What type of noise

What type of noise can you just not stand?

Small children screaming in restaurants.

The noise of the boy riding his dirt bike outside.

Slurping/chewing/lip smacking sounds when people eat.

I think the older I get, the more that this bothers me too!! My husband grunts when he eats sometimes. I think he does it more to annoy me though.

What I call "boombox cars" Those with their windows open and the volume and bass turned as high as they can go.

My wife likewise, which means I have to go in another room to work much on the computer. My wife also can't stand mouse clicks. Do they make silent keyboards and mice?

You can get Bluetooth keyboards that essentially project a light image onto whatever surface you care to use. There will always be some noise but not necessarily the clicking of a regular keyboard.

I'll second this, but the only time I can remember it bothering me was when I was married. Further, if she was making noise of the carrot-crunch variety, that's not something that would have made me cringe. It was more the lip smacking that occurred eating the most disgusting, fatty meat and dairy type products....and I wasn't even a vegan at the time.

I have a cat, and she is loved dearly, but one thing I won't tolerate (for long) is the cat-rage/screaming that sometimes occurs when there is another cat outside the window that is perceived to be a threat. It's enough to get me up from whatever state of sleep/resting I am at and make enough noise of my own to get the other cat to leave and mine to quiet down.

Where I lived some time ago there were feral cats to beat the band. They were CONSTANTLY at it. I typically had my windows open and, sure enough, about 4 a.m. they'd go at it.
There was another resident at out apartment complex who was insistent that they be fed, so she always had food out for them. Grrrr...
My cat now is pretty mellow. He was an adoption and was around other cats enough that if a stray comes around he really doesn't care. You'd better believe that the stray leaves darn quick if I see it, though
