The condition where specific noises bother you is misophonia, which is characterized by strong negative emotional reactions to particular sounds like chewing or tapping. One of the things that drives me insane is to hear anything shifting around inside my vehicle when I’m driving. I literally stop, get out and reposition whatever it is that’s making all that damn noise - or else I can’t continue to drive. What are some of those noises that get under your skin and damn near make you hate the world?
My neighbor’s ##&@% gas powered leaf blower. It’s creepy, when I or my wife are outside, out comes the blower at about 89 decibels. I sure understand why many communities, particularly in California are banning gas powered lawn equipment. I’m willing to bet he has already fried his hearing.
I don’t like it when they use those at 7am. Pretty loud when it’s still somewhat early in the morning, and just getting off third shift and trying to sleep.
A sudden loud noise, the sound of liquid being poured and chewing food. I don't even like to hear my OWN chewing.
Definitely don’t like sudden loud noises!! The sound of liquid being poured doesn’t bother me, especially if it’s alcohol. And yeah, I’m conscious about my chewing in public, but when I’m by myself I’m like the Tasmanian Devil cartoon character, LOL
I startle real easily! Someone entering a room I'm in real fast--the fists come up! A loud noise --the cussing starts and MAYBE the fists come up! I can be startled and then startled again some seconds or minutes later! I was at my computer one time and my number one son turned on the siren on a combo siren --loud speaker apparatus and I was up--chair kicked to the side and I was about 3 feet away from him with fists at the ready! He backed up said--WAIT!!
LMAO!! Man, my daughter, before she moved out on her own, would be in the kitchen and slamming those cabinet doors while I’m trying to watch tv- and it was loud, startled the hell out of me and pissed me off!!
I really don’t care for 4th of July because of the damn fireworks and nonsense going on before, during and after! Those damn M80s at 2am !!!
The shrill and gravely voices of John Sauer and RFK Jr!!! Sounds like fingernails scratching across a chalkboard!
My dad would do something similer he would wait till he had to stop then find the noise and stop it.We would call him the noise police.He passed away a year ago tommarow.This is the first time ive written about him.Hurts to much.Eric your the new noise police!wear it with honer.
Definitely something rattling in the car...makes me crazy. Funny, lately we've had this rattle / knocking in the front load washer, only at high speed spin....I figured it was a shock or bearing going and I would eventually get to it. I had to replace the pump a few weeks back and decided since I was already there....let's find the bad news. Ha ! I got off easy....somehow a marble got stuck behind the drum. I have no idea where a marble came from, it's been a handful of decades since I played with marbles...
It leaves an awful big hole in life. It gets better though....we often laugh about the crazy shit my dad would do....remember the good, wash the bad down the drain.
Back to noise. Remember the noise that the flyback used to make in 70-80's TVs? It would be right on the edge of your upper hearing, like 14kHz. Maddening. Of course some would say they couldn't hear it and thought I was crazy.
