Does noise annoy you ?

[georgegeorgia]

When I was younger I loved loud music !

Going to pub events , Rock concerts etc 

Listening to 1980's music at loud volumes my motto was... IF it's too LOUD your TOO OLD ! 

 

but fast forward now I'm old I found out I'm getting old when I got into a Philippines flight in economy last year short flight Bangkok to Manila only to have half the plane of young Filipinos instead of wearing headphones watched their YouTube on their phones loudly ,I thought why is this bothering me so put on headphones but that was the start 

 

Even that week in Pattaya screeching ladyboys working in that pharmacy in Tukcom annoyed me ,as I'm standing there right next to me He/she started screeching.....right in my ear to the other ladyboy 

 

I can't do the screech ,can anyone do it ? It's like a low pitched screech 

 

then I noticed a farang on his motorbike at the traffic lights in Jomtien , he revved it up so it backfired and looked around to see if everyone is looking at him ,he was wearing a nazi type motor bike helmet as he revved it up loud 

 

Noise is starting to irritate me , is this normal as we age ?

Thats  called being  selfish <deleted> which that generation now are whilst  bleating about being misgendered, theyre just a bunch of narcissists these  days, needs a  good  war to show them what lifes  really  about and how meaningless the drivel they think important really isnt.

Thai's that play YouTube etc on their phones on loud are very annoying.

 

Loud talkers are the worse though

Very true , I also noticed a lot of younger generation and I'm not knocking young people because I like most of them , but I noticed a lot block footpaths especially in the Philippines standing in groups talking which forced me to walk on the road in Manila ,so I decided to JOIN THEM,just stand in their group with them 

I did that in Australia last weekend walking down a footpath to see a Church group standing no one moving to let me through so I just stood with them in the group smiling 

They soon realised

Forum noise, like the OP, does sometimes.

[georgegeorgia]

Let's face it some people don't know their loud or the effects on people around them 

 

Now I just wear my head phones even in Thailand, screaming ladyboys screeching , motor bikes being revved up , etc 

[sirineou]

Thailand is the wrong country for anyone who doesn't like loud noise . 

I especially love roosters!! Nothing soothes my nerves more,   a loud  shrill ,rooster  , screaming its Cacadodlou doos every 10 seconds all day long.

Yes, more then ever.  Inconsiderate and rude to openly watch a movie with no headphones on a plane.  Or, having a full loud conversation on a phone in a public restaurant or shop. 

The sign of the times people could careless about others. 

Add, the general loud speakers, motorcycles and cars with no mufflers. Thailand is a very loud place.

 

[OJAS]

Reverberating bass thuds emanating from multi-megawatt sound systems mounted on pick-ups or at temples are my particular pet hate. Oh, and that along with dogs which insist on howling and/or barking loudly at 3.00AM.

 

[novacova]

Misophonia, a sensitivity of certain tones and/or sounds. The best remedy is the use of earplugs. Hyperacusis is sensitivity to loud noise or sounds that seem loud. Again, the use of earplugs is a good remedy.

If everyone would tell these rude people to shut the F up, then we would have a more peaceful existence.

Had the rooster topped in the next house, sorted the most of the barking dogs out as well as the PA music players. Boots wax earplugs are the best for cutting out noise, mostly the wifes family yakking

Here you go lads, another golden opportunity to Thai bash presented by our resident 'click bait extraordinaire'.

Next door keeps ducks.

Boss duck sounds reveille at 4 am.

Bastard!

 

I must confess that I don't like those Nazi style crash helmets. Used to be a fellow in Chiang Rai with one,  complete with all the eagles clutching swastikas decals. Pulled up next to him at some lights once, snapped a picture on my phone. He got all Teutonic and started swearing at me in German, before the lights changed and he roared off to invade Poland!

For me it depends very much on the kind of noise.

A high revving two-stroke bike is like music.

When some idiot watches videos in the lift or has some video call, that is annoying.

 

 

[ravip]

Does noise annoy you ?

 

Yes & No.

In a residential area, on a BTS, bus, on a plane and other public places it is a definite NO!

But in a disco, musical show in an auditorium etc. it is OK

 

Has anyone ever encountered the super smart guy/gal who speaks very loudly in places such as on the BTS, on an aircraft etc.? They also seem to be lucky that nature has endowed on them a voice that penetrates the thickest skulls! or a group of females chatting and laughing  (cackling?) in similar places.

comes from listening to music too loud when we were young...

drunk people also talk louder too

as for me, personally, I do talk loud but not out of choice. I have severe tinnitus in one ear... loud enough to make it hard to make out what people are saying... so I do sadly speak loudly 

[riclag]

Most noise,It all started when I noticed my alcoholic father eat at the kitchen table,with his mouth open.

Sounded like this. As soon as my kids got off baby food , proper eating habits were taught!

Later on it was 

roosting sparrows,

Roosters,

Crows,

obsessive dog barking,

children whining .

i did a google search recently to see if Americans had a greater incidence of deafness, you know because of the loud talking, but no, nothing to show they are up the rankings

While we’re at it , one of my immediate neighbors comes home in the wee hours of the morning and converses with his dog children like it was 2 pm in the afternoon .

All his phone conversations are on speakerphone , he shouts everything.

My wife’s voice gets high when her family comes over, its not annoying but there is a distinct difference.

Would you like them as much at 2 am, when the roosters hit their stride in my GF's village?

I truly admire people who can block annoying nuisance noises out!

My Other neighbor comes from Wales

he has hearing problems and uses a hearing aid.

When a mutual friend comes over to visit with her 6 year old son the Wales guy  has to leave and goto another room cause the kids whining is off the wall.He says it hurts. It doesn’t hurt me but it is very annoying.
