There are less of them, but for me its the hum from wonky fluorescent tubes..... Maddening!
Leaf blower
Car/Home alarms unnecessarily going off
a loading door "alert"
Electric Car/Lorry in reverse
Appliance finishing or plug being turned on
Smoke alarm battery dying... in the next door flat and they're on holiday
I can relate to the smoke alarm battery dying because before I recently moved house my next door neighbours disappeared for 2-3 months (at 1st I thought they had moved out) and their smoke alarm battery started to die, they came back to the house for 2 weeks then disappeared again for another month then came back for a day or 2 then went away again and all this time they never bothered either changing the battery or taking the battery out of the smoke alarm or replacing the whole unit if the battery could not be removed (some smoke alarms the battery cannot be removed) But the smoke alarm just seemed to never shut up and it was driving me crazy. I was surprised it lasted all that time (I'm not sure how long they beep before completely dying)
