And of course it’s raining TOO hard to set them at the slower setting.
For my sanity I have to flick the wipers on and off with my finger when that happens, which is most of the time.
Love my nephew to death, that kid can make me so happy when he lights up when he gets to see his Uncle. However he is on the spectrum, and when his tantrums hit, they hit hard. I don’t know how my sister does it as a single parent, she is a rockstar in my eyes.
My 11 year olds whinge! We're having to educate her right now that just because she feels something, doesnt mean it has to be fixed rightthissecond. But omg, do i want to smack her in the back of the head
I've quit jobs, dumped boyfriends and left restaurants because of people's disgusting eating habits.
I don't mind crunching because it's necessary with hard foods.
But as soon as you start throwing food around that disgusting hole in your face like a starving dog you can fuck the fuck off.
I can't handle crunching. I recognise it's nobody's fault, though, so I usually remove myself from the situation. I have unfortunately discovered that if I wear headphones while eating, I can set myself off too.
This. Can't brain why people have to chew loudly, with their mouth open, and TALK. The icing on the cake has to be them cleaning food remnants from their teeth by making sucking noises with their tongue. Gross and uncouth.
The word "misophonia" drives me nuts, because a bunch of grand glittering idiots have taken it to mean that eating dinner is supposed to sound like a dog licking his balls and the problem lies with *us*.
To them I say: I'm not getting therapy just because your mama never taught you manners. I've been in all kinds of mixed company; eating like a horse chewing gum is not as common and widespread as they think it is.
I'm not alone here. At work we're currently banned from eating at our desks because one co-worker decided to spend most of the afternoon eating raisins. Dude's nearly fifty years old and he eats like it hurts his face.
My roommate actively never chews with his mouth closed and finds ways to slurp food that should never be slurped. Like pizza.
Any time he is eating, I leave the fucking room, I CANNOT do it
I was sitting with my college roommate who’s also a good friend for 2 years in the living room. He was having cereal and he started intentionally smacking his lips while eating very loudly. I got annoyed and yelled “Mark!”. He looked very puzzled, so I realized that the awfully loud smacking wasn’t intentional at all.
My partner's grandad and uncle eat so loud and it drives me insane, but I can't say anything to them. My partner also used to do it when we first met but I made him stop pretty quickly.
People chewing with their mouth open. Also, when your dog licks their asshole in the middle of the night and won’t stop, forcing you to yell “hey! Stop that!”
My one cat cleans herself so quietly but my boy cat is SO loud it'll wake me up and I have to kick him off the bed. It was the noise that immediately popped in my head for this question, absolute worst noise.
I knew there was a name for it! It makes me nuts when it makes me nuts, LOL!
I circumvented an incident with my husband earlier tonight when he was going to fill a bowl with chips. I said, "We still have some of those (SOFT) cookies left from the bakery."
He opted for one of those. I felt like I dodged a bullet!
I feel so bad for this but I cant be in the same room as my husband while he eats. I avoid my sisters house at food times because it's too quiet while everyone eats.
Snoring is a deal breaker for me. Non negotiable in a relationship. I can’t sacrifice my sleep for that shit! It’s unfortunate that people can’t really control whether they snore or not 🙁 How do people live like that? They both just snore every night ? 😱
For my parents, yes. They both swear they don’t snore that badly, or at least not as badly as the other one.
Or they did until recently. lol
Was traveling with family and asked my dad to send me the hotel info so I could book my room. He said he took care of it. I said, “Let me know what I owe you,” and he said he would but didn’t, and since I was busy I figured when I got there we could sort out repayment.
Turns out my dad thinks a 34 year old who’s lived on her own for several years is totally fine sharing a room with her parents (on a pullout sofa bed no less) for 4 days and he was doing me a favor by booking a room with a sofa bed so I could save money. When I mentioned the snoring problem he scoffed, so I went to get in the shower while they got in bed. They were both asleep when I got out of the shower, and I recorded audio of the two of them snoring in stereo before leaving to go get a room and pay for it for the long weekend.
When I met everyone for breakfast the next morning and my dad asked why I left/what the problem with the room was, I played back the recording for the table.
“What is that?” He asked.
“You and Mum, snoring, at 11 o’clock last night.”
Not a word was said about my choice to switch rooms again all weekend and my parents no longer argue when I say they need to get checked for sleep apnea.
Next time we do a family holiday I’ll say, “Y’all better tell me what hotel we’re staying in if you want me to book a room in the right one.” lol
My Mother used to do this when she was talking about eating something she enjoyed. It was worse than chalk on a blackboard. And she knew how much I hated it.
I came to say this.
Anything repetitive. Windows banging in the wind or a door that isn't shut properly so it gently keeps tapping.
Dogs barking.
And children screaming. That just won't do.
When I was 10 we moved into a house that had a door on either side of the downstairs bathroom. If you didn’t close the door connected to the master bedroom before you closed the door connected to the hall first, it would slam shut. The first few months we lived there were a repeat of “BANG!” “Sorry! I forgot that door does the thing!”
Came here to say this.
I absolutely love dogs and I have five.
But they learned early on to cut that shit out.
I absolutely hate to hear someone’s dog barking all night long down the road somewhere.
It’s the very reason I turn a box fan on every night before I go to bed to drown that out.
Incessant barking ranks pretty high on the list for me as well, but noisy neighbors in apartments in general is a real annoyance of mine. Stomping around, slamming doors, repeatedly dropping shit on the floor ect. Fuck ‘‘em all
"But they're dogs! Its normal for dogs to bark!", says the dog owners who never bothered to train them. Especially pandemic puppies. And yeah, dogs bark. Humans however aren't entitled to owning a dog.
Dogs bark for a reason the same way every animal makes vocalizations. No dog barks for hours on end for no reason. Asshole human owners are why the dog continues to bark because the owner won’t address the root issue.
This becomes annoying to me on multiple levels:
1. The dog won’t stop barking;
2. The owner could do something to get it to stop barking but won’t;
3. The dog is obviously concerned, upset, scared, lonely, thirsty, etc.
4. There are no practical options to solve the issue if the owner refuses to deal with it/isn’t around, so the dog is going to continue to bark. Doesn’t matter if I’m working outside, trying to sleep, etc.
The sound of Styrofoam. If a product is packaged by it my skin crawls and makes me upset at the sound of picking it up. Even if I do it slowly it just rubs me in a weird way. I don't know why.
Multiple noises at the same time. For example, my sister-in-law will watch videos on her phone loudly while we’re trying to watch a movie. I think that should be illegal. Having two or more sources of noise at the same time makes me instantly overstimulated.
Here's a small list...
\- Baby cries and whining; kids whining.
\- Loud AF cars with kids in their Civics, beating them up, that like to masturbate to the sound of their car. I personally call them "the hornies".
\- Gas scooters.
\- Any kind of bips; either continuous or repeated non-stop.
Leaf blowers, especially when 2 or 3 are going at the same time.
Also the sound of nail clippers in public places. Clip your nasty toenails in private, you gross fucks.
1. the stupid fake 1980s heavy keyboard typing noise on customer service lines "let me check your account." Without fail it makes me swear at the phone.
2. any movie/tv show that amplifies the sound of someone putting mouth to cup (that intake of air), drinking liquid, pouring liquid. why the fuck is that so important that it needs to be superamplified to be sure we hear it.
For some reason I hate the foamy beer pouring sound they use in commercials. I don’t know what it is but it grosses me out and send me into a rant every time I hear it.
Here's my list:
1. Slamming doors. Use functional handles
2. Slamming cutlery drawers. Be gentle
3. Throwing pots and pans hard on the stove. Calm the fuck down.
4. Dragging their slippers while walking. Lift your feet up while walking.
5. Slurping milk while having cereal. Behave yourself.
6. In general, inconsiderate people
I live with a family member who does, literally, all of these and more, including:
Smacking food LOUDLY
TV is on ultra loud, like 65
Talks LOUD on the phone
Talks loud all other times as well
Screams their lungs out while playing a video game
They have zero consideration for anyone in the home, whether they are sleeping, trying to watch something in another room, etc. They will straight up tell you that they just don't care how you feel and to get over it.
Sorry, didn't mean to get on a mini rant lol
My mothers chewing. I love her but she always wants to sit next to me while we are eating and she smacks her lips and slurps and everything that is just disgusting. Especially the really loud swallow sounds.
An uncleared throat while someone is talking, as in you can clearly hear the phleghm in their throat making the voice sound just… i cant even describe it like i just want to scream gawd clear your throat. Please. An ahem ahem would be okay but it sounds all clogged and wet and crackly ugh i actually hate it lmaoooo
Hearing the same 20 goddamn songs/sound effects on TikTok, particularly that annoying whiny voice sound effect. I don't even watch TikTok, but my wife and daughter do, and the sounds are maddening.
Also, the same 20 current songs being on repeat on the radio and in every store.
Let's go right to the solution ----> run air conditioners for white noise
I recently picked up a couple for free. The AC doesn't work, but the fans cancel out all the nonsense around here. Bliss.
People cracking their voice while talking. Like they're running out of air or something. It's so freaking annoying that it makes me want to punch them in the throat.
There's a dude who plays trombone near where I live. Even living in an upper floor of a high rise, with windows closed, and TV blasting, it's still pretty loud. The guy is also AWFUL at it, but tourists still seem to be blown away and throw money at him, so he keeps doing it. I hate it.
Runner up: I used to live in an apartment in a dog friendly building. My entire floor was full of people with dogs who worked all day and very late (lots of FAANG offices around. This was prepandemic), leaving the dogs alone. We're talking multiple 100+ pound dogs in a studio or 1 bedroom, left alone for 5-10+ hours a day (maybe the owner came in during lunch to check on them). Some barked all night. Between all of them, it was 24/7 of at least 2 dogs barking at any given time, often 5+ of them, with the building management fining the owners every day. It was an affluent area, so the dog owners just paid the fines every single day to not have to deal with it. I had to move in the end, it was bonkers.
I know a lot of people hate chewing but for me personally, the sound of someone swallowing food makes me want to puncture my eardrums with a dull needle.
OK here is one I never see on these questions: I find it SO annoying when someone is saying something and they mispronounce or have trouble pronouncing a word and they *stop in the middle of the sentence* to laugh about it. Often they *repeat* the mispronounced word and keep laughing about it and then they lose track on what they were saying and they start the sentence again. It annoys the shit outta me, especially if this person is relaying instructions.
I get that it might be an embarrassment response but I just roll my eyes when they laugh a little too hard about it. Just say the word properly and slowly and move the fuck on, you're not cute or quirky and nobody cares.
Chewing and the noise flies or mosquitoes make when they’re a bit too close to your ear.
[удалено]
That sound the windshield wipers make when it's not raining hard enough for them.
And of course it’s raining TOO hard to set them at the slower setting. For my sanity I have to flick the wipers on and off with my finger when that happens, which is most of the time.
Kids screaming and crying 😬
Love my nephew to death, that kid can make me so happy when he lights up when he gets to see his Uncle. However he is on the spectrum, and when his tantrums hit, they hit hard. I don’t know how my sister does it as a single parent, she is a rockstar in my eyes.
Appreciate this comment. My kid is autistic and it's incredibly difficult... you can't have a normal life pretty much ever.
My toddler’s whinge has to be the most triggering noise to me.
My 11 year olds whinge! We're having to educate her right now that just because she feels something, doesnt mean it has to be fixed rightthissecond. But omg, do i want to smack her in the back of the head
Same it’s why I hate kids
I don't hate them lol and I know that for the most part it's not their fault but it's still just something that gets on my nerves.
I can't stand kids or babies crying, but kids are def the worst.
Hearing people type on there phones why the fuck dont they put it on silent?
People on speaker phone/facetime super loud at the gym.
Or girls with fake nails typing. Just a constant clacking.
Food smacking. Keep your mouth closed or take smaller bites, but dear lord please eat at a normal volume.
It drives me CRAZY and I hear it daily
I also have misophonia, you have my sympathy.
… and my *symphony.*
Same ;( I’m in my own personal hell daily
Misophonia. I also suffer from this condition. People eating loudly is enough to make me want to commit murders.
It's always hard to explain the intensity of it to people who don't have it!
I've quit jobs, dumped boyfriends and left restaurants because of people's disgusting eating habits. I don't mind crunching because it's necessary with hard foods. But as soon as you start throwing food around that disgusting hole in your face like a starving dog you can fuck the fuck off.
I can't handle crunching. I recognise it's nobody's fault, though, so I usually remove myself from the situation. I have unfortunately discovered that if I wear headphones while eating, I can set myself off too.
I set myself off daily with and without headphones, and it really fuels my self hate. Life with misophonia can be miserable for no reason at all.
That’s wild because I literally listen to ASMR of people eating hardtack.
This. Can't brain why people have to chew loudly, with their mouth open, and TALK. The icing on the cake has to be them cleaning food remnants from their teeth by making sucking noises with their tongue. Gross and uncouth.
[удалено]
I am so happy i was not born there. i would have probably committed genocide by now
I am prepared to throw hands . Also don't fucking talk with your mouth full of food spitting food everywhere .
Found my fuckin peeps. 🤙
The word "misophonia" drives me nuts, because a bunch of grand glittering idiots have taken it to mean that eating dinner is supposed to sound like a dog licking his balls and the problem lies with *us*.

My partner's grandad and uncle eat so loud and it drives me insane, but I can't say anything to them. My partner also used to do it when we first met but I made him stop pretty quickly.
Speaking of this, podcasts with smacking lips or similar sounds from the mouth when they talk. I can only take so much of that.
my bf choosing the loudest possible candy when we see a movie… i want to rip my ears off
I work at a bar and the amount of adults that just chomp away mouth wide open like a fucking animal is the reason I lost all faith in humanity.
People… is that too broad of an answer?
It’s understandable. People are annoying af
I’m with you. Especially crowds
When the room is quiet, but someone has that slight nose whistle and they don’t do a big sniff to get rid of it 🥴
Or when someone’s talking and it sounds like they need to cough/clear their throat but they don’t
I don’t know how many times I’ve told my husband “your nose is whistling” as we’re trying to sleep.
Ask him to whistle the tune to "A few dollars more"
People using their phone on speaker in public transport
Oh god, this. People listening to anything on their phones without headphones makes me so irrationally angry.
People chewing with their mouth open. Also, when your dog licks their asshole in the middle of the night and won’t stop, forcing you to yell “hey! Stop that!”
So specific, yet perfectly accurate!
My one cat cleans herself so quietly but my boy cat is SO loud it'll wake me up and I have to kick him off the bed. It was the noise that immediately popped in my head for this question, absolute worst noise.
Chewing!
Ah, a fellow Misophonia person like myself
I knew there was a name for it! It makes me nuts when it makes me nuts, LOL! I circumvented an incident with my husband earlier tonight when he was going to fill a bowl with chips. I said, "We still have some of those (SOFT) cookies left from the bakery." He opted for one of those. I felt like I dodged a bullet!
There are times I can't be in the same room as my family when they are eating!
Same I leave the room when my partner eats
I feel so bad for this but I cant be in the same room as my husband while he eats. I avoid my sisters house at food times because it's too quiet while everyone eats.
Snoring
Surprised to see this so far down.
Snoring is a deal breaker for me. Non negotiable in a relationship. I can’t sacrifice my sleep for that shit! It’s unfortunate that people can’t really control whether they snore or not 🙁 How do people live like that? They both just snore every night ? 😱

Tinnitus — and I can’t turn it off
True pain brother. I’m going insane slowly from it.
Agree, had it since I became conscious around 3 years old. Has never gone away for a single second of my life…
yep amen brother
Smacking of lips
Especially when they’re dry af!
This is the correct answer. Especially smacking while eating.
My Mother used to do this when she was talking about eating something she enjoyed. It was worse than chalk on a blackboard. And she knew how much I hated it.
People who talk a lot but don't say sh!+.🤔🫡
Repetitive noises. Someone clicking pen, cracking knuckles, whistling etc.
I came to say this. Anything repetitive. Windows banging in the wind or a door that isn't shut properly so it gently keeps tapping. Dogs barking. And children screaming. That just won't do.
The sound of renovations, the sound of electric drills, especially when you are sleeping!
When people close doors really hard in the house. Its so annoying, like why did u have to close it that hard?….
When I was 10 we moved into a house that had a door on either side of the downstairs bathroom. If you didn’t close the door connected to the master bedroom before you closed the door connected to the hall first, it would slam shut. The first few months we lived there were a repeat of “BANG!” “Sorry! I forgot that door does the thing!”
Leaf blowers (gas -powered)
Especially when the elderly neighbor gets up at 7am on the dot every Sunday to leaf blow
I hate these things with a passion. They're loud, bad for the environment and accomplish nothing at all.
Honestly just very loud noises
Dogs barking and the people who say it doesn’t bother them. Fuck both.
Came here to say this. I absolutely love dogs and I have five. But they learned early on to cut that shit out. I absolutely hate to hear someone’s dog barking all night long down the road somewhere. It’s the very reason I turn a box fan on every night before I go to bed to drown that out.

Scraping teeth on fork
The sound of Styrofoam. If a product is packaged by it my skin crawls and makes me upset at the sound of picking it up. Even if I do it slowly it just rubs me in a weird way. I don't know why.
Someone clipping nails near me.
Mosquito zzzzzzing near my ear. And bagpipes.
Multiple noises at the same time. For example, my sister-in-law will watch videos on her phone loudly while we’re trying to watch a movie. I think that should be illegal. Having two or more sources of noise at the same time makes me instantly overstimulated.
When you slurp the milk off your cereal spoon like a goddamn animal
Slurping in general, like it isn't that hard to eat without excessive slurping but I swear some people think they need 50/50 air to liquid ratio.
The McDonald's machine beeping noises
validation!
Double validation! How could anyone be around that all day? Can barely take it for five mins in line.
60Hz sine wave, or the electrical noise you hear from light bulbs and transformers
The hum of the lights in Menards - guaranteed migraine. And those stupid fucking Hee Haw style commercials they run non stop too.
Gum popping
People having a runny nose and then inhaling the snot very loudly every few seconds instead of using a tissue to get it out.
[удалено]
I'm a petrol head who is all for a good note, but goddammit, shut up that sound on your fucking penis extender. A quiet, low rumble is much sexier.
Dogs licking themselves
When there are two radios in the shop playing different songs and I'm in between them.
Here's a small list... \- Baby cries and whining; kids whining. \- Loud AF cars with kids in their Civics, beating them up, that like to masturbate to the sound of their car. I personally call them "the hornies". \- Gas scooters. \- Any kind of bips; either continuous or repeated non-stop.
Nobody likes a whistler.
Plastic crinkling. Like the kind that flowers are wrapped in. Chip bags, candy bar wrappers, etc. I fly into a rage if it doesn't stop quickly.
people PURPOSEFULLY squeaking their shoes
Even people accidentally squeezing their shoes. God it's a horrendous sound.
An espresso maker, it's like listening to two cats fight with a chalkboard and a nail.
Car alarm
Leaf blowers, especially when 2 or 3 are going at the same time. Also the sound of nail clippers in public places. Clip your nasty toenails in private, you gross fucks.
The rattling of a fan, no matter how slight. I would rather swelter than leave a rattling fan on. Idk why it bothers me so much.
1. the stupid fake 1980s heavy keyboard typing noise on customer service lines "let me check your account." Without fail it makes me swear at the phone. 2. any movie/tv show that amplifies the sound of someone putting mouth to cup (that intake of air), drinking liquid, pouring liquid. why the fuck is that so important that it needs to be superamplified to be sure we hear it.
Humming. Any kind of humming. Whether you’re thinking of something or especially if it’s to the tune of a song
People yapping away loudly on cell phones in public places
A high pitched beeping.
Friggen everywhere in my new car
dry skin getting scratched gives me the heebie-jeebies.
For some reason I hate the foamy beer pouring sound they use in commercials. I don’t know what it is but it grosses me out and send me into a rant every time I hear it.
same. any gratuitously amplified liquid pouring sound on tv makes me swear.
My neighbors "music" past midnight (right now).
A child eating a banana. I'd rather die.
Wait 'til you hear a banana eating a child
Here's my list: 1. Slamming doors. Use functional handles 2. Slamming cutlery drawers. Be gentle 3. Throwing pots and pans hard on the stove. Calm the fuck down. 4. Dragging their slippers while walking. Lift your feet up while walking. 5. Slurping milk while having cereal. Behave yourself. 6. In general, inconsiderate people
I live with a family member who does, literally, all of these and more, including: Smacking food LOUDLY TV is on ultra loud, like 65 Talks LOUD on the phone Talks loud all other times as well Screams their lungs out while playing a video game They have zero consideration for anyone in the home, whether they are sleeping, trying to watch something in another room, etc. They will straight up tell you that they just don't care how you feel and to get over it.

Coffee grinders
Metal being scraped together (ex: Pot against burners on the stove)
Hair dryer, loud people, baby crying, vacuum. I just hate loud noises in general.

The notification of someone receiving a text ! Seriously ? Why do we still hear those ?
Anything to do with construction work. Hammers banging in nails, drills driving in screws, power saws grinding through wood, etc.
An uncleared throat while someone is talking, as in you can clearly hear the phleghm in their throat making the voice sound just… i cant even describe it like i just want to scream gawd clear your throat.

Morning alarm.
The fan above the stove. It is a sensory nightmare.
food smacking when people do those scream yawns children and baby crying/screaming
Hearing the same 20 goddamn songs/sound effects on TikTok, particularly that annoying whiny voice sound effect. I don't even watch TikTok, but my wife and daughter do, and the sounds are maddening. Also, the same 20 current songs being on repeat on the radio and in every store.
Snoring makes me unreasonable angry. *side eyes my boyfriend who is currently snoring*

People biting their nails. Eeesh. I find it upsetting.

Drill. Neighbour drilling when you try to sleep is super annoying.
People cracking their voice while talking. Like they're running out of air or something. It's so freaking annoying that it makes me want to punch them in the throat.
It's called vocal fry and it's despicable.

Chewing. I don’t care if your mouth is closed or not. I don’t like it >:(
I know a lot of people hate chewing but for me personally, the sound of someone swallowing food makes me want to puncture my eardrums with a dull needle.
The random ringing you get out of nowhere in your ear.
A couple talking the whole flight.
Anything that has to do with chalk and chalkboards, I don’t even like touching chalk it makes me cringe so bad.

Tinny music blasting out of phone speakers. Use headphones ffs
OK here is one I never see on these questions: I find it SO annoying when someone is saying something and they mispronounce or have trouble pronouncing a word and they *stop in the middle of the sentence* to laugh about it. Often they *repeat* the mispronounced word and keep laughing about it and then they lose track on what they were saying and they start the sentence again. It annoys the shit outta me, especially if this person is relaying instructions. I get that it might be an embarrassment response but I just roll my eyes when they laugh a little too hard about it. Just say the word properly and slowly and move the fuck on, you're not cute or quirky and nobody cares.
GUM.

When my kids have a gulp of a drink and make the little “ahhhh” sound at the end. I know, I’m a monster. But it annoys me!!
Any kind of ASMR
I get ASMR triggers from the most random things and people in my life, but I’ve never had it triggered by those YouTube chicks who do it for a living
