Is anyone else's DH ridiculously noisy

Kids in bed but 4yo not quite settling. DH decides he's cooking stir fry. Chops veg on glass chopping board with all the might he can muster. Slamming cupboard doors every time he needs something. Opening door and shouting through at 3 million decibels, do you want noodles in it? (Not bothered just be bloody quiet).

It's hardly peaceful and he does it constantly Shock. AIBU to wish he'd be bloody quiet and should just be grateful he's cooking my tea?!

I love DH to death.

But his yawns! How loud?!?!?!?!

sayitisntsojo · 01/01/2019 19:52

Ha, my DP could write this about me, I yawn and sneeze much too loudly!!!

ineedtolovemyself · 01/01/2019 19:53

Yes! Everything and I mean everything a man can do, mine will do it 35467 times louder than he needs to.

frogsbreath · 01/01/2019 19:54

Yes!

There's absolutely no need for how loudly my DH flosses his teeth. The twanging!

Everything he does is loud. I wear earplugs at night and sometimes I keep em in part of the morning if it's the weekend and he's home.

Mine cannot walk quitely he makes a bloody elephant sound noisy especially when he is coming downstairs and from the bathroom to the bedroom.

Another thing he does that offends me is turns all the lights on when he is getting up mega early 5am. Lovey I am trying to sleep 💤

letsdolunch321 · 01/01/2019 19:57

Oh and sneezing - jeez !

Biancadelriosback · 01/01/2019 20:09

Mine has developed this really loud eating habits put of nowhere! Honestly it means I have to physically restrain myself from punching him! I can hear everything that goes on in his gob! Argh!!!

whatamidoingwithmylife · 01/01/2019 20:15

This thread made me laugh because my partner is the opposite. We both hate noise but he's so quiet he creeps up on me without me knowing - or I find him staring at me from the bottom of the stairs HmmConfused

Yep; i sometimes think DH is in a bad mood the way he closes cupboard doors yet he is normally completely fine and thinks he’s doing it normally

ipswichwitch · 01/01/2019 20:21

Ha! Mine thinks he’s a proper silent ninja type, but really he has all the grace and stealth of a rhino on a pogo stick. He woke the kids up the other morning with his noisy peeing (I’m starting to think he’s up a stepladder the noise it makes when it hits the water), and his comedy stealth walk just gave me the giggles. Told him he’d be a shit burglar and he was actually offended 😂

Justaboutawake · 01/01/2019 20:23

My DP has to play music ridiculously loud when he’s in the shower of a morning. Wouldn’t mind if it was nice, smooth music but nope, it’s garage or aggressive rap.
Apparently it helps motivate him to get ready. I just want to pull my ears off or stab him in the face

Boyskeepswinging · 01/01/2019 20:23

MY DH is in the main a quiet gentle soul but I swear a herd of elephants would make less noise coming up and down the stairs. To the extent that I am genuinely worried the whole staircase will collapse one day.

Effendi · 01/01/2019 20:30

Yes, no job too noisy in this house. Even when he's asleep he's making noise.

SandettieLightVesselAutomatic · 01/01/2019 20:36

Ooooh yes. It's like there's a bubble around DH where the volume is turned up. Bang crash thump shouty shout shout. DS is just like him. I hate excess noise so it drives me mad!

xJessica · 01/01/2019 20:48

Yes!! Sneezing, sniffing, snorting, burping, eating loudly, snoring, even noisy sleeping when he's not snoring!

MutantDisco · 01/01/2019 21:30

Yes. Especially when he chops his own bollocks off or so I thought bumps his head on something.

shpoot · 02/01/2019 11:54

Ha, the sneezing. It's like a really loud bark. He did it in the supermarket once and an old lady nearly leapt into the freezer

Our one year old looks set to burst into tears when my husband sneezes. He finds it terrifyingly loud.

Funny story - I'd finally got the baby to go to sleep (it took about 2 hours). My husband walks into the bedroom , sneezes , and we're back to square one. I handed him the baby and went to sleep.

FunshineCareBear · 02/01/2019 12:23

Oh yes. What is it with the sneezing-so melodramtic. I could him hear him eating from upstairs the other day! Also had the waking a baby it's taken me ages to settle with the dramatic sneezing Angry

silentcrow · 02/01/2019 12:33

That is my FIL, the loudest man in Loudville. The man has never met a door that couldn't be slammed, I'm willing to bet he could find a way to slam one of those slow-close fire doors. I think it's because of his loudness that my DH is such a quiet man. Combine that with my family's insistence on having the TV on constantly, which I hate, and our house is silent by default.

ScrambledSmegs · 02/01/2019 12:37

Ha! Yes, mine has the loudest sneeze, makes me jump when he does it. Apparently he hates sneezing so kind of shouts in anger while he's doing it? Fucker.

JustJoinedRightNow · 02/01/2019 12:41

Yes! The teeth flossing and swallowing of any drink. Drives me mad! So loud!!

thenightsky · 02/01/2019 12:43

Yes to the shouty sneezing. I tell him 'just sneeze, don't put your voice into it'. But he doesn't understand what I mean.

Even when he's asleep he's breathing noisily (when he's not vibrating the whole house with his snoring).

C8H10N4O2 · 02/01/2019 12:59

AIBU to wish he'd be bloody quiet and should just be grateful he's cooking my tea?!

Have you told him how much the noise is disturbing you all?

LoadOfUtterBoswellocks · 02/01/2019 13:05

Oh lord, I have found my people! DH is to stealth what Shermann tank is to ballet. Just getting into bed makes me want to grip the covers over my ears. Huff, puff, sigh, huff, groan, thud thud thud, SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!

He can't even eat or drink quietly. I may have to LTB, it's the only recourse.
