To hate aeroplanes, dogs, my neighbours and anything else that makes a sound?

[okthen]

Don't they understand that the world revolves around my baby having a nap, so I can have a break? (Well, a 'break' as I also have a three year old).

Ds will often only sleep in the pram in the garden, and I can't describe the irrational yet molten rage which fills me when something/somebody wakes him.

I have actually thought to myself before that my neighbour was totally unreasonable to have new windows fitted.

And have just nearly cried when dd rustled a paper bag noisily (paper is surprisingly the noisiest thing in the world, have you noticed?)

I have been sat here rocking for an hour. And you think I mean rocking the pram...

I am very Irritated by noise these days. All noises. Never mind if dd is sleeping or not, I would rather silence at all times please!

Yy I feel the same. I hate dogs. Neighbours have a noisy fucker and I cannot stand it, yet they have the audacity to bang on the wall when our baby cries It's going mad right now, it's so loud I can record on my phone and it sounds like it's in our house. They also have a really loud house phone that also sounds as though it's in our house and someone in the house that sneezes all of the time and it sounds like an explosion.

I've never had any patience with outside building work either, even before DC.

For months I freaked myself out with this rhythmic knocking from next door, 3 knocks, pause, 3 knocks, pause

Turns out they have a dartboard on the wall that joins our house why?!

I used to play low level music from mine been tiny so they'd get used to noise.

Good job, because when he was a few months old, a building was being demolished at the end of our road. I swear they had a 'breaker' that used to shake the whole street! He was fine though.

Teething....now that's a different matter...

Yy

I remember violently hating a thunderstorm once

We've always lived in noisy places. Still doesnt mean that DS got used to it although he has gotten better (slightly) as hes gotten older.

I still hate people who roar off from traffic lights
(Esp motorbikes and cars at 3am)

Round here it's fuckarsing rag and bone men. Every day.

pissing myself at 'fuckarsing'

Yes! The SODDING rag and bone man!

We get people letting off fireworks in the middle of the night. Drives me insane. I fume on behalf of my DS, even though he can quite happily sleep through pretty much anything. They don't know that though, do they?!

Also those politicians canvassing using loudspeakers on cars. Prepubescent boys with their high-pitched voices. DP's loud clomping feet and general banginess. The doorbell. The phone. All the people that phone me on the phone.

I need to get out more.

I get quite annoyed by planes, people passing my house jabbering and my kettle.

We get people letting off fireworks in the middle of the night. I read somewhere that this was a way that drug dealers let folk know they have new stock in

oh what gets me is the clicky clacking of DS's phone keys as he texts (at a million clicks per second)

I don't want to be deaf....I just wish the world was quieter.

no one talks any more, they all sound like barry scott.

no one knows what ''personal'' headphones/sets are.

Noise annoys me, especially other people's noise.

I do have a reason for this though, having lived next to successions of dreadful neighbours for 10 years to the point that I developed panic attacks and General Anxiety Disorder!

I remember tearing my neighbour off a few strips when he slammed his front door waking a newborn DD1 5 minutes after I'd finally got her off to sleep after a completely sleepless night. I bought him beer and apologised a million times I felt so bad

Although, he did tell me that his wife had also given him a bollocking as well as he knew there was a newborn baby next door

Right now, the kids screaming right out the front of my house is irrationally annoying me - they're not mine and live about 50 yards down the road, sod off and scream outside your own house

surprisemuffins exactly the same happened to me and DC and we still get them.

freddiefrog exactly too.

trashcan I've used the word that often it's now in my iPhone autocorrect

I'm quite proud of that.

I know what you mean about bags OP. Ds when a baby would often sleep best if I walked him round town in his buggy, meaning I would often stop and buy a few bits at the shop on the way. He could sleep through traffic noise, busy brightly lit Tesco, going past a building site ... But woe betide if I rustled those plastic bags too loudly PING eyes wide open. I frequently left the shopping in the buggy basket until he woke up naturally. And DH wondered why I rarely bought frozen stuff...

we were woken at 6am by next door guy with his banging door fetish. went out soon after. when we got back at 1.30, completetly zonked out with tiredness and wanting to nap, he was STILL at it. its 8.55 pm and WTF is he doing with the bloody doors?????

DCs screaming her head off with it (autistic and supersensitive to noise and he knows it) and ive banged on the wall a couple of times but bloody nothing.

hes not a bad guy just- what tf ???????

We are regularly treated to next doors bed and headboard knocking on the wall as she has a new boyfriend!
Just as I am crawling into bed usually after a hard day. Haven't worked up the courage yet to let her know we can hear EVERYTHING!
Any tips?

but if they can hear you in various ways surely theyd get it through their thick heads that you can hear THEM?

Birds. Always the birds here. Wished I had a shotgun so many times when DD was a baby.

Ice cream vans. Piss off with your stupid jingly jangly noise before I bludgeon you to death with a Twister.
