Noises I do not wish to hear

[Hueandcry]

My downstairs neighbour snoring. We'll anybody snoring really but why is he so loud it wakes me up. I can't bear it! Ditto his very loud television. He must be deaf to have the volume up so loud but I don't want to hear it above my own TV or music or whatever. Also the kids across the Street kicking a ball against the wall/garage/fence. I'm in a very bad mood today & the noise is constant. I can't stand it. Aibu?? Do I have misophonia?

The tree filled with parakeets next door, it is so full of them it is bright green instead of leafy green, that is fine, but the noise!!! They also sneak into my trees and shout at their pals instead of texting them or waving across.

The parakeets can text?

Buy her a soft close toilet seat, send it as a gift 🎁. If she has more than one bathroom, buy one for each and pray she doesn’t give them away or sell them.

Its probably worth the expense.

You'd be surprised at what they can do.

@Thesunwillcomeoutverysoon that also made me laugh, which is no mean feat given the mood I am in today 😂

Oh yes to the 'gobbing up flem' street noises, usually from old blokes (even worse when you look down on the way to the shop and witness the results all over the pavement ) 🤢

My neighbours dog barking in the house for hours on end. He's 14 and has never liked being alone. He must be so stressed and wired all the time.
I don't like noise at all, so I often just sit in absolute silence - it's just perfect.

My dh clearing his throat at 515 am while we get ready for work.It goes on intermittently with sniffing...blow your nose for heaven sake.Occasionally he will choke.
He has a nasal spray.That amount of mucous at that time in the morning is grim.🤢

Next doors son kicking his ball off the fence. They've also paved their garden ( great) so you hear thud thud thud of the ball for hours EVERY evening..
Next doors music..doof doof doof bassy crap booming through the wall of out of the Windows they have wide open all the time..
Next doors tv blaring
Next doors dog barking constantly
Next door just shouting at the top of their voices to each other because they can't hear each other over their shit music and loud tv

Basically I wish they'd shut the fuck up. Selfish bastards

When I am queen screens without headphones in public places will be punishable by death.

Of course. They prefer WhatsApp though, because it's green.

If I knew what shape her bum the toilet is I would do that. It's only the upstairs one I hear.

Totally agree. For an introvert who hates noise and craves silence and space (like me), the UK is a tough place to live. I hate having random strangers on top of me. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe. Everywhere you go around here they seem to be squeezing more rabbit hutch 'houses' onto bits of scrap land. There is nothing more depressing than a giant new build estate.

As for noises, number one would be vile, selfish boy racer IDIOTS who drive round in cars with engines that screech and exhausts that bang and explode. Apparently it's illegal, but what the hell, the police do NOTHING about it.

Ring doorbells that ring on the outside of the house so that I can hear them several houses along with the windows shut and groggily wake up thinking I need to answer the door, then remember we don't have a Ring doorbell, by which time it is too late to get back to sleep.

Why do they ring on the OUTSIDE of the door when the people are on the INSIDE?

My 6 year old repeatedly making stupid noises for no good reason.

The aresholes who walk along shouting into phones as if they are just shouting out of a window at someone miles away. They bellow such a lot of crap. Mostly half wit men but there are women doing it too.

Nextdoor having sex, our building has a bit of a courtyard so moans of “Dave, Dave, Dave (name changed!) reverberate around now windows are open because of the weather. Not only is it not nice to hear, but it stops you being in the mood, but sometimes you’re also a bit jealous that they’re having a great time.

Well he can’t help the snoring really, do you have earplugs?

Flats are always noisy.

Omg neighbours having sex is definitely worse than an old man snoring. I've had a rough day so just sitting here in silence & all I can hear is his fucking tele. I swear I will go mad if I have to live here much longer

The sound of the kitchen or bathroom extractor fan. The relief when I turn it off!!!

Empty cans make a lot of noise!

II just went out to fill the birdbath and someone is cooking with the door open next door. I was treated to the smell of burning onions and a chorus of 'They're cooking now, they're cooking nowow' to the tune of 'I'm ready now.............

I could have lived without that but he's a nice guy so will let him off😂

That has made me smile that you are filling your bird bath. I can't wait til I have a garden again & a bird bath. Bird noises don't bother me at all. Just annoying human noises or things like the hum of my electric toothbrush when it's charging. Am I weird?

I have a bird bath, a big plant saucer on a pile of bricks on a table, a large ceramic bird feeder filled with water on tnother pile of bricks on the lawn, and 2 ceramic saucers on the ground, plus a small one with a mix of earth and water by the bees houses as they use it to plug the holes. The ones on the ground are for hedghogs and foxes, the one on the bricks on the grass is for the robins as they like it, and the squirrels who like to drink from it. Pigeons bathe in the others and corvids soak their food in them.

I hope you get your garden and bird bath soon thry can give you much joy.
