Anything and everything related to noises and sounds being so loud/unnecessary. It feels like the world keeps getting louder and louder for no reason. Speakerphones blasting music and full volume calls on speaker, thudding base/stereo systems, just the volume people seem to talk without any regard for the people around them is ridiculous. That's not to mention any of my misophonia related triggers on top of it all. Some days I really wish I could turn my hearing off for a bit
People eating with their mouths open in an otherwise silent room.
I wish my neighborhood had specific hours for lawn work / leaf blowers / power washers. I'm sick of my noise canceling headphones.
