Noises that go right through you?

[MartinLewisHasATrophyShelf]

Neighbours have been strimming the fucking grass since 8.30am. It's now after 11.

I am going to lose the plot.

I can't start work as it is so loud. It's a petrol strimmer and for some reason they wind me up so much. Electric ones I'm ok with. It's the revving of it that drives me batty.

I thought he was finished but another neighbour shouted over to him and he has come and done his garden too.

I can't go out anywhere and it's making me want to poke knitting needles in my ears.

Anyone else have a noise that drives them mad like this?

Flies and other buzzy things
Pencil tappers
Squeaky polystyrene
And one I haven't heard for years: the noise made by an enamel basin on a Belfast sink when someone has been washing vegetables with soil on them - gritty and squeaky.

This is timely. DH is packing boxes for storage in the hallway outside the room in which I am trying to WFH. The sound of tape being pulled across boxes again and again for the last 80 minutes is raising my blood pressure so much that I have escaped upstairs rather than do something I will regret.

Whistling.

Repetitive sounds drive me insane.

Someone (dp) singing the same line of a song over and over again, or repeating the same bit of a song over and over again on the kids keyboard. Sometimes the kids think it's funny to keep repeating a funny phrase. I just cant cope with it.

I have misophonia. Lots of noises drive me insane. I cannot bear people whispering so that's probably the worst one for me.

Really bad singing by people who believe they are really good singers and won't shut the F up

That whiny voice kids do when they’re about to have a tantrum or something isn’t going their way

Redannie My poor antique clock is still on the mantelpiece, showing 9.31, having last ticked shortly after my now-husband moved in ten years ago. He couldn't bear the sound. I console myself with knowing that it's still right twice a day. One day it will tick again (when I LTB for crimes against beautiful clocks)

The particular whingey whiny naggy high pitched voice my ex used to use when he wanted his own way. And it went on and on until I gave in to his demands because I couldn't bear it any more

Crisp packet rustling .
The crackling sound of someone using one of those large supermarket bags goes right through me.
ASMR videos featuring endless rustling sounds (ie sweet packets being moved about) also the presenter whispering too quietly that you can not make the words out.

Loud chewing enrages me also nail picking or biting the clicky noise it makes ahhh!

Eating, dogs barking, tinny music from a mobile phone, motorbikes, men whistling but the one that's been getting on my nerves lately has been kids scooters on pavement - goes right through me.

I am very noise sensitive and have been since I was younger.

The sound of someone sweeping their front step gives me goosebumps and not in a good way.

Long drawn out noises such as in Line Of Duty before the interviews started. Foreign football commentators on tv who yell ”gooooooooaaaaallll” for an unnecessarily long amount of time. Alarms that don't get switched off. Someone resting a book on a computer keyboard and then not appearing to hear the warning sound.

I have misophonia, so fucking loads of things:
The dog chewing his paws
A football being kicked
Anything being dropped
My boyfriend crumpling pop bottles
Ahhhhhhhhh, making me on-edge just typing them.

Other people eating.
Screeching children.

Crunching onion in my teeth. Makes me want to 🤮. Can't eat anything with onion in it and I'm very allergic to tomato so have a very limited diet!

Incessant dogs barking.
Children screaming. Just screaming, not playing, laughing etc.
Constant traffic noise.
Men digging the road up and drilling.
Stone cutters going all bloody day
Parties way into the early hours on a hot night when I want the window open
People who's car and house alarms go on and on and on

The noise of tea being poured from a pot into a cup or mug or the noise of a kettle being poured into a mug. The effects are 10 times worse if it's on TV and it's a long drawn out pour .

barking or yapping dogs.

at least strimming means something constructive is happening. Not a pointless, food wasting, shit machine left at home for hours because the people who bought it got bored with it.

Anything bassy. Music or tv coming through the walls. Deep voices. Ticking clocks. Clicking pens. Makes me fantasise about murder. Mostly I just cry and desperately try to escape though.

The family whose garden backs on to us have a yappy little dog that spends most of the day yapping at anything that so much as twitched within a 100yd radius. They also have a toddler who only seems to be able to communicate with high pitched screaming and two slightly older children who seem nice enough but play football and basketball whenever it's not raining. Thud thud thud. They also play music way too loudly and have been having people round for boozy BBQs right though lockdown.

Wankers.
