Maybe it's the lack of consideration that annoys you more than the noise itself?



Not the parent, but that's the main reason for me. I can tolerate loud noises like thunder, road work, renovation in the building (at reasonable hours, of course) without much of an issue.

However, stuff like

- Modified motorcycle that makes an insane amount of noise for no intelligent reasons

- People playing bassy music that resonate across the walls of the entire building (low frequencies)

- Constant pop music everywhere you go

Are seriously getting on my nerves.


Definitely, should have written it down in my comment rather than describing my experience. This is a huge aspect of what grinds my gears.

But there's also some speech patterns that get on my nerves in public transport and it's not really (at least most of the time) a lack of consideration from the people though (but it happens way less often).


Yeah, that's the part that gets me too - the lack of consideration. I live near a hospital and have zero problem with the near-constant sirens, but people gunning their loud engines at stoplights will cause me to rage.
