Are there sound effects that make you cringe? Scratching a fork on the plate produces torturesome noise. It's the same with the sound where chalk runs across the blackboard. Are there worst sounds than these?

It's only a gripe. But sounds in the vacuum of outer space. Rockets firing, explosions. There ain't no air there to transfer kinetic energy. I'm sure it's done only because of expectation. Only movie I can think got it right was Kubrick's 2001.

I hate to hear dogs barking, babies crying, or anything scraping against glass. I don't know why, but those sounds set my teeth on edge.

It's not because of poor quality, but I'm not fond of hearing the sound effects of children or babies laughing. I find it creepy, and it stays with me that I end up imagining it after a movie. Sometimes, they're not even realistic and don't have that human touch to them.

I hate those sounds too. The fork on a plate thing makes me tense up every single time. Same with the chalk on the blackboard. I can feel it in my teeth.

For me the worst one is when someone scrapes a metal spatula on a non-stick pan. That high squeaky noise drives me nuts. Or when the mic cable gets stepped on and you get that sudden crackle during a session. I always jump when that happens.

I also can't stand the sound of styrofoam rubbing together. It makes my skin crawl. Have you got any others that get to you like that?
