Sounds that really bother you |
|
Besides the obvious, (Bush talking,) what sounds really jangle your nerves?
For me, some of the worst:
Little kid screaming in a store. Circular saws. Dentist drills. Billy Mays.

Now, before I get flamed, I like Dolly Parton as a person, but her voice makes my ears ring.

I agree those smackers and slurpers at the table. Try and take smaller bites.

4. FOX "SSSSLUK" and all those other NFL game noises |
|
Ssssssik Juiooong Dinnglling Ssjidnsjisn Grummmmhhh
All those maddening background noises that FOX puts into the audio of their TV broadcasts. It reminds me of a laugh track that's added to jazz-up the entire visual.

10. The "Breaking News" theme used by Globo TV in Brazil |
|
We've been Pavlovianly conditioned to cringe at the sound of that music. It almost always mean some catastrophe just happened. It screams "ominous".
The first time I noticed it was when Ayrton Senna died.
