Can anyone think of noises that really annoy you. I hate rustling crisp packets. It sounds so loud!
For me, the radio and tv on at the same time. People chewing, busy pubs when voices are overlapping each other. The worst is whistling, it just drives me crazy.
Whistling is right up there as the very worst for me too. It's shrill anyway, but it often has a forced jolliness to it that feels intrusive.
There was a wonderful Doctor Who story -Human Nature/The Family of Blood- where the beautiful music score nearly got ruined by the inclusion of a professional whistler. Fortunately Russell T. Davies stepped in and forbade it. He deserves a medal for that alone!
