Top 10 Crazy Insane Noises

I am really delighted to bring you this excellent guest post from the esteemed blogger Christina Kingston.

1. Your Name Shouted in a Crowded Room


Normally we’re comfortable hearing a person say our name. Hearing our names makes us feel noticed, helps us to better engage. When our name is shouted out amidst a group of strangers it’s cringe-worthy!
“Hold it down! We’re right here!”

.


2. A Drunkard’s Babble


Boozehounds are loud, obnoxious and annoying. They can easily hurt the ears with their slurred words and random expletives. They are the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
“OMG take it to rehab!”
.

3. The Home Alone Doggy


Why do they abandon that sweet puppy all day long? It’s unnerving and sad. Every time the animal howls, an angel weeps. Every time it barks to let us know that it’s lonely and needs love, somewhere in the world, the rains begin.
“Pet your pooch!”

.
.
.

4. Constant Construction


What the hell are they building over there? It would be fine if they pounded the nails when you’re not at home, but the jackhammer jacking around early morning is unacceptable.
“I didn’t sign up for this!”

.


.

5. Cats Doing the Nasty

.
The screeching sound of kitties having sex is probably as bad as a convict on Death Row screaming from his prison cell that he didn’t commit the crime. Cats have spikes on their penises. That may be why it’s not the same kind of lovemaking us humans are used to.
“Hello Kitty, GET A ROOM!”

.


6. Alarm Clock


Sure, we are the ones who set the clock, but the sound is annoying and we don’t want to get up just because we have to. And surely we don’t want a machine telling us what to do. The snooze button gives us back our power, but only for 10 minutes. It’s a constant conundrum of whether to dominate the device or cave in to our daily commitments.
“Hey clock, you’re not the boss of me!

.
.

7. Squeaky Shoes

.
Anyone who has ever gotten an earful of someone’s sweaty feet stepping in shoddy footwear across the linoleum hopefully has an iPod to block it out with. This squeaking is also an earsore for the person who is wearing the offending shoes. No one wants everyone to hear their every step.
“Yo, get new shoes!”

.
.

8. The Dentist’s Drill


Hideous. But hey, you ate crap, didn’t floss so now your teeth are rotting like last week’s fast food forgotten in the back of the fridge. We all have to put up with this scary noise, but my goodness, it sucks!
“We. Must. Floss.”


.
.
.

9. Ice Cream Truck Jingle


Ice cream is so yummy, but this archaic neighborhood delivery system can put us off our sweets. It seems most ice cream trucks only have one song and it’s not a full one, it simply loops a 30 second part over and over constantly and then over again. Crazy! Newbies to this noise often think it’s cozy, homey and charming until they hear it for the 100th time.
“I scream, you scream, we all scream to ban ice cream music!”
.
.

10. Spontaneous Flatulence

When silence is broken by the bothersome ruckus of someone’s bowels, we get upset. Some may find it amusing until the waftrons float past their noses. The worst part of spontaneous flatulence is being startled by something so low brow. If, for instance, Mozart was playing from a passing car we might appreciate getting our art-on for a second. Hearing flatulence, or even a burp, is not like that. It’s more like unexpectedly hearing a pervert unzip his pants or being pointedly tapped on the shoulder by the IRS man.
“Plug it up!”

    Thanks for an entertaining post Tina, I guess I would have to say the sound of those cursed Vuvuzelas have been my most annoying sound recently, spoiled a good football match! Glad they have gone :-)

    Great list Tina!
    “Hello Kitty, Get a room” – love that!
    Another crazy noise to add to your crazy list. Down under, along with the cats, come the possums. They live in your roof and are protected so you can’t kill them. Which leaves them free in the middle of the night to make noises which i can only compare to a bunch of old emphysemic men clearing their throats. They also eat your herbs and plants.
    Grrr.

      Thanks for your comment, you learn something every day, I never knew Possums were protected! Never heard one as we don’t have many in the UK but from your description not in a rush to meet one :-)

    My co-worker, who sits directly behind me (at his desk, not THAT directly behind) has an electric pencil sharpener that sounds EXACTLY like a dentist’s drill.

    Puts my teeth on edge at least once every other day. Just say no to pencils!

    I have a love/hate relationship with the music of the ice cream truck – promising delectable frozen treats, yet taunting me with the same 16 measures of that foolish song until I no longer have the appetite! What do to?

    OUTSTANDING list Tina! I’d add incessant throat-clearing without having something to say, and general phlegmatory-related noises. And very loud talking just to be heard over everyone else at the restaurant, bar – wait a minute, maybe I’m that guy.

    Sex. Screaming, insane sex noises. Preferably in my own bedroom, but I’ll take the next door neighbor’s sex noises for entertainment also.

    Oh, wait. “Annoying noises.” Never mind.

    The noise of a drunken rant is something I know all too well. I also know to never try to shut up a drunk when they’re talking. I tried it once and got a knife pulled on me.

    ->TONY, thanks for inviting me to join your Top 10 party:)
    ->KQ, believe it or not I have a disgusting possum living in my yard and I’ve called Vector, Vermin, Animal control and no luck. It eats all the cat and bunny food. It makes noise. It’s broken pots. But it’s biggest offense is being butt ugly. Luckily those filthy beasts are not protected in America.
    ->DAVE, waftrons is now yours ;)
    ->SLICKRIPTIDE, That penicil sharpener person needs a talking to. Complain to Human Resources. And write Obama about it if they won’t do anything about it!
    ->ELAINE that’s it! 16 measures of pure hell. I guess we have to purchase our ice cream from the corporate grocery stores instead :((
    ->MIKE, great addition, that “throat clearing” is annoying indeed. Sorry to hear you’re one of “those” -heh.
    ->CLEMENT, you noticed that, eh? ;)
    ->JASON X, I want to see your list of most pleasing pleasure-ous noises.Funny stuff man.
    ->ADAM, thank you.
    ->T1theinfamous, knives?! You live on the edge, my friend, the edge!

    The other night I woke up by a terribly noise which sounded like kids being tortured somewhere in the garden of my landlord. Apparently it wasnt kids but a bunch of mating cats. Feck me, I thought – and that’s supposed to be the sound of pleasure? Cats are WEIRD!

    Maybe it’s my fat girl DNA, but I lurves me some ice cream truck music. It’s the creepy pedopihile-looking drivers and kidnap vans that make me ewe.

    The sound of television when you’re watching a show recorded at a perfect level of sound and then a commercial comes on, especially one with music and it literally blasts you off your seat! Same goes for movie scores. Conversation is recorded at “what, WHAT is he saying to her?” And when they come together for the whatever, the music score becomes so loud you know if they made that kind of music together, there would be even more divorce in Hollywood. I did laugh out loud as I agreed with the items your list.
