Title: Sounds that are cringe worthy
Post by: Chibi_Lilly on January 27, 2012, 16:29
What are some sounds that you absolutely cannot stand to listen to?

For me it's the sound of a blaring alarm clock and a phone that is ringing off the hook ~_~.  I hate having to wake up to an alarm, especially mine!  It scares the crap out of me.  Ok yes of course the easy fix to this would be to buy a new alarm but my clock has sentimental value and I refuse to part with it until it breaks.  But I still hate the sound of any alarm clock so I don't really think my hatred for this sound will be dulled just by buying a new clock.

And as for the ringing phone....answer it all ready!!!! >.<

Wow, LillyMace, I love my alarm ringtone. XD Because I use my phone as my alarm, I set the ringtone to all the nice songs I like. XD But that has drawbacks, I wouldn't really wake up after my alarm sounds. It's not annoying enough to wake me up!

And I absolutely can't stand screeching sounds. No matter it's someone screaming/screeching, or when cars jam their breaks followed by the screeching of the tyres... Need I mention scratching the chalk on chalkboard? They are all pretty horrible. >o< I get shivers down my spine.

Unoiled brakes, a fork scraping across a china plate, chains jangling, certain songs with the bass cranked up and whistling teakettles left on the burner for too long.

You sure it's just the sound and not the fact that it's a drill heading for your mouth?

No, no. I cringe when it's headed for someone else's mouth, too.
