Annoying noises

Misophonia - thanks other posters - I'd forgotten the name. Should have read the whole thread before posting.

I used to find my ex 's chewing irritating but not other people's. Then DS got really angry about DD's chewing and threw his plate of dinner at the wall! It seems there is an actual condition that some people suffer from that makes this a major problem. Thankfully the outburst was a one off. I assume he was having a bad day! I did then read up about it and also found out that one of my friends suffers from it and can't eat at work with a particular colleague.
Clearly my son and I have the condition but don't suffer it as badly as some. Since my divorce I've been unaware of it myself.

Misophonia is the name given to people getting upset and angry by the sound of people eating noisily. It's a known thing!
It's my only real issue around noise. I'm not keen on dogs barking but they don't get me upset but someone eating with their mouth open is not just about bad manners for me but something that really disturbs.
Not keen on kids running around above me or football on the TV... I rush to change the channel!

It’s whistling for me.
Only another sufferer can understand the pain whistling causes me. Although elderly I still have excellent hearing ( so far ) and a good whistler just hits notes which give me the shivers. And boy does it hurt. My jaw widens, my ears ache and the pain goes on for nearly an hour after whistlers long gone.
About time I found out why I have this reaction. Anyone know?

The older I get the more noise bothers me.
Love the sounds of nature and small children laughing.
There seems to be so much unnecessary ‘noise’. The worst for me is when the is continual background music or television. Why ?

Nail files - the emery board type!!!!! I had to buy an electric one to do my nails. And I couldn’t bear it when Bet Lynch on Coronation Street would file her nails in the Rovers!!!!
It just sets my teeth on edge.

Screaming/whiney kids.

Nothing really except when the grandchildren howl. Oh, and sniffing.

It's misophonia, see en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia and I wish I didn't have it. For me it is repeated coughing and someone eating next to me when I am not. Makes me want to scream!

Loud conversations on mobile phones especially at breakfast in hotels. Why can't people make their calls before coming down to b'fast and switch them off while having a meal/

Typing on phone with the Key pad sound still on.

1. Whistling
2. Tapping of fingers

I get so annoyed it's best I'm not near to any knives whenever I hear these noises.

Screaming children...
People who hold loud conversations especially on a mobile phone.
Loud music blasting out of cars.

My ASD son hates blowing his nose and has allergic rhinitis so starts to sniff REALLY loudly. It’s the only thing he does that irritates me but it’s so loud and so bad. He has nose spray and an infrared device but still has a good old sniff before he uses them and —I want to murder him— 😂

I think in general, inconsiderate “human -generated” noises annoy me most.
I know one neighbour complains about planes overhead (I never hear them) and motor bikes racing up and down the bypass at night a mile or so away from the village , but I can “tune” that out.
Noisy parties which go on into the small hours used to really get me when we lived in London and here, petrol mowers or strimming if I have guests and we’re having lunch in the garden.
I also recognise that who is generating the noise can affect how I feel. Neighbours who are friends? No problem. My grumpy and aggressive neighbour round the corner? Another matter!
In fact living in a quiet village I realise have nothing to complain about anyway.

The child who lives above me running backwards and forwards and jumping off the furniture. We've asked his parents to put soft shoes on him but they take no notice. Sometimes I'm driven to take a tranquiliser as I get really wound up by his antics.

Gingster, I agree with all your dislikes and likes here .......children giggling, bird song, etc. Bliss.

Whispering in the row behind at the cinema.
People singing along at a musical in the theatre.
Chain saws.

Rap music (the term music seems wrongly applied......)
Noisy eaters
Constant football thudding
Screaming kids

I can't sleep with a ticking clock near me.
Next doors dog used to bark and bark most of the day and it nearly drove me crazy. To make matters worse it didn't bother Mr R at all!

Chainsaws. Once they start, they seem to go on and on...

Very high pitched sounds make my head hurt. Like many people with a brain injury I can’t deal with a lot of noise. Crowded places, lots of people talking at once, complete overload!

Anything too loud, tv, cinema, shouting voices.
Kids who run around screaming, usually girls.
Car doors continually slamming.

Strimmers.
Noisy eaters, when I go for my breaks at work if there is a certain person in having their break I have to go out to sit in my car as I know I won't be able to eat my sandwich.

Also yes the bane of a lot of our lives, is dogs constantly yap yap yap yap yap yap, yet the owners are oblivious.

Barking dogs, there is one near me that barks the entire time their owner is out, the owner refuses to believe her dog does this and when someone let her listen to a recording said it wasn’t her dog.
