Noises that give you the RAGE

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?

Loud motorbikes bezzing past when I'm walking

Heavy metal music and happy hardcore- my neighbour used to play it loudly one night a week, the constant duff duff noise made me want to go round and strangle her

Ring doorbells

When people get out of a chair by just standing up and scraping pushing it back along the floor. Especially when it’s grown adults.

Sniffing, chewing, crunching, slurping, snoring, ticking clocks, banging doors and our neighbours gate that bangs in the wind!

Motorbikes. I had motorbikes with an intense passion. It would be different if they had a motor like cars that wasn't as noisy. I'm also a migraine sufferer so they make me physically sick too.

Cass, YANBU, it's sinister to buy a terraced house and start tretaing like like it's Cotswalds. However, a baseball bat and a silent man can get that sorted. How are you gonna go out on your terrace if your knees are broken?

It's a win-win situation 👣

Basketballs bouncing. drives me nuts. Music from neighbours, who the heck thinks it's ok to inflict noise on others? Utterly selfish.
