One thing that I always have to take into account when objecting to noise around me........others who are hard of hearing. Two of my neighbors across the hall get together for coffee and they are both hard of hearing so I can hear every word they say. As for bf, he is completely deaf in one ear so everything has to be turned up for him. When he is here watching television I turn it up as loud as it will go. I have to put up with it and I do.

When I used to visit my mother in her apartment in assisted living, the woman across the hall had her TV blaring. I could hear it loud and clear through her closed door. I wanted to go in and tell her to turn it down, but I simply closed my mother's door.

When my mother passed away, we were cleaning out her apartment and the woman came to our door. She asked if my mother was moving. I told her she passed away, but she had no idea what I was saying. I had to get close to her and yell it because she was deaf. I felt so sorry for her, but I was also imagining everyone in that hallway hearing me yelling "SHE PASSED AWAY".
 
Contemporary pop music and contemporary country music are noises that drive me crazy. For some strange reason, the King Sooper's where I buy my groceries plays pop music really loud in their drugs section and it's so annoying to me that I can't think straight and sometimes I forget what I'm looking for. I just want to get out of there. Sometimes I put my fingers in my ears so I can concentrate.

Yes, that is how the lady across the hall is. When we talk, I let her talk and don't say too much I have a quiet voice and even when I yell nobody seems to hear me, though my pets always did.
 
"lawn care folks who "attack at dawn"

I was one of those. But when you have 30 yards to mow a week & some are very big, over 15 acres, you have to start early as I cut six lawns a day. Then if it rained, I had to double up on some days. Most people I mowed for were widows or senior people that couldn't do it themselves. I kept good mufflers on mine so not too much noise.
 
The man across the road is a fencing contractor and owns two tractors as well as his car. Most mornings he has to shuffle his car and whichever tractor he needs that day out of his drive and on to the road. I swear that he leaves his tractor engine running until a hole opens up in the ozone layer above his house.
 
Leaf blowers. Every Wednesday. And most music that kids listen to nowadays is just unpleasant noise to me.

I love my dog but she has the worst bark in the world -- a horrible squawking yelp.

Otherwise, things are ok.

Unfortunately crying babies really upset me.
If a crying baby happens to be in a movie scene I turn the volume down.
Crows cawing outside my window early in the morning.
I will get up a shoo them away.
A Helicopter hovering overhead.
They drown out all other sounds.

C'mon Bretrick, tell us what you did to bring those helicopters to your house....

Any repetitive sound. I am very sensitive to all noise.
I hate wind chimes, and someday I am going to murder the kid next door who has the basket hoop. The constant tapping of his ball on the driveway and then banging it against the back of the hoop is driving me crazy.

Ruth n Jersey, while you're murdering the basketball kid, swing by Northeast PA, and get my neighbor, and her 10+ windchimes. I'm fed up listening to "God's music". I'd go for some "Devil's quiet".
 
Commercials that are twice as loud as what you're watching. I guess subscribing to YouTube TV would eliminate that problem by eliminating the commercials. It might be worth it. :unsure:
