Most annoying sound ever?

[alligatortoss]

Sat in a waiting room. Woman texting on other side of the room.

All I can hear is CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK.

Turn your bloody phone on silent. Aibu?

The 'I've finished' alert on my washing machine.

EEEEEP.

EEEEEEP.

EEEEEEP.

Then silence for a minute, just long enough to acknowledge what a bloody irritating noise it is. Then

EEEEEEP.

EEEEEEEP.

EEEEEEEP.

yeah, the washing's finished. I'll go and get it after this programme's fini--

EEEEEEP.

EEEEEEEP.

EEEEEEEEP.

People clicking their tongues.
My own toes. On my left foot, my big toe joint is always a bit stiff and sore. It clicks. Not all the time, just when I'm not expecting it. Bloody clicky thing. Sod off toe.
The "umph umph" noise my cat makes that means I'm going to have to clean up fur balls or cat sick soon.
Oh and -
Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum

My colleague has really long nails and at least three jangly bracelets on each wrist. She types at the speed of light and all day I listen to her nails and bangles jangling. It's soooo distracting.

I once sat in a waiting room with a woman who had a tongue piercing. Every 30 seconds or so she would do this huge overdramatic yawn with a yelp and then finish off by clicking her piercing against her teeth.

I actually hated her after ten minutes of that.

Sound of the Lego tub being emptied

Yoghurt carton scraping in the office, the fucking yoghurt is gone- stop scraping the fecking thing. Gulpy coffee drinking, cutlery on stone wear or slate, crisp packet rustling and munching, sniffing, bangy keyboards and space bar hitting, nail clacking, the list is endless. But I know I suffer with miso phonia and any noise that is out of my control is a potential trigger for rage.

Someone slowly unwrapping a boiled sweet (presumably to not disturb other people?) so you get a slow crinkle noise then pause then crinkle crinkle pause crinkle pause. Just open the sweet and be done with it! I would much rather deal with a tiny noise once than a dozen almost-noises. And just put that wrapper straight in the bin, no need to scrunch it up as that defeats the object of the slow crinkles in the first place!

The school kids on my tram every morning.

Sam smiths voice.

iTonya what washing machine do you have? You can usually turn off the beeping quite easily.

@stinksworth
I have never found anyone else who hates the polystyrene sound until now. Usually people look at me as if I have 2 heads if I mention how much I hate the sound it makes.

I also hate the awful sound latex balloons make when whey land on carpet. Urgh.

It cannot be the most irritating noise ever because that is my dd2 complaining about putting her school shoes on.

Yes!!!

My ddog chewing her fur.

Goodness I could write a novel on the sounds I hate. But I think first prize goes to sound leakage from other people's headphones.

My dog likes to lick the kitchen floor, then just smacks his lips. Every night drives me bonkers

@Nestofvipers

We can't be the only ones surely?! It's awful!

MUMMY!!!!!

The hamster chewing on the bars of his cage, he's got toys and a wheel but no all I hear is that annoying rumbling sound. It then makes me worry about his teeth enough already with the insessasnt chewing!

The bleeping on the 6-head embroidery machine I use at work. It embroiders the same design on 6 things at once. Every time there's an error or a thread break on any of the heads it'll slow and stop and then make this stupid 'beebedeep' bleep noise. It's especially aggravating on days when there are constant thread breaks or bobbin issues on several different heads. Makes me want to smash the thing up with a hammer.

Any eating/mouth noises. Makes me murderous and its even worse coming from an adult.

Other people's whining kids.

The bloke I used to work with who couldn't speak without whining like a spoiled child. Was so glad to leave that job.

Dh snoring when I can't sleep.

Kissing noises, chewing noises, mouth noises. It makes me seize up with anger instantly. I turn into a crazed woman within seconds.

Any sound that comes out of Caroline Quentin's mouth.

Headphone leakage.

Sniffing.

Radio not tuned in properly.

Clicking knuckles.

I hate mouth / chewing / eating noises too. Makes me cringe.

But what really annoys me... angers me actually... is people licking their fingers after eating and making that 'shhhmack' noise.

It literally fills my entire body with a sensation akin to jumping into ice water, and brings on such rage that I HAVE to leave the vicinity or I WILL KILL them or at least tell them to fuck off.

WHY do people do this? It's INTENSELY HORRIBLE.
