People watching videos on their phone loudly in public spaces.

There's a slight difference between them. "Headphones" is usually the term for listening to music, whereas "earbuds" are something you'd say to refer to noise-cancelling a lot more.

I don't even like listening to anything on my own phone without my earbuds. There's something about the treble, a tinkering, scratchy sound that comes through. I'll only do it in the comfort of my home and I'm watching something with my daughter, but only for a short time. Music sounds like s**t through a phone speaker.

Have you ever heard a sound that made you annoyed, violent, or straight-up drove you insane? Quite a lot of people have particular sounds that make them want to crawl out of their skin. In fact, 10% to 40% of the general population is noise-sensitive. That means that they are more easily disturbed by noise than the average person.
These annoying sounds can be various, just as today’s list proves. In here, you will find a plethora of examples – from crying children to a fork scraping a plate to a Microsoft Teams message blip.

Same. Even a low heavy bass is too much for my head. Misophonia. (Not to be confused with the word for germophobe.) is the word to describe sensitivity to sounds. Particularly sounds that seem to be unnoticed by other people. It can make the person suffering from it feel crazy and not believed.

Smacking when eating. It has always been one of my worst pet peeves.

I will actually get physically ill at this sound. I had a co-worker at one point who was the loudest nastiest eater ever and if that wasn't bad enough, he was eating CONSTANTLY, so I couldn't just leave the office every time he started loudly chewing. It was loud enough that even with ear plugs AND noise cancelling headphones and the radio playing pretty loud, I could STILL hear him eating. Ugh I'm getting nauseous just typing this

I think they mean when it’s almost dry. It’s the friction from absence of moisture causing the shriek. Not old or bad blades. I was considering this as one my hated noises before I read it.
Load More Replies... The thing is, these negative feelings towards these sounds don’t come just from the plain irritability of a person; instead, it’s something they are born with. What’s interesting is that the sounds not only annoy these people, but also can have long-term effects on their mental and physical health.
Like the constant hearing of them can make a person nervous, fearful, and anxious. It might even force their body into a fight-or-flight response and cause heart disease and diabetes, along with mental health issues. And there’s no way you can “turn it off.” It is similar to a mosquito flying around – you just can’t stop hearing it.

You're lucky if it chirps. Mine, when the battery is low, sounds the alarm and then five seconds later (after you're bolt upright in bed and about to pee) is like "nah, it's cool".

Toddlers high pitched screeching, dogs continuous barking, having to overhear people’s personal phone calls at work.
Lou Cam 3 months ago (edited)
The thing is, toddlers can learn anything you teach them. If they scream in play, you stop the play and explain no more play if they scream. If they scream in a tantrum you remove them from the area (shop, restaurant) and again, nothing good happens until they calm down. My kids screamed once in play. They learnt not to and would shush any other kids screaming. Tantrum was harder as they can go past the point of return into meltdown but you can bet I've walked out of places with them so as not to annoy others. I lived in a flat at the time when they were young and it was only polite to have this behaviour sorted fromt the start. Just to note, both are AuDHD also. Dogs continuous barking is usually separation anxiety for being left alone all day or all night. So many people bought dogs in lockdown and then came to this problem when they had to go back to work. So many dogs surrendered to shelters because of it.

Yet, sound sensitivity shouldn’t be mixed up with another sound-related disorder, misophonia. You see, general sound sensitivity is about all kinds of noises, as you can see from the examples we already provided before.
At the same time, misophonia usually concerns specific sounds like chewing, tapping, or ticking. Additionally, while sound sensitivity can cause a variety of emotions, most often, misophonia triggers disgust and/or rage.

I want to add, on similar topic. I know babies need to eat, obviously. I just don't like hearing the sucking sounds they make, especially when a mic is near them.
StrangeOne 3 months ago
I hate it when parents just let their babies cry as they go about shopping and go down every aisle with a kid that gets louder and louder because they aren't getting their parents attention and needs met. Newsflash: Babies cry to communicate. Try figuring out what they need. Love and hugs is also a need, as it provides emotional stability and security. It's not "nothing", or "spoiling".
SchadenFreudian Psychology 3 months ago
Do whatever you have to do to make them be quiet. Diaper change? Hungry? Wants some cuddling? The sooner you do it, the sooner they stop crying. And it’s better for the baby. Children whose needs aren’t met promptly grow up to be insecurely attached, which leads to other problems.

Interestingly, just like general sound sensitivity, the mentioned disorder’s cause also lies in people’s brains. Well, it kind of makes sense when you think about it – our brains are responsible for the majority of things that happen to our bodies, after all.
People with misophonia, it turns out, have abnormal brain connections in the anterior insular cortex, a place that processes emotions and regulates bodily responses. This means that their brain perceives certain sounds as a threat, even if a person knows it actually isn’t dangerous.

When a fork scrapes a plate.
LizzieBoredom 3 months ago
As my late Grandmama Dupree used to say "Paper don't scrape. Now, where'd I put my pipe?".
Also, these people have greater levels of myelination – the brain’s natural insulation, which helps signals travel quickly between different areas. All of this was proven by a study done with 44 misophobics. Granted, the sample size isn’t large, but the results that were received from it open the path for the disorder to be researched more and hopefully formally recognized.
So, if you keep finding yourself constantly overwhelmed by certain sounds, maybe you have any of these conditions? Of course, we’re not here to diagnose you or anything, just to give you some food for thought. And ask you – what kind of sounds annoy you the most? Please share in the comments.

Leafblowers.
StrangeOne 3 months ago (edited)
The last caretaker I had would run his leaf blower before 7am. There were NO LEAVES. NOTHING. One of my neighbours who would sit outside said all he did was kick up the sand fleas. (If you're wondering, the cities spread sand on the sidewalks and roads in the winter when it gets icy. During the spring and summer that sand is spread out everywhere, in the grass, the crevices of the concrete, everywhere. It attracts little mites that bite.)

People should be less picky about leaves, anyway. Leaving some of them on the ground gives your yard a nice wooded look, and it’s good for the insects and critters.

I'm somehow endorsed by a cleaning product brand." *clack* *clack* *clackity* "Now watch me clean things that are already cleaned by my professional cleaner."

I hadn't even got back to my email before the phone rang for a third time.

Any time a politician speaks here in the US. We have a uniparty that likes to keep us divided on everything. If a politician is speaking, they are lying.

I misread the name as "diarrhoea". Can't help but feel that might have been more apt.

Not angry but very uneasy and scared : the sound of ticking clocks. I read "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" when I was a bit too young and ever since it's a sound that makes me shiver in fear.

I find the sound of a ticking clock so calming and relaxing.

Birds chirping!! I was once in the waiting room at an airport and they played a recording of birds chirping because some people apparently enjoy it. Not me. That terrible noise got to my head to the point I screamed, "Hand me my gun, I'm gonna shoot those b*stards!" My partner didn't have a fun time explaining terrified people and security that I don't actually have a gun and I was talking about shooting the birds in the speakers, I wasn't planning on harming anyone who's not a bird.

For me, nothing spoils a quiet afternoon in the garden more than the sound of a collared dove, which even in bird books is described as having an "irritating" call.

Mosquito or fly buzzing my ear. Especially when I am trying to sleep.

I will get out of bed and relentlessly hunt that critter down until I have destroyed it.

If you have ever worked a job where the f*****g phone rang constantly, to the point where you never had enough downtime to adequately finish your other assignments ed work without interruption, then you will HATE HATE HATE the sound of a phone ringing. I worked jobs like that, nd I turn my phone ringer TF OFF and let calls go to voicemail when I’m at home. In the old days, I would turn the ringer off and turn the answering machine on. It took working that kinds of job to make me, someone who, as a teenager, LIVED on the phone and could talk on it for HOURS, into someone who hates telephones, screens calls closely, and blocks every damned unwanted/telemarketer/spam/robo call all the damned time. When I’m on my own time, I want peace. If you need me, I’ll call you. If it’s an emergency, that callback will be quick.

This 100%. I hate the sound of ringing phones. It breaks my concentration, i forget what I'mdoing and i hate being disturbed. Only this morning at work, I had typed just 3 words of an important email when the phone rang. I finished the call and got back to typing my email when the phone immediately rang again. I hadn't even got back to my email before the phone rang for a third time. By the time I got back to my email I had completely forgotten what I was going to type and then I got moaned at because I hadn't sent the email. When I am at home I don't do phone calls unless it is life or death. Give me an email or message any day.
