What sounds put your teeth on edge? My daughter was using a pencil to erase something, but the eraser was worn down so the metal edges scraped the paper. Ugh!

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.

How about people who insist on popping those bubble rap sheets.
Makes you want to suffocate them. LOL.

OK, hear is one that makes me flinch, literally. A hard beatle or other insect hitting my face shield when I'm doing about 160 or so on my bike.
It sounds like a gunshot, and will actually leave a deep scratch (along with but guts) on the plastic. Oh well, at least they are DEAD bug guts!

Get a T-Shirt!
I get great pleasure in popping bubble wrap; there's something so satisfying about that.
Kind of like when my music is loud I'm happy. If I'm trying to sleep and I hear someone else...LOL
