Really any machine that beeps or alarms, especially for nonsense like your dryer announcing it’s finished. I’m an ER nurse and the alarm fatigue and overstimulation are for real 😣.

Music being played in the distance that I can’t hear fully just the base and droaning or vibrations invokes an anger in me that I don’t understand why.

Like they have no consideration of other people around that will hear their voice. Its annoying for me.

Harley bikes. Noisy for no reason except to be noisy s***s. Actually makes the bikes less fuel efficient and makes the people they own them in the same crowd as lifted truck rednecks. .

It leaks over to YT. Pisses my labia to bits.

Cotton eye Joe. It aggravated me just thinking about it when I saw this question. It’s not even just that it’s a stupid song it literally messes with my fight or flight like someone’s trying to start a fight with me.

Talky breathy ASMR videos. I really got into them during covid when I was feeling people-starved , but now they’re just annoying
The only thing I can compare it to is years ago when I was pregnant and CRAVED smoked mackerel on toast; after baby was born, someone lovingly presented me with a plate of smoked mackerel on toast and I was all like, what fresh hell is this?? It no longer made sense.

Country music. If driveway gravel could sing, that’s what it would sound like. All pieces just about the same size, the same color the same shape, unremarkable and comparable to a ream of blank paper.
