    Almost any feedback noise. How is it that phone keyboards make noise by default? Fake camera shutter too needs to be turned off immediately on every phone.

    I bought a washing machine recently - it beeped four times whenever the setting dial on the front moved even one place. I heard the guy who installed it testing it out and nearly sent it back before finding I could turn it off.

    Why do Foley artists do noises whenever a computer does something? If my pc had a sound every time a window opened, a loading bar appeared, or some text appeared on screen, I would not be the perennially online misfit I am today.

    When people run their nails over a velvety surface. I have no idea why, but it makes my tongue itch. It’s specifically the back of bus seats that bother me for some reason. I haven’t ridden on a bus in years, and it still bothers me. I have no idea why.

      What drives me bonkers are the unnecessarily intensely piercing-bright white LEDs, TWO of them, in the UPC scanners at Goodwill, that somehow need to be on a stupid stand so the LEDs shine EXACTLY into people standing in line. Why the hell do you need such obnoxiously bright LEDs to read a barcode? And why do they need to be always on?

      And yet, the stupid “modern look” air conditioner I’m saddled with has stupid 7 segment displays that shine through the white plastic shell, and THOSE stupid LEDs have lost 95% of their brightness (in uneven spots) in less than two years…

    Nothing drives me crazier than a loud bird making the same obnoxious sounds over and over again for attention. Parrots, cockatiels, and mockingbirds are especially infuriating. I love birds but never want to own one ever again.

    Coil whine. Especially if it ends up triggering an acute tinnitus flare up, which is like coil whine times a million

    I am not autistic, but I have pretty severe misophonia. Sand paper is this worst. Just thinking about it is uncomfortable.

    Random douchebags roaring through the streets in their modded cars, especially after lights out. Don’t even get me started on the folks who do that and crank up their stereos all the way blasting music.

      I feel we should be allowed to catch these drivers, strap them to a chair at ear level of their idiotic car and have it run full throttle in their ear until the gas runs out.

        Should be confiscated on sight (sound?) and tossed into a portable metal crusher.

    I watched an urban exploration video the other day and they walked into a room where there were Christmas lights hanging and on with like 10 alarms all beeping differently.

    I had to stop the video. I refuse to be subjected to that criminal abuse.

    Most annoying noise is my phone alarm in the morning.

    Why did we build a society where we must wake up and drive away from our homes full of love and beauty at the maximum legal speed every day?
