhhhhgggghhhhh! Make it stop!!!!!

[youthere]

41. Three children arguing over the last orange popsicle.

Makes me want to open a vein.

[nytemare]

42. People who have cloggy noses and still breath loudly through them

That nosy, whistley sound, makes my chest feel like it is starting to cave and I can't breath.

[lpbk2713]

43. People eating with their mouth open.

Something crunchy like potato chips.

[smirkymonkey]

46. Arghhh.... And smacking their lips and moaning while they

are eating. It drives me insane!

[XemaSab]

45. My goddamn office mate's whiny ass voice

and yes, she is named Reagan. And she turns on the lights, and the lights make an irritating noise. And the people next door run their damn AC all day and that's an irritating noise. And anyone running a leaf blower within a half mile is a pretty irritating noise. And when you're birding with someone and they have no concept of the amount of noise they are making and when you ask them to be still for a second they keep moving their feet or making some other noise and it's damn irritating. I think most people have so much hearing damage they don't even know how much the noise they are making affects other people.

Leafblowers win.

Push mower, rake, broom, loppers, and hand saw get the job done and sound nice while you're doing it.

[Darth_Kitten]

48. My neighbours.............

and their kids of course. :)

[NoSheep]

50. Power boats and jet skis at the lake.
