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.

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.
