You know what sound I hate?

[MagnusTheBrewer]

The "styrofoam" breaking sound you get when walking on a hard snow crust.

 

[dawp]

Whiny ass people complaining about sounds they hate.

 

[Terabyte]

The tick-tock of an analog clock when I'm trying to sleep.

This... particularly Styrofoam touching Styrofoam. *shudders*

Sawing of a nail file or emry board. Arrggh. That is the worst.

AHHH yes, I think that's right up there with nails on a chalkboard..

The sound of someone peeing directly into the water in the toilet bowl, especially first thing in the morning. If I can hear you peeing from the other side of a wall then you're doing it too loudly.

Styrofoam rubbing together

My cat puking in the middle of the night..because it has to be cleaned up and hopefully I don't step in it at some point.

Any sound hitting saturation. In other words I hate loud square waves...

 

[SlitheryDee]

The sound of an 18-wheeler "jake-braking".
Loud children crying. Sniffling and quiet whining is ok.
Loud music in an inappropriate environment.
Loud thunder cracks.
Most other loud, sudden noises.
Any idle noise people make when they are bored. Finger tapping, humming, toe tapping, idle chatter, etc.

alarm clocks (especially the kind that screech at you)
the old school touch tone phone in my basement that has a bell in it
the electric air cleaner in my furnace

I love that sound.

I'll add one... I hate hearing phones that don't sound like phones. Part of it is that I've always been hard of hearing and musical tones of any kind tend to get lost in the background noise easier even if they can match the volume of a good, pure, classic, unmistakable, ring. The closest I can find on my iPhone is "Old Phone" and I even have trouble hearing that sometimes. It's funny hearing the EXACT same ring on TV/radio and in movies all the time.

Oh! And I'll add another: The sound of Baby Mario crying in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. It has the intended effect on the player though... "Get that damn baby back NOW [so you can shut him up/prevent dying]"

1. I have one on my phone that sounds like a top-secret military installation. It works well, so I use it. It, too, comes from some Hollywood sound library and I frequently hear it elsewhere.
2. My old-school rotary phones had bells in them too. It's funny, calling a plain-jane TT phone "old school" until I remember that we mostly use cellphones these days and cordless home phones are usually operated in the same way (deferred dialing).
3. I wouldn't know.

How could you possibly love that sound? It's extremely loud and unpleasant IMO.
