What is the worst noise you have ever heard from your home?

[ThatGreatNavyHedgehog]

A loud bang looked at and the house across was on fire.

Driving piles for our extension - horrendous for us and the whole street! Made our teeth chatter!

Not children for me but our two next door neighbours (who were and are great mates) taking it in turns to play music throughout that sunshine-filled, unseasonably warm lockdown. And we couldn't escape because lockdown

In this house it was the bang when the gas bottle exploded in the caravan that was in the woods near us. It didn't end well for the poor man that was living in it. In my old house it was the screams of rabbits being killed by foxes, it sounds surprisingly human.

Was this in a village beginning with L?

Can you not sue the developers for damage to your property?

During the first COVID lockdown I was in bed and the windows were open. I saw the lights of an ambulance and then after a while, a lot of screaming and people shouting 'No.' Then some of the family were outside smoking waiting for a private ambulance.

This happened to me

but with Bepanthen in the mid 2000s

it’s like sudocrem
but yellow

Coming home to a strange noise open the back door to the full force of DDog screaming because he'd broken his back (freak accident) Truly scarred me. Thankfully he's a tough little boot and survived the spinal surgery and is still keeping on 5 years later.

Actually, I just remembered another one.
I have no interest in the Air Tattoo event things, but there was one not that far from me. During that weekend, the Red Arrows were scheduled to go right over my town. I did not know this.
I was having an early afternoon snooze and was awoken by what I thought were bomber jets letting loose on my neighbourhood. I genuinely thought we were being bombed. It wasn't until heard kids in the street 'oohing' over it all, that I calmed down a bit.

Weaning calves/cows (can hear them at moment), it’s a sad sound. Ditto the sheep/lambs in Summer.

Coming home and opening the front door to the sound of a waterfall. The kitchen was a small lake.

Sand paper exploding as i sanded the floor today (belt sander)

It's a toss up between my alarm on a morning and DD9's auditory reaction to finding a spider. This means it's over to me to remove the bloody thing and I'm more scared than she is

Concorde taking off. I grew up on the housing estate next to where it was built and tested. It was the only plane, apart from the Red Arrows fleet, that would make the windows rattle. There were a lot of windows. It was a 60s house. It also looked like it was taking off at the end of the road due to the way our house faced in relation to the runway.

My cat, the first time she started making her new wailing sounds. I've always had cats but never heard anything like it! It is horrendous and everyone comments!

4am, and suddenly woken by DH leaning over me, hand over my fucking mouth, brandishing his cane at the door.

"Listen."

She was two floors below and it sounded like some kind of fucking demon! And we're not woo. 🤣 He hobbles down a flight of stairs expecting to see the girl from The Ring, me behind him with a bloody bit of wood, and next minute this fat old ginger cat appears and wails. Could have murdered her if she wasn't so cute!

DH with a vomiting bug last weekend. He scream sneezes and scream coughs and scream vomits. My son was sobbing in terror at the sound of it.

The miserable sound of my ex husband's voice when he comes to pick up my daughter.

I was woken at 6am by beautiful singing from a male voice choir. I thought I was hallucinating. I asked DH later on... he hadn't heard as he was asleep.

That reminded me of my DM telling me that after she had her appendix out when she was 9, she was half sleep after being brought back to the ward, and heard ‘angels’ singing. She thought she was dead and was up in heaven bless her. It was nuns ( Catholic hospital) walking round the wards singing.

My rule of thumb when I hear the cats freaking out in the night followed by a crash is: "can I smell burning? No? I'll deal with it in the morning then."

The worst sound though was the sound of the key being slipped in the front door lock at one in the morning while I was home alone while my parents were away. My Dad had left the front door open a couple of days earlier and someone had taken my DSis's keys from the hall table. The next sound heard was a large woman hitting the back of the door like a rugby player.

No, Sh.

I can't imagine how awful that must have been x

This is quite insensitive. There are plenty of other posts describing upsetting situations, and you come across as if you think your discomfort matters more than @Pinkypup sharing what she heard.

Also, your username could be considered quite triggering to some.

You can't leave us hanging like this!! What happened next?!?!

Sonic boom from a military plane that woke the south east of England up about 5 years ago!
