I spend a lot of time travelling on trains in the course of my work and there are two sounds that drive me nuts, to the extent that I’ll go and find myself another seat if that’s possible and, if it’s not, I’ll just grit my teeth in anguish! The first is the sound of people typing on their laptops, the rattling keystroke sounds make me want to scream! Second is the sound of people whispering to one-another. You get this in museums and galleries too. Just speak normally people, there’s no need to whisper, I can hear you anyway.
Obviously, the tick tick sound of IPhone ear buds or Air Pods is also infuriating, but I imagine that’s the case for most people!
A sound I hate is the very loud and annoying hoover. I also get tinnitus and this is unbearable for me.
Also don't like humming or the loud Hissssss buses make. *shudders*
Bees, wasps, bluebottles. The noise is terrifying (as is proximity to any of them, especially indoors), I'm on hyper-alert as I hear it get distant and then rapidly loud again. It might as well be a shark the amount my heartrate goes up.
I can relate.
I can relate to that because I too cannot stand buzzing sound from bees, wasps and flies. It is not to bad when they at the other side of the room but its when they fly right next to my ears that it really infuriates and creeps me out.
