Noisy eaters
Dogs barking at night
Loud bangs from fireworks in the weeks leading up to and after 5th November

The sound of a football being kicked against a wall for hours on end. Doors banging....it's amazing that many people don't seem to notice!

The TV being g too loud (Dh denies his deafness).
People who speak /laugh too loudly.
Anything too loud really.

How about noises we love….

Sound of the sea
Birds singing
The wind in the forest trees
Little children giggling
Favourite music (not too loud)
My little dog snuffling as she sleeps beside me

The normal chalk on a blackboard.
And definitely snoring.

Motorbikes and mopeds. The horrendous noise they emit unsettles me to the point of fear and anxiety whenever I hear them approach.

When I first moved here in the 2000s, a visitor asked if I found passing foot-traffic into town irritating. I didn't, it was nice to be reminded there was a world out there. However in the last couple of years, big lorries leaving their engines on for 10/20/30 minutes when delivering to shops during the day, and thoughtless 20-somethings yelling and squealing to each other late into the evening (a local restaurant became an attractive place to drink and dance) have each become a real nuisance.
Environmental Health givers noise, but not these noises apparently.

On the radio here just now they have a phone in about what everyday noises really irritate people. Apparently there is a link between OCD and the extent to which noises get on your nerves. Things that were mentioned was the crunch of someone eating an apple, noisy eaters and slurpers and sneezing. All of these irritate me ( I don’t have OCD ), especially sneezing and another one is a chesty cough, probably a Covid thing, because if I hear someone coughing in a supermarket I shift aisles quickly and head off in the opposite direction ! I also can’t stand the noise of someone talking on the phone loudly.
What annoys you, if anything?
Oh, and dogs barking at night!
