Autism

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.

OK since nobody has said it yet. How everything has a goddamn LED in it to show its on or off or disconnected or whatever.

I hate how I have to put eletrical tape over all my device lights so I can get some peace at night.

Edit: shit thus thread is specifically about noises not general annoyances. I do not retract my statement however.

I learned how to solder purely to remove unnecessary beepers and LEDs from appliances

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.

most high pitched squeals

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

hitting the upvote so hard and then seeing the community

hmmmmm

Easily the assholes on motorbikes who go out of their way to be as noisy as possible and cause a whole row of houses to vibrate tangibly.

At my last place I used to wake up 2-3 times a night from this.

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.

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

I hate that microwaves have to beep like R2-D2 everytime you push a fucking button. I was in a crappy hotel room once, and in that room was a microwave from the '90s. That thing had an analog timer and dials and physical buttons and shit. No crappy capacitive touch sensors. It was amazing. Every microwave should be like that. Oh, and when the food was done you heard a ding (LIKE A FUCKING BELL!) and that was the only sound it made aside from the ooooooooooooo sound of the thing. It was amazing. I still long for a microwave like that one.

For the past several months, in my neighborhood, there is a periodic very low frequency thumping sound. Imagine a chopper motorcycle idling, but lower frequency and very distant. It comes, lasts about 20 minutes, and then stops. I've only heard from one other person in the neighborhood who has noticed it.

Closing the windows does nothing because it's such a low frequency. Also, because it's a low frequency, it sounds the same whether inside or outside, and it's impossible to figure out which direction it's coming from. I usually miss it during the day, but at night, if I hear it I can't get to sleep until it stops.

I like it when my cat beeps and makes noises.

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?

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.

Babies or toddlers crying is one of the big reasons I won't be a parent. My reaction to the noise is incredibly intense and I pretty much lose all sense of thought past getting away from the noise any way possible. People most of my life be like "nobody likes it get over yourself / you get used to it / it's worth it". No Susan you don't understand how badly I'd neglect a child to get away from that noise, it'll create a feedback loop, and I refuse to do that to a kid. Thankfully in my thirties now and people have for the most part finally stopped trying to convince me otherwise

Any noise that I don’t know is an immediate problem for me. If I don’t know what it is and I can hear it, I absolutely have to stop what I’m doing and find out. I can’t convince myself to stop this because it’s actually led me to detecting leaky pipes in my house twice now, right as they broke.

Also the sound of cotton balls rubbing together. Horrendous. And coil whine of electronics, that’s awful too. As is just the sound of electricity in general, like fluorescent lights make an awful noise. I’m gonna stop here before this becomes a novel.

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.

Honestly...the discord notification or my phone vibrating.

When you're busy with something but the crew starts a back and forth in the group chat and it just keeps going off.

There should be a setting that only sends a notification once from the same channel over a set period of time.

I find I simultaneously want them to stfu but also know everything they're saying.

Its not the notification sound mind you. Its the sound of the phone vibrating against whatever its resting on.

Leaf blower

Everything annoys me, notifications, kids making noises, my own kids making noises, the sound of an extractor fan whilst im trying to shit in peace... getting older is mad. Explains all the grumpy old men.

One of the kids at my job managed to tune his whine into a fucking siren. Seriously. He'd ramp up the volume and pitch, ramp back down, and repeat, just like an ambulance.

I can see why he did - it's very good at getting someone's attention. Our practice is to ignore it and prompt functional communication instead, and thankfully it's working as I haven't heard the "ambulance whine" in a while. But wow, it was a truly awful sound. I'll take straight screaming over that noise any day.

Idk, maybe nails on a chalkboard, or someone blowing a raspberry.

Gas station pumps here in ontario have these shreiking beeps, at every step, I fucking hate it so much

it can stil be heard beeping repeatedly as I fucking drive away

And if you hesitate at any step, it will beep repeatedly as if your a stupid cow taking forever to do the simplest task and need to be cattle pronged in the earballs to get your ass moving

Reversing trucks. “For safety”!? I don’t need to hear a truck reversing half a block away on the other side of the road! If you could sell a sound laser for trucks, you’d start a new business.
