What do you have to turn off that's on TV because you can't stand the sound?

I just ran into the lounge from the kitchen because QI started. I hate the theme tune, I hate the claxons. I don't know if I'd like it as a quiz show because it's like listening to nails down a chalk board.
I had to stop watching Eastenders because of all the shouting.
Sports aren't great but football is a no go because of the crowd noise. Just as well DP isn't a football fan!
Anyone else got anything they have to turn off?

Eastenders because of the constant shouting.

Gardeners' World for the pregnant pauses filled with birdsong.

The canned laughter on Last of the Summer Wine. There is one very loud person going "WOOOOOOOO-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo". Now I've heard it it's all I can hear, and it has me running for the mute.

Match of the day, can’t stand the theme tune

draughtycatflap · 06/04/2021 05:34

The Yorkshire tea advert where they shout DO IT FOR YORKSHIRE

Absolutely hate The One Show, especially the theme tune

contraversial2021 · 06/04/2021 07:02

Alan Carr or Graham Norton

@TwoZeroTwoZero

Snapped on Sky Crime. That woman's voice and intonation does my tits in!

Football for the same reasons as pp ^^ said.

Quite a lot of adverts.

One of those 999 emergency programmes about the hart team. The narrator's voice is so irritating. I think she has a Yorkshire accent, but it's nothing like mine; she says things like, "The victim... is in grerve dernger. They marght... not merke it out... alarve," in an overly serious and dramatic tone. Both dh and I rush to the remote to turn it over!

Sounds like she’s from Hull Grin

Mrs Brown's Boys, every bit of it irritates me

Felty · 06/04/2021 07:29

Greg Wallace’s idiot perpetual shouty voice.

mydogisthebest · 06/04/2021 07:32

Eastenders because of all the shouting and Danny Dyer's voice. The Wall because of Danny Dyer's voice

Cowbells · 06/04/2021 07:33

Anything with Harry Hill's voice. He gives me the creeps.

Gladimnotcampinginthisweather · 06/04/2021 07:33

Adverts. We mute them as soon as they start

Cowbells · 06/04/2021 07:34

I also hate the shouty sound of football crowds, but DH is a massive football fan so I make sure I'm at the opposite end of the house.

Gladimnotcampinginthisweather · 06/04/2021 07:35

LunaNorth and what's wrong with coming from Hull? 😉

Vursayles · 06/04/2021 07:40

Completely agree with you re QI - the klaxon
is AWFUL, it makes it unwatchable for me. Just feels annoyingly smug and know-it-all so that I couldn’t care less about the correct answer.

Yakka Dee and Waffle on CBeebies. Theme tunes straight from the Underworld.

Lelli kelly! The unicorn is magic! The unicorn is magic! The unicorn is magic!

Cant fucking stand that unicorn

LadyWithLapdog · 06/04/2021 07:43

Alan Car, Jimmy Carr, Trump, P Morgan, Johnson (I have to read the updates in the paper, I can’t stand his faux-stuttering and general fakery).

jackstini · 06/04/2021 07:43

For DH it's bagpipes

For me, DS's Fortnite videos - the constant screaming OMG and hysterical exclaiming! He is very limited now in which ones he can watch

10YearsOlder · 06/04/2021 08:07

The Dreams advert, the woman from Gavin & Stacey does the voice over but the volume is ramped up and she seams to screech "Deams!" - Makes me jump when the ads come on.

KittyFilter · 06/04/2021 08:20

Formula one/motor racing - very very very annoying sound

Tejutas · 06/04/2021 08:52

Nigel Farage
Shouting on Eastenders
There was an ad for nappies or something with babies giggling. I'm not generally a grinch and like to hear kids laugh but there was something about it that really grated.
