Most Annoying Sound

Post by **Zaia** » 2004-01-25 06:48pm

Annoying? People talking (especially on cell phones) during a performance of some kind.

Most horrible? Hearing people arguing through the walls of an apartment, especially when it's an abusive relationship.

I hate loud keyboards too. Why are they still being made like that!!?

Ah well, at least I found this[findsounds.com] trying to find those awful stock sounds I was whinging on in my last post...

Linen. I hate the sound linen makes when it rubs against itself, or someone runs their fingernails across it. I use flannel sheets even in the summer because I hate the sound of linen. Every time I hear it it's like someone hit me in the small of my back with an icepick.

A close second is the sound nylon "swishie" pants make when someone's walking in them. That doesn't bother me QUITE so much as linen, but since it's more likely I'll have to keep hearing it, it rapidly gets me to the point where I have to leave the room or go nuts.

The sound of metal being distressed, usually by metal vs. metal, or metal vs. concrete.

Agreed, I was emceeing a grade nine arts night and had to fill up dead air and some d00ds cellphone rang, so I began repeating his end of the coversation to the crowd like a sports commentator.

Most annoying and horrible.

The perpetual beeping sound that some of these new games make. Jesus if I ever hear that game again I'm gonna scream, curl up into a vall, and cry.

Well, for most of friday after hearing a demo of the Beolab 5 monitors, it was the sound coming out of any other speaker.

That aside, I'd have to say it's that bastardization of the fugue from the Bach Toccotta and Fugue in D minor that is on so many cell phones.

I can't stand the sound of liquid being poured into a glass. If it's at the dinner table or something, it's not so bad, but in commercials where they greatly over exaggerate the sound, it bothers the hell out of me.

Noam Chomsky raising his voice. I'm not kidding. He speaks softly for a reason.

Transistor/circuit whine, sorry most of it is inaudiable to most of you, those of use who can hear them it's painful.

Commercials greatly overexaggerate every sound they make. I consider it to be particularly egregious noise pollution and avoid the TV because of it.

Sniffling or snorting in public
Excessive popping of chewing gum (you know...the kind that makes that loud ass pop)
Anyone talking with a whiney ass voice

The reason they make loud keyboards is because it makes sure it actually seems like your doing something. That, and I like loud keyboards (hugs IBM Model M to chest) espeacially ones so well built that I can beat people to death with them and return to typing (Hugs IBM Model M to chest again)

1 - When someone chews with their mouth open. It makes me want to barf.

2 - Chain links. Not the twisted links like on wallet chains, but real chain links. Insta-migraine.

3 - Someone telling you they care about you and proving themself a liar.

They bastardize the Toccatta, not the Fugue.

That horrible screeching sound the subway makes when it's going around a turn.

Take kids around 3-6 when they're running around screaming wildly like little engines of destruction, the sound tears at my very soul

My mothers voice

The fire alarm in my halls which is tested every week!

The little noise that issues from my computer whenever Windows decides to fuck me over again!

Broom on concrete.

The deep rythmic thump-thumping sound that is all you can hear of rock music. It goes through walls, ceilings, ect and makes it impossible to sleep.

Especially after midnight.

Einhander, that's an AWEsome Site, thanks. would be great for all you wanna-be flash animation superstars.

MY annoying sound is when my stomach bubbles, or gas travelling along my intestines. You know, that sickening kind of Woooooooorrrrrrrrp as it moves along. and if there's liquid inside, all the worse. nothing worse than a wet Worrrrrrrrrrrrrpbpbpbpbbpppbpbpbbbbbbbb....

My next door neighbor banging on my wall because she's stoned, and I just got home....

The rattleling, banging, and groaning of a steam radiator.

Oddly enough, nails and chalk on a chalkboard don't bother me at all.

I absolutely DESPISE the sound of people filing their nails. I have to leave the room when my girlfriend does it.

::Shudders::

I can't even THINK about it. I don't know why.
