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

The sound of a door not fully closed and a draft making it do that light back and forward against the door frame. It drives me insane! Especially since it's not that loud so most people seem to not notice it (and therefore don't fix it).
That, and the high pitched noise when a neighbour is hoovering. It's there when I hoover myself, but it doesn't bother me that much because the loudness of the hoover motor kinda overshadows it. But if someone is hoovering next door (or in a different room) all I hear is that high pitch.
The sound of rain- I get headaches every time, sometimes dogs barking- depends on the volume, scraping of a plate with cutlery, the phone ringing, people having a loud conversation in the street. They’re the ones I can think of right now
Racing motorcycles and loud street parties. I can't simultaneously understand what others are saying to me when this racket happens. It happens numerous times a week, and is obviously intended to be deliberately annoying to people who just want to relax and enjoy what they are hearing., or just sleep. It does create quite an extreme reaction in me. But noise is just a way of life here. That said, it does stress locals out, and they also overreact; sometimes far more violently than myself. I suppose that is because i let out my reaction in very brief outbursts. Locals tend to really bottle it until they really explode. Because there is a lot of high-frequency sound involved, you really notice it on the third floor of an urban street.
Yapping dogs. I've new neighbours and my day is book-ended with yaps when they let their pooch out in the garden first in the morning and last thing at night.
Fabrics like velvet or something similar with a one-way type weft rubbing against another fabric, or worse against the same type of fabric but the "wrong" way like colliding weft directions, I get mad pins and needles in the back of my head and neck from that
(Explains why I was so snappy with people during college studying textiles ha)
Licking noises too, eating noises are annoying but I can deal with those but when people seem to lick more than they chew and are always licking their face and hands between bites also I can't stand it. My nan does it a lot and I get mad just listening to her eat so sloppily and it's a shame because I know she's got false teeth so she can't help it but ugh the noise is too much
Dry hands spreading flour on worktops, I love baking so much but when I watch recipe videos for breads, pizzas etc I have to mute when they knead it, makes my hands go fuzzy and feel dry when they aren't
Same thing with hearing dry hands on anything actually, against desks, other bits of dry skin, clothes and other materials, ESPECIALLY when you can hear bits of flaking skin pulling on fibers aaaaaagh
Oh I thought I was the only person when people open up a bag of crisps or just handling it the noise hurts.
