The backdoor neighbor’s dogs that they put out to bark at about 6am and then don’t let them back in until about 7. I can tell you for sure barking dogs do not get hoarse after an hour of doing that non-stop.
@heartny I just had two cavities popped out and re-filled yesterday (they were old ones from my youth that were starting to fail). I refuse numbing medicine too… so not only do I hear & smell it, I feel it too
@heartny@Kyeh@mbersiam The old bits used with the belt-driven drills of long ago could be excruciating, but the ultrasharp ones used with the high-speed air-driven modern handpieces generate far less heat and vibration, and they slice rather than abrade; I can actually tolerate most drilling without the Novocaine now.
Actually the other one is my daughter calling when the first words out of her mouth are, “What are you doing?”. That is what always prefaces something she wants me to do right now, typically involving driving the 45 miles to her house and may or may not also involve requests for money to spend on wants for herself and not needs.
@blaineg@Kyeh@mehcuda67 Ahh, memories…nobody played crazy like Karen Black! I was a sucker for stuff like that when i was a kid, but I had forgotten about that one until i saw the doll’s face, then it all came back. I must say, though, as an adult, the scariest thing about that segment is the kitchen wallpaper!
@00 wait until it progresses to add the low pitch rumble, like someone not very near but not very far is running a generator. Except you hear it every where you go. In addition to the high-pitched EEEEEE.
Actually, my high pitch noise is more like high-pass filtered white noise than an actual tone, so maybe one of these can supply something to cancel or at least compliment it.
@rtjhnstn@shahnm@werehatrack That would the one in our master bedroom, mounted near the peak of the vaulted ceiling. It can only be reached with the extension ladder (which is stored out in the barn). And in almost 24 years here, the battery has never failed during daylight hours, only in the middle of the night.
I actually heard a semi-reasonable explanation for smoke detectors tending to chirp during sleep hours: The room temperature is usually cooler at night, causing a drop in voltage of a marginal battery and the low battery chirp. Or maybe it’s just evil spirits taking their perverse pleasure…
@StellaIsSmart I do too, and chewing sounds, especially gum snapping, make me miserable. Someone biting into an apple near me is my idea of hell. I wouldn’t wish misophonia on anyone.
Mouth noises. All of the wet mouth noises. Lip smacking. Kissing. Licking. Chewing with your mouth open. These sounds all trigger an irrational RAGE in me.
I admit I have a very mild case of misophonia, and many of my coping mechanisms is to drowned out noises with my own. As a drummer, I drum or tap on desks, tables, anything really. I sing, hum, whistle or listen to loud music through out the day. I’m basically hell to share an office with.
@xenophod I can’t stand mouth noises either… and my husband is a loud eater. My teenager is the same as me and she can’t sit at the table with him while he eats. She starts gagging when she hears him. I think I need to turn on dinner music or something when we have dinner.
I can’t stand sirens of any kind or anything that’s just persistent and of unknown origin. Weird rattling noise coming from somewhere in my car, strange bumps in the night, an alarm going off somewhere in my house when I can’t find it, yeah, those are the ones that get me.
Wet mouth sounds, especially people smacking their food. The sound of someone stirring a bound salad. Also the Foley from any gory movie. Just, wet noises are gross to me.
Morning alarm clock…
There’s some annoying buzzing sound that I always hear when I finally get comfy with a snack on the couch.
Baby screamcrying.
Any advice that comes from the CDC.

@Kidsandliz Only an hour?
Dental drill
@heartny Is it safe?
@heartny I just had two cavities popped out and re-filled yesterday (they were old ones from my youth that were starting to fail). I refuse numbing medicine too… so not only do I hear & smell it, I feel it too
@heartny @mbersiam
How???
@heartny @Kyeh i think i have a high pain tolerance. I mean it’s not pleasant, but it isn’t excruciating either.
@heartny @mbersiam I’m going to the dentist tomorrow. I’m taking the Novocain if there’s any drilling involved!
@heartny @mbersiam Don’t be a hero, @Kyeh, demand the happy gas!

Scratching in the walls at night.
@hchavers How about the ceiling?
We had a racoon living up there for a while. Coons are no longer as cute as they used to be.
@blaineg a bandit in the night.
@blaineg
Ceiling noises for me were squirrels. Not only annoying but expensive to remedy!
@blaineg @Kyeh Scratching noises under the bed - getting closer and closer.
@blaineg @Kyeh @mehcuda67
@ircon96 @Kyeh @mehcuda67 Starts at 45:55, if the link doesn’t get it right.

My ears have been ringing for the past year or so. High pitched EEEEEEEEEEE. All the time. I wish this on my enemies!

@stolicat okay. Today’s the day that I call the Dr! I probably shouldn’t have waited so long.
@00 Mine progresses through a random sequence of high-pitched tones at times, not quite musical but very distracting.
Sirens in front of your house…or behind your car…
or an out of tune orchestra/band.
@Tadlem43 Sirens are just background noise after living a block away from the firestation for 25 years.
They are pretty good neighbors though, and roll out with lights only at night.
The screamin’ tires, the bustin’ glass
The painful scream, that I heard last
@2many2no Where, oh, where can my baby be???
@2many2no @zinimusprime And of course, the spoof.
The chirping of a smoke alarm with a battery that needs to be replaced.
@rtjhnstn At 2am, inevitably…
@rtjhnstn @shahnm And it’s the one over the stairs, that no one can reach without a ladder.
@rtjhnstn @shahnm @werehatrack That would the one in our master bedroom, mounted near the peak of the vaulted ceiling. It can only be reached with the extension ladder (which is stored out in the barn). And in almost 24 years here, the battery has never failed during daylight hours, only in the middle of the night.

@macromeh @rtjhnstn @werehatrack I’m pretty certain it’s the latter explanation.
The construction people working at some absurdly early hour in the morning
Metal on teeth.
I hate how many people scrape their teeth with forks and spoons.
Remind me of a co-worker that couldn’t stand the sound of stirring macaroni and cheese. I did my best to emulate it occasionally around him.
I have misophonia which is having very strong reactions to certain sounds and my trigger is the sound of people swallowing.

@mbersiam @xenophod Hmmm, I wonder if that was the origin of dinner music.

Styrofoam!
When anyone unboxes something, I’m like, noooo wait, I gotta get outa here.
That Hurk, Hurk, Hurk sound that immediately precedes the cat vomiting on the bed.
Chewing. That’s all
“Starting” a running engine.
Grinding gears.
Squealing brakes.
Unmuffled engines.
The “nails on a chalkboard” thing never bothered me - I sometimes would torment my classmates by doing it. (Yeah, I was real popular…
)
Clatter from downstairs shortly after my four-year-old made his way down there.
Mom always said she was fine with the noise in the house. It was when we got quiet that she worried.

@Kyeh somewhere, maybe it was WalMart
The brief “hmmmm” from the frozen motor of an appliance just before the breaker trips.
