I whistle/hum when i'm in a high stress situation and I need to be focused, calm, and collective; which is generally everyday i work.

I sorta understand that... but do your peers a favor and buy a portable MP3 player or something so you can listen to soothing music :)

The thing that annoys me is when someone's just walking around whistling or humming... or they hear a song on TV and whistle along to it, and continue to whistle the song 10 minutes after it's over, and of course not even coming close to hitting the correct notes.

I always hum a nice tune before I kill people. Settles my nerves a bit...

You should hum the music from BF1942 when a map is loading =)

I could never use an MP3 player on my job during the stressful times(Ambulance Dept). But i understand it can be annoying in just casual humming.
