There are less of them, but for me its the hum from wonky fluorescent tubes..... Maddening!
Taps dripping.
Engines running whilst stationary.
Loud cars, especially with deep engine noise.
Petrol strimmers/ hedge trimmers.
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
scraping the floor with a chair during classes at school
scraping styrofoam
whistles (like those used by PE teachers)
that one makes me go mad - breathing over my ear
People when they blow on something.....goes right through me
alarms
People whistling
Taps dripping, kids screaming, neighbours constant coughing, dogs licking and cleaning, plenty more. Not sure one is more annoying than the others, all equally infuriating.
My tinnitus - like a dentist's drill.
This noise is one that breaks me! I would argue it is my number one most hated noise.
Anything unexpected! But most annoying are dishes falling over on the draining board.
People sighing. That’s the most annoying, but I do have noises that make me furious too.
