Noises that set your teeth on edge

[ChippySauce]

Somebody’s trainers squeaking on the floor in Sainsbury’s earlier 😫

What does it for you?

Screaming kids.

People sucking up a drinking straw when there is evidently only a thimble full of liquid left amongst a handful of ice cubes.

Hard bristle brush on a concrete floor. Just saying it sets my teeth off!

Some of these are not set your teeth on edge noises. They are noises that gross you out or make you feel nauseous or angry. That’s not the same. I also have misophonia and certain noises make me crazily, irrationally angry - the worst for me being the sound of someone eating especially if they do it leaning over my shoulder. It honestly makes me want to kill them. But that isn’t a “set your teeth on edge” noise. A hard bristle brush on a concrete floor actually makes my teeth tingle/itch unpleasantly. It’s a really horrible sensation that and makes you feel very uncomfortable (edgy!) - that’s what is meant by a noise “setting your teeth on edge”.

The Scouse accent. Especially when they’re excited/irritated and shouting when there’s not 1ft between two people. Unfortunately I’m surrounded by it where I live. I’m surprised I have any teeth left to grind. It’s seriously grating. How can people be so loud in such close proximity that you can hear them next door from any room in your house (NDNs also very often seem to gather in their bathroom to shout between themselves while I’m on the loo on the other side of the terraced wall - very off putting being able to hear every word clearly), can hear people in the street from your living room but also from across the street in front of your house.
I’m not sure why daily conversations have to be shouted to such an extent. I don’t care what they’re talking about, I like a quiet life. But it’s frequently disrupted daily by “FFFFFUCKING HELL LAD HAHAHAHA!”
”EEEEE DID SHE YEAH?”
”YOU FUCKING WHAT?”
”AAAAHAHAHA”
”OI, GET HERE NOW YOU LITTLE FUCKING SHIT!”
”ARE YOU FUCKING MESSING? DONT TAKE THE FUCKING PISS WITH ME LAD!”
”WHAT THE FFFFUCK IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM LAD?” Loud banging noises
A family of a married couple, two sons who are there often and a daughter who isn’t often there. I appreciate my 94 year old deaf neighbour on the other side.

Oh just to add, all the NDN’s children mentioned above are well over 18

Metal scraping on metal 😢

My next door neighbour singing in her garden. Why she thinks I want to hear her very loud, school choir style warbling is beyond me. It gives me the absolute rage when EVERY sunny day she’s out in the garden screeching, spoiling it for everyone.

What accents? I love accents. I don’t love the way everyone speaks but that’s less to do with the accent and everything to do with their character

This annoys me too. I can also feel the vibrations from the vehicle. I can’t settle until it’s left.

The wheely baskets in Aldi. When someone sets them down after wheeling, they make an awful scraping noise

Quite specific 🤣

I’m perimenopausal. Every single noise annoys me right now (ok, I may have slightly exaggerated with that last sentence 😁).

Starmer speaking.
Neighbour next door out in the garden with a monotone whistle.
People that can not pronounce the word Loch it is not lock, locks are in doors or canals!
Very posh so called accents. Ho ray Henry's or Henrietta's.
Eastender's soap opera.

DD’s current boyfriend cracking his knuckles, bashing cutlery against his teeth, humming little tunes to himself… I want to hit him over the head with a saucepan! 😡

Oh God, yes.

Yes!! I just complained to my DH about next door doing this! They sit in the car with the engine running for what feels like ages; the low drone seems to go through my head, I have to shut the windows.

My adjoining next door neighbour shrieking over the top of a hairdryer to get clients inches from my back door. It drives me insane as she has up to 22 clients a week and often 2 at a time 5 days a week so I get absolutely no peace in my kitchen or garden ever. Add to that her swearing when cutting hair at the top of her lungs. We live in a residential area which does not allow houses to run business.
