Brought to you by my fire alarm starting to beep about its low battery late last night.

Smoke alarm chirping and not knowing which one it is so you have to check all of them.

Yes. That was part of the problem. Had to stand in my hallway for 5 mins trying to figure out which it was.

LOL, I must be tired, I hit "post" before I realized I'd basically said the same thing. It was a recent problem for me too and was driving me crazy.

The worst was when I finally realized it was one in my upstairs neighbors' apartment and I had to wait for them to get tired of the chirping and replace it. They held out a long time.

Not a smoke alarm, but had someone in a neighboring dorm not turn their alarm off before leaving. It was one of those old school alarm clocks with the hammer between the two metal bells. Going off for hours. HOURS.

Persistent construction noises that last all day, like multiple roofing hammers and things.

A drip... drip... drip... drip... drip...

The kind of high-pitched electronic whine that you had stopped noticing until it stopped and everything was better... and then it started again.

The loud motion sensor beep that goes off at my work whenever someone uses the stairs to the first floor. I really don't understand why we have it. I'd like to know if someone's walking out the door with pockets full of our stuff, I really don't need to be beeped at because a customer is walking up some stairs.

My dog whining and grumbling when she wants to go out. :(

little kids screaming
gum cracking
nail clippers
that running gag on the later, bad Simpsons epis with characters making that Charles Nelson Reilly "bleugh" noise while pulling at their collar or sticking their hands up like the kid in Spirited Away
Gilbert Gottfried
Richard Simmons
Capt. Janeway

Gilbert Gottfried has an amazing voice.

I don't know why, but I viscerally hate the sound of a hard sweeping brush scraping over the ground. It just makes my teeth itch and my fingers curl.

Also, bluebottles and crane flies. BUZZ SOMEWHERE ELSE.

My boss makes this "wind noise" just to watch me squirm. It's a very low, raspy whistle that I've become so sensitive to I can hear it through my huge headphones. It's part of our low-key conservative boomer v. liberal millennial cold war we have going, so I can't actually complain. XD I do things to deliberately annoy him too. But goooooood it makes me squirm!

car alarm that nobody will turn off

children

A mosquito's high piched whine in your ear when you're trying to sleep--bonus points when mosquitos season should be over, why haven't all the little suckers died of cold yet??

I've never had a low battery on mine, but it's apparently ridiculously sensitive, and the actual alarm will go off randomly for seemingly no reason. It's the loudest, most shrill one I've heard (well, I really only have experience with the ones at my parents' house so I guess that's not saying much) but it's much worse than my parents' and it's almost always late at night when it goes off. So annoying.

Do you have a vacuum? Dust that sucker. Dust will actually set off a smoke alarm.
Also - check if it's past its ten-year age limit, and if it is, replace it (you local fire department might do that for you for free/have a program with the Red Cross to do that for free if you're in the US).

Good luck!

A cat horking up a hairball somewhere in the house at 2am. Thanks! Now i have to try and remember that happened when i get up in the morning and clean it up!!

Chewing. Worst sound ever.

Also, people who aggressively and frequently suck back their snot.

Swivel Sweepers.

They have very specific motor pitch and my mother would use hers every dang day. Sometimes two or three times a day. And I unfortunately had a bedroom at the top of the stairs that funneled downstairs noise into my room.

Try to sleep. Swivel Sweeper.
Get home from work trying to relax. Swivel Sweeper.

It makes my shoulders hunch now, sets off my anxiety.

And she bought me one..... just.. I don't even know what to do with this thing.

low level bass beat going on from some car or house in the neighborhood that's just quit enough that the cops would laugh if you called in a noise complaint. fun fact, earplugs are designed to cut high frequencies while still allowing the low bass frequencies to get through, so putting in earplugs when some douchenozzle down the street is sitting outside his shitty 1996 Cadillac with some rap beat cued to play on repeat for two hours is not a solution.

Babies crying. Or little kids whining and crying because they want a candy bar or toy.

My tinnitus.

And by extension, the nirnroots in Skyrim, which ring at the same pitch, and thus trigger it.
