Can anyone think of noises that really annoy you. I hate rustling crisp packets. It sounds so loud!

Telephones with “old-fashioned” ringing sounds, set to anything at normal volume or above, drive me crazy.
It’s not just the actual sound of the phone that bothers me, it’s the certain knowledge that unless someone picks up the call, there is going to be another ringing noise in approximately two seconds, and that the cycle will continue until the ringing is finished.
The absolute worst for this are classroom telephones on teachers’ desks and iPhones whose owners select to the “classic” ringtone option, at least here in North America.
Aargh!

Alarms are so bad for getting this feeling also! Especially when it's someone else's alarm and it just gets snoozed forever more
