There are less of them, but for me its the hum from wonky fluorescent tubes..... Maddening!
My doorbell. It has a horrible sound and always makes me jump out of my skin!
Text tones and ringtone.
Yeah. I feel like I want to throw it out of the window and enjoy how the sound fades away as it gets further. Yeah, no kids here either
Eating sounds of others ugh
Messenger ringtone, I was enjoying a game of Minecraft and I can hear Messenger ringtones through my Bluetooth hearing aids and urgh, someone wanna call!
Multiple people all talking simultaneously, with bonus points if they are oblivious to the fact they they have incrementally began to practically shout over eachother.
Alarm clocks at six in the morning.

The instinct isn't about justice, it's about getting the noise to stop quickly and for good.
Squeaky doors or shoes!
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)

Anything that isn't a meaningful conversation, sounds of nature (waterfall, leaves, birds, ext..), and good music. The rest better be silence. I'd handle bit more sounds coming from people or animals that I love but still very limited sounds that they can make :D
Dogs constantly barking, scraping chairs, squeaky doors and large supermarket stock cages to name a few without making my answer too long.
Doorbell, phone ringing and humming from electrics.
Lots of people talking in a confined space. I literally cannot stand it - it makes me feel physical pain.
My noisy neighbour's high-pitched laugh.
The noisy neighbour on the other side's laugh which sounds like a clogged drain.
The muffled voices of my noisy neighbour shouting on the other side of the wall.
The very loud tuba sound which vibrates the floor and walls that my neighbour's boiler makes whenever she turns the hot tap on.
The sound of other people eating and chewing.
The high pitched whine of my tinnitus.
Basically any unwanted sound is annoying, especially if I can't get away from it. It's so distracting and overwhelms my senses so that I can't concentrate on anything else.
People talking with food in their mouths, eating with mouth open, slapping their lips with their tongue and chewing gum.
Other people eating
red/blue interchanging lights hurts my eyes, and if I'm closer than 5m they cause dizziness, to the point of losing balance
blinking red alone is even worse
I forgot to add: when a siren goes passed (emergency services) it's so I'm sanely loud. I often think that NT people have no idea the pain they cause noise sensitive people!! It genuinely hurts my ears everytime
