The sound of my microwave.. why does it have to bleep 3 times.. then reminders after that? On the other hand I do quite enjoy the little cute 1 ding on my airfryer. It lets me know my fried delights r done with no extra hassles .

ohhhh so many many noises...except my own loud music haha. Hate people coughing and sneezing these day- not sure why??? Hate hearing my dog swallowing noisily in the night, or noisily licking nethers eww. Hate hate noisy boy racers revving down our street late at night and doing wheelies at the roundabouts. Though i would probably be one of them if i was young and a lad. And there's more...HATE the sounds of those Gunshot firecrackers that people let off..that freak us and our animals out. Hubby hates the sound of his neighbour howling..yes howling. And the guy who power saws bits of wood for hours in the nearby workshop. He turned up on a sunday once to cut wood- until a certain man in tank chair zoomed over and gesticulated at him to F.O.

I don't get annoyed with sounds as much as others, unless I have a headache. Otherwise anything goes. It's weird - my partner will point out a noise that's really annoying him but it doesn't bother me at all. The other day I was shopping and there was a kid making noises in the store where one of the counter girls said "Soo annoying!" about the kid. Anyway it didn't occur to me that it was annoying, just thought it was a typical kid making typical kid sounds and I just was happily shopping lol.

Pat C 618241
We've got a young couple next door who are "renovating" a house which I estimate at about 110+ years old. He's been doing it all through lockdown and still it progresses - now we're back to work but often at odd hours of the night and early morning there are all manner of power tools to be heard. Meanwhile, the rest of the property is sending vast overgrowth of bushes, hedges even trees growing out into the street. We are still hoping he might stop after New Year! By the way, I hope it's not your fellow with the angle grinder?? Happy New Year Liane H.

  HI Pat , yes nothing worse than ongoing clanking and power tools noises ,but ooh that angle grinder is like a drill bit at the dentist ..goes right through my eardrums I can tell u! And no not my fellow! if it was he would be dead by now :/ .. luckily long gone .. Hoping your neighbour packs it in soon enough too and wishing you a joyous and prosperous Happy New Yeaar! :)

	Wired for sound..what sounds drive u up the wall?
	Liane H	30-Dec-22 12:56 pm
	I recently was chatting with my neighbours about one in particular who as I write this is merrily out the front of my windows with his little man power tool collection ,including my all time favourite the angle grinder. I have slammed my windows shut twice now but he does not pick up on the fact I may be slightly irritated having ringing ears.. Funny tho ,I can listen to music on loud all day long but he is the first to complain if there's a party next door as they actually have mega speakers. Which oddly doesn't bother me. What noises drive u nuts? Partner rustling the newspaper? Loud car mufflers ?
