What one household noise annoys you the most?

[vivfox]

Whenever I open the refridgerator and the motor comes on I always get annoyed. Or if I'm sitting in the next room watching TV and the fridge motor comes on, well that annoys me too.
How about you? What household sound annoys you?

The microwave when it finishes. I always run to open it before it beeps.

[GODDESS6]

when people don't shut off the faucet & i can hear drip, drip, drip~

[jr2280]

The phone ringing or the toilet running

Ditto to what Janet said about the microwave, mine is a cheapie from Target and it makes an exceptionally loud beep.

Also-

the shriek of a whistling teapot

the sound a glass makes when you put it in the kitchen sink and there is either sand or scouring powder residue in there. (shudder)

a blender (after 60 years of making blenders, they can't make a quiet one??)

the loud noise of the exhaust hood over the stove while you are frying

the ear-splitting crackle of a potatoe chip bag being molested at 3:00 am while everyone is tryng to sleep

the dog scratching scratching or licking at 3:00 am and making their ID and vaccination tags jingle

someone other than yourself making loud pooping noises in the bathroom

[Musicman408]

The sound of clingy silverwear!!!

That annoying music you get when windows XP starts up, especially annoying if I didn't turn the speakers down from blasting out some music the day before...

Our vacuum. It must be the loudest in the world.

[Macfanforever]

telephone. it alway rings at bad times also bad news coming from the other end.noisy neigbors above me. they talk loud,walk loud.and play their crap music loud.

[Zombie]

The standard alarm clock beep-beep-beep sound.

I hate it so bad that if I even hear it on TV when I am wide awake, I am instantly pissed off like it woke me up or something. Hates it forever.

Oh this is just me all over.
Especially happens late at night when I've just put my little girl to bed and then go to the laptop and BAMMMM.. shes up like a shot..

Hate hate hate the sound of the radio and tv going at the same time. Goes straight through my head! grrr..

Also cannot stand the sound of people brushing their teeth. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for oral hygiene, I just dont want to hear it..:P

that cracked me up. They are so damn loud when you're trying to be quiet, like in class or a meeting or movie or something!

Not crazy about the dryer BUZZZZZ.

These are funny and are making me laugh. The potato chip one is particularly funny.

This isn't really a household noise, well I guess it is- but, I hate the sound of a TV playing when I'm trying to sleep. Even if it's in another room- I hate it.

Knocks to the front door after dark...Obviously!

Otherwise just the sound of stuff being broken by the C.A.T. organization ("Cats Are Terrorists") at night is the #2 on my list
