This isn't a specific sound but it irritates the hell out of me.
Sometimes, when I put a new CD on, the recording volume is so high, that I have to go from my usual volume setting of -8 to -10 db to -25 db or so.
I think they record them that way so they will play loudly on car stereos or cheap radios. Recorded hot in other words, so that a particular song stands out from the rest.
I know they used to do that on vinyl, and it is easily done on CDs.
Another sound is the tractor-pull, blat, blat exhaust from most Harleys. I ride a sport bike, and it has a moderate exhaust volume, except under heavy acceleration. I certainly don't feel the need to keep racing the engine at a stop light. I think it is part of the notice me, I'm so cool, thing.
