Noises that give you the RAGE

[ArtixLynx]

You know, the ones that don't just irritate you, but its almost instant RAGE when they happen.. there's just something about them that really gets to you.

I'll preface this by saying i'm Neurodivergent and particularly sensitive to noises, i'm aware they might not bother anyone else.

My biggest one is the sound of the dog licking things. carpet, himself... just that awful repetitive moist licky noise. UGH
Also his bark is another one.. think thats just because it makes me jump every time (usually barking at squirrels in the garden)

Beeping, couple of the kids games have a constant beep that i can't tolerate and they have to either go play elsewhere or use headphones... same with tv programmes where they're in a medical setting and there is the monitor beep.

Certain tones of roadwork/building noises, like stone cutting, or the drone of some of the generators they use... feels like its just living in the base of your skull.

Before anyone asks.. i've taken to wearing noise cancelling earplugs lately.. its sweet relief!

What are yours?

Sniffing phlegm intro their through? Throat, obviously.

'Into their throat'. FFS.

I've annoyed myself now.

Loud music blasting late at night. Have no tolerance for it and makes me so angry.

@SinnerBoy What type of music do you like?

@AffIt lol, no need, we're all in this together 😅

Fingers rubbing on a magazine/balloon type surface. Any kind of eating/chewing/slurping noises.

I completely agree.
Also, as a young child I chewed on a blanket and the noise/sensation nearly made me vomit (think teeth grinding on a towel noise). I know that's a bit random but I can't stand thinking about it.

I hate buzzing (toothbrush charging at night).

Clocks loudly ticking if trying to sleep.

My kids screaming at each other.

DD can't stand people eating loudly and cries (she may be ND?). Her reaction is an extreme one. She says she needs ear phones and doesn't like discos (on holiday). She will sit and cry so I have to take her out.

It's so awful but my stepson just seems to do every single noise that I can't stand!

Cracking knuckles, loud gulping when drinking (like, not normal swallowing noises like everyone else in the house), lip smacking and audible chewing noises when eating (with mouth open). He also makes this weird noise as he constantly licks his lips, so if we're sitting watching TV or reading or whatever it's constant.

He's 20 .. and to date I've never mentioned any of them because I'd feel like a bitch, but honestly, there's nobody else in this house who irritates me with noises, but he can't seem to stop making them!

Liquid sloshing/pouring is my worst sound - so many tv shows and films use the "then they poured a glass of water/wine" as a conversational pause and it drives me to instant rage. I've found myself shouting "Oh, F* OFF!" at the tv when its particularly loud and unexpected.

Keys/change jingling in pockets.

My husband eating peanuts.

I could have throttled him last night whilst trying to watch Happy Valley!!!

@SinnerBoy What type of music do you like?

All sorts, rock, metal, blues, ska, older jazz, rock and roll, some disco, some classical.

@SinnerBoy Oh that's nice. Good to know you a bit more when not playing Word Association Game 📖

Repetitive beeping noises, mouth noises, pen clicking.

😀

People talking loudly when they're right next to you.

Swallowing noises.🤮

Cutlery being dropped into the rack/ drawer too roughly.

The microwave ping. I have to stop it at 1 sec.🤣

Slamming doors.

MY FUCKING HUSBAND SNORING.

I swear one of these days I will put a pillow over his face.

Can you tell I haven't had much sleep recently?

Leaf blowers: use a broom, you'll live longer
Jet skis: selfish noisy fuckers spoiling the enjoyment of everyone on the beach.

The noises that give me the rage the most are people related - chewing, sniffing, and the awful thing that @AffIt describes which is mostly done by young men in public. Why they do it, who they think is impressed by it I don't know. If it was a natural function you would surely get people of all ages and women doing it too which I've never noticed.
I don't have a dog but if I did I can imagine being irritated also by the licking/lapping up water noises.

DH snoring whilst I desperately try to sleep.

Souped up exhausts.

And this is exactly why I've come back downstairs and am now back on here!

Babies screaming.
Kids screaming/yelling
Doors slamming
Car alarms
Loud music
People slurping soup
People humming or whistling
People snoring
Loud phone ringtones

Yes, I am old and crotchety! 🧐 😁

Lots of noises are irritating, but, the only thing that I come close to genuinely not being able to cope with is the beeping. The fucking constant, inescapable, interminable fucking beep beep beeping of every modern appliance. The bane of my life. The microwave, the oven, the fucking coffee machine - though they all are trying to beep their alert to danger (or, at the very least, inedible burnt food). But there’s no fucking need for the washing machine, the dishwasher and the tumble dryer to haunt me with their high pitched screech. I thought I was the only one who’d noticed but dd2, home from Uni, actually said to me yesterday ‘omg mummy, do they have a sensor that can tell your arse touched the seat?😂’. I felt so vindicated. 😂
