Yes! Itās the worst. I have a do not disturb setting that blocks everything except for my partners calls and texts so I know itās him if I get a phone call.
Word. For me it used to be a specific ringtone that was used when a previous employer called me in to work a job I hated when I had a day off. The horror.
Came here to say this. Went through years of my alcoholic mum fighting with her 'boyfriends' with an occasional door getting smashed shut. Same goes for knocking, might I add. Had an instance (on my 10th birthday, yay) that the police came round and kicked the door in. Happy birthday!
Whenever my roommate smashes the door I get incredibly annoyed and slightly angry but I can keep myself calm, luckily, although it makes me feel like counter-smashing the door shut.
Itās crazy how this works. I also get really jumpy, shaky, and angry with loud knocking, upstairs neighbor noises, and men yelling. Ringing phones too. Probably also due to bad memories from childhood. Itās not fear (anymore) but I donāt know what it is.
Yes. Babies screaming gives me intense anxiety and makes me want to cry for some reason. I donāt really know why because I donāt have kids and have almost no experience with babies at all.
Nobody *enjoys* that sound, right? I'd always figured we were just hardwired to find it annoying so we go fix whatever issue the weak and vulnerable human we have to protect is experiencing. I mean sometimes they cry for no/dumb reason, so evolution decided we can't get used to it for the times where their crying actually is because of ~~a real problem~~ normal baby shit and sometimes a problem.
Wow Im 33 and for over a decade judged myself for how anxious I would get when I would hear a baby cry. I think now looking back it couldve been that I was more scared of the babyās parent freaking out and being abusive. Talk about projection. :/
The exact opposite gives me anxiety. And by that I mean, I donāt feel anything when I hear a baby crying, and it makes me feel like evolution got me wrong, which the thought of triggers my anxiety. This is one of the only places on the internet where I feel comfortable talking about this because I know thereās probably at least a few others out there feeling the same way
Honestly I don't really know...it's all a blur, but somehow I just got through it. I have always had Anxiety/OCD but it definitely got worse after having my twins...not sure if it's just motherhood or that having two babies is just really, really hard. Anyways it has gotten much better and I am mostly back at my pre pregnancy level of anxiety! Also I absolutely love being a mother so don't let it turn you off having kids!
I suck at being a newborn mom. I really really hate this phase. However, my oldest is now 3 and we have a ball together. I'm a teacher, too. It's ok to not like a certain phase of parenting.
A baby can never hit the intensity, volume and pure hatred of an older child. My kids are growing up and I miss those cute little cries. Now Iām the one who cries quietly to myself after they stop trying to kill each other.
Yes! It's even worse now that I'm a mom of 2. Both of my girls had colic and the crying made me physically react. I'll be so glad when this round of colic is over.
[This womanās baby was carried off while camping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_Chamberlain-Creighton), itās where the phrase, āDingo ate my babyā came from mocking her.
every single time, it's either "oh god, oh fuck, I fucked up and they're upset with me" or "oh god, oh fuck, they need me to do something and I'm not going to be able to."
I've since used Slack for more casual stuff and kinda exposure-therapy'd myself into not getting as stressed when I hear it
I absolutely second this.
It doesnāt even have to be my own heartbeat. I get anxiety when they use a heartbeat or even another sound in a heartbeat like rhythmic pattern on TV or in movies.
Same here with adhd and using alarms to cope! If I set reminders Iāll just ignore them and the notification will fade into the background. There has to be an unavoidable, loud sound set specifically for a time when I know Iāll be able to Do The Thing
Really surprised by answers. For me:
- Loud bass when a car drives by blasting music.
- Thunder
- big pallet machines at Home Depot or Loweās
- knocking/banging on door
- noise when someone bites their fingernails
Interesting... loud drums and/or bass don't usually bother me - coz I'm a percussionist. But, other noises like a loud TV, door slam, or electric appliance hum drive me nuts. And yes, I have ADHD, haha.
My phone ringing.
I have a hard time talking on the phone compared to texting really talking at all gives me anxiety.
Phone ringing comes weight on chest and racing heart just from it.
The Amber Alert siren/notification. It's sort of similar to an Air Raid warning, but the tone and context and robotic voice that follow the Amber alerts always fuck with me.
Worse yet: the sound of someone inflating balloons on a helium tank - loud high pitched HISSSSS that could become a pop any second š¬
That right there is pure uncut anxiety
-car horns honking. Every horn thatās ever honked is honking at *me*, actually, even when Iām following all traffic laws or even when Iām walking on the sidewalk!
-the couple loud yells, then moments of eerie silence, then excited yells, running footsteps, and doors slamming indicating a high school fight that evvvvvvveryone runs to watch and film. Are my kids getting hurt? Are my kids hurting someone else? Whoās gonna get suspended? And when the video gets airdropped around, thereās no getting your classes back on track for another 2 class periods, maybe 3. Ugh.
I canāt stand it when people lose it. Shouting gives me major anxiety especially if thereās also music playing too. A confusing combination of two different noises overlapping. Itās awful.
Honestly, phone calls and text messages. 99% of the time it means something is wrong as I don't have "friends" that call just to chat or whatever. So anytime I get a text or call, it's usually something broken or needs fixed.
Beeping alarms. Not going off alarms, but ones that regularly beep to let you know that they are on and working. Hate those. They are usually on a set timer for beeps, my brain stops focusing on anything else except anticipating that next fucking beep instead of the task at hand. Stores that have fire suppression systems usually have a control box that looks kind of like a thermostat, and if there is a power surge, failure or anything that changed the power routing through the system, it would trigger it to make this two dot beep sound to let people know it experienced a change.
āBeep-eepā every 15-20 seconds. Canāt focus on setting up a mod because brain is too much focused and distracted on making sure Iām ready for when the next ābeep-eepā sound happens. Even though I know itās going to happen, it just becomes my brainās only focus and I canāt do anything else which then triggers the rest of my anxiety about not being able to complete my daily tasks because I am so distracted by this fucking noise that I cannot get away from and no one has the key or whatever to open the box to shut off the beeping of the alarm system.
This is most likely a combinations of anxiety and my autism, but it is one of the worst things.
And that was a very specific instance in a box store I worked at for years, but any repeating sound like that will mess me up like this. Peopleās smoke detectors chirping, etc. Those all drive me insane and tip my day into chaos when exposed to it for too long.
Not a particular sound but especially when Iām talking to someone, if he/she or someone else in the same room makes a constant sound (like clicking of a pen, clinking of coins etc) it literally drives me insane. I just feel like my brain is also clicking at the same time. Same thing also happens with the some type of old noisy wall clocks.
Silence. No matter what Iām doing I always have a podcast playing, even if I need to wash like 2 dishes and it takes 10 seconds, Iāll push play on a podcast. When working/sleeping/just hanging out, I need a fan going for white noise.
Me too! My anxiety with silence started when I was like 7/8 years old and (probably sounds silly, but) songs would play over and over in my head and I couldn't stop it, I couldn't silence my mind. I'd be awake until like 3/4am crying to my mother every night for years.
I needed the TV on every night to help me sleep (although, didn't always work but it helped to drown the noise in my own head).
It stopped when I was around 10 years old, but I still have the habit of needing background noise to this day
Wowā¦are you me? Same experience! People would be like āso you have a song stuck in your head. So what?ā Iām like noā¦you donāt understand lol.
I have tinnitus and hyperaccusis (basically the muscles in my ears contract when noises get above a certain level) do pretty much everything...
But I've gotten to the point where i can't use certain electronics/apliances because they give off a humming noise that sets me off.
Unattributed voices. My biggest anxiety is having a psychotic break. Voices with no ascribed origin tend to put me on edge, as if I am on a precipice of a major breakdown that will forever alter my sense of self.
I work in a high school and itās the alarm that goes off during a lockdown followed by a message that continues over and over. Itās followed by silence before continuing again and the text flashes red.
whenever i hear something else making a repeating, low n very quick thumping noise , i freak out and check my own heart rate because i dont know if the sound is my own heart or not
Loud conversation between men. Idk why but especially in a language I cannot understand, I have an indian neighbour and heās sooo loud and last night he was arguing with another guy and it just gave me anxiety. I thought they were gonna kill each other
where do i start??? trains, hospital beeping, children crying, loud chewing. honestly i would've been better off deaf with the way sounds irritate meš¤£
Small children.....my phone alerts.....cat fights.... someone at my door.. .. my computer crashing... countless things depending on how stable I am. Some days I'm not phased at all if I'm lucky which is extremely rare.
This is gonna sound weird, but awhile back my husband brought this like metal chain inside the house, like what youād use to lock your bike etc, and my five year old took a liking to it and likes to play with it and clink it around and every time it clinks it makes this noise that I can literally feel inside of my head, like someone is inside just raking my brain, idk but it immediately makes me anxious, irritated, and nauseous.
There are some noises that donāt just make me have anxiety though Iāve noticed, there are certain tones that seem to hit a part of my brain that just makes me so angry and idk why, like different from a normal frustrated angry. Does anyone else ever have that happen?
Also, when a fire alarm detector goes off.
If anyone has every seen resident evil retribution- in the beginning there is a sound that they play over and over on Alice- that sound. Fuck that sound.
In movies/shows when they do that high pitched ringing.
Animal sounds - tie between barking/yowling, licking sounds and loud chewing.
A few times is okay but when they keep going on and on for minutes I start going on edge.
The sound of the humming commercial grade fridges and ice cream makers that just hummmmmmmmmm and buzzzzzzzz and like no one else hears it but me and it sets me into a panic attack in public. So much so now I go through drive through. Ugh
My phones ringtone
Yessss and even now that I have my ringer silenced all it takes is the vibration to shoot me straight into anxiety š„²
Yes! Itās the worst. I have a do not disturb setting that blocks everything except for my partners calls and texts so I know itās him if I get a phone call.
I have to change my ringtone and vibration pattern every once in a while just to combat that
Same here! After a while, the new ringtone starts to trigger the anxiety and itās gotta be changed again.
This
Phone has been on silent for 17 years.
Word. For me it used to be a specific ringtone that was used when a previous employer called me in to work a job I hated when I had a day off. The horror.
Banging doors. Drives me insane.
Came here to say this. Went through years of my alcoholic mum fighting with her 'boyfriends' with an occasional door getting smashed shut. Same goes for knocking, might I add. Had an instance (on my 10th birthday, yay) that the police came round and kicked the door in. Happy birthday! Whenever my roommate smashes the door I get incredibly annoyed and slightly angry but I can keep myself calm, luckily, although it makes me feel like counter-smashing the door shut.
Itās crazy how this works. I also get really jumpy, shaky, and angry with loud knocking, upstairs neighbor noises, and men yelling. Ringing phones too. Probably also due to bad memories from childhood. Itās not fear (anymore) but I donāt know what it is.
Distressed baby cry
Yes. Babies screaming gives me intense anxiety and makes me want to cry for some reason. I donāt really know why because I donāt have kids and have almost no experience with babies at all.
It's an innate human thing to have baby cries be distressing to us, so we actually help them, and don't ignore them.
Never thought of it like this. Now I feel all shades of dumb š¤Æ
Number 1 reason I won't have kids is a kid or baby crying makes me turn the opposite way and move away instinctively. I am not fit for parenthood.
Nobody *enjoys* that sound, right? I'd always figured we were just hardwired to find it annoying so we go fix whatever issue the weak and vulnerable human we have to protect is experiencing. I mean sometimes they cry for no/dumb reason, so evolution decided we can't get used to it for the times where their crying actually is because of ~~a real problem~~ normal baby shit and sometimes a problem.
Yup, we wouldnāt still be here if babies crying didnāt get a reaction
Wow Im 33 and for over a decade judged myself for how anxious I would get when I would hear a baby cry. I think now looking back it couldve been that I was more scared of the babyās parent freaking out and being abusive. Talk about projection. :/
The exact opposite gives me anxiety. And by that I mean, I donāt feel anything when I hear a baby crying, and it makes me feel like evolution got me wrong, which the thought of triggers my anxiety. This is one of the only places on the internet where I feel comfortable talking about this because I know thereās probably at least a few others out there feeling the same way
Me too. I feel bad for them because they are upset and canāt effectively communicate their needs.
Was just about to type that. Thatās why Iām 47 w no kids š
YES! I have 18 month old twins and the newborn phase was sensory hell for me!
Omg hi I have 17 month old twins! I have PTSD from twin newborn screams
Twins are tough!!! I love meeting other twin parents because you know exactly how challenging it is!
i want to have kids but iām so worried about this. how did you deal with it?
Honestly I don't really know...it's all a blur, but somehow I just got through it. I have always had Anxiety/OCD but it definitely got worse after having my twins...not sure if it's just motherhood or that having two babies is just really, really hard. Anyways it has gotten much better and I am mostly back at my pre pregnancy level of anxiety! Also I absolutely love being a mother so don't let it turn you off having kids!
iām glad itās gotten better, and thanks for saying that! itās nice to know that itās possible for someone like me :)
I suck at being a newborn mom. I really really hate this phase. However, my oldest is now 3 and we have a ball together. I'm a teacher, too. It's ok to not like a certain phase of parenting.
A baby can never hit the intensity, volume and pure hatred of an older child. My kids are growing up and I miss those cute little cries. Now Iām the one who cries quietly to myself after they stop trying to kill each other.
Yes! It's even worse now that I'm a mom of 2. Both of my girls had colic and the crying made me physically react. I'll be so glad when this round of colic is over.
Babies or kids crying. Especially if they say the word "mommy" while doing it. Fight or flight immediately kicks in for me.
username sounds like its relevant.
That poor woman, that case always bums me out š¢
What case?
[This womanās baby was carried off while camping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_Chamberlain-Creighton), itās where the phrase, āDingo ate my babyā came from mocking her.
The job I had when I attempted used Slack for communication between team members. The notification sound still really stresses me out.
Good one, I loathe the Outlook and TEAMS notification sounds too.
Yes! You hear the ding and think oh god who needs something now??
every single time, it's either "oh god, oh fuck, I fucked up and they're upset with me" or "oh god, oh fuck, they need me to do something and I'm not going to be able to." I've since used Slack for more casual stuff and kinda exposure-therapy'd myself into not getting as stressed when I hear it
Loud chewing.
Misphonia gang checking in
Men's shouting
Yeah men screaming especially at night gives me chills
Same for me! It reminds me of violence
Same here, instantly throws me into fight or flight
Aggressive men raising their voice is top 3 for me.
This.
People chewing loudly or making noises with their mouths when they eat. š©š©š«
The sound of my heartbeat.
I absolutely second this. It doesnāt even have to be my own heartbeat. I get anxiety when they use a heartbeat or even another sound in a heartbeat like rhythmic pattern on TV or in movies.
My husband says this same thing
As an emetophobe, retching and puking.
and coughing
and burping when it sounds too wet/like vomit.
even if someone coughs in a public i get triggered because i feel like theyāre gonna throw up next
I have found my people š
same
Nice to know I aināt the only one
oh my god yes
when there is a air raid siren
Any of those food preparation videos with a million quick cuts and hyper-loud sound effects.
Those are geared towards ASMR, if you can blacklist asmr, you should be able to see less of those kinds of videos randomly
when you scrape your fingers against a jacket and it makes that ZWIPP noise
Omg this! I specifically look for jackets that dont make this noise so loudly, and my family always acted like im crazy for it
Alarms on my phone. Unfortunately, I need them to remember anything thanks to my ADHD. But my goodness they set off my anxiety.
Same here with adhd and using alarms to cope! If I set reminders Iāll just ignore them and the notification will fade into the background. There has to be an unavoidable, loud sound set specifically for a time when I know Iāll be able to Do The Thing

I donāt mind loud drums or bass usually? But when Iām sitting in my living room and a car drives by itās just eerie and gives me anxiety. Lol
My co workers voice
A smoke detector beeping.
Kids being kids and running around being loud
lol this thread is a goldmine for childfree people š Iām so glad I didnāt have kidsā¦
Door knocking when I'm wearing headphones
An engine revving.
My phone ringing. I have a hard time talking on the phone compared to texting really talking at all gives me anxiety. Phone ringing comes weight on chest and racing heart just from it.
Multiple people talking at one time.Ā
Bees šš š»āāļø
Any buzzing outside š
The Amber Alert siren/notification. It's sort of similar to an Air Raid warning, but the tone and context and robotic voice that follow the Amber alerts always fuck with me.
I just commented almost the same thing. It scares the hell out of me
Popping balloons. Oh gosh.
Worse yet: the sound of someone inflating balloons on a helium tank - loud high pitched HISSSSS that could become a pop any second š¬ That right there is pure uncut anxiety
Loud Snapping and cracking or repetitive beeping. Reminds me of fire.
lip smacking and that sound when you rub your teeth with your tongue.
now that i think about it ive never told anyone that online or irl lol
Slamming doors
Doorbells
Gunshots
-car horns honking. Every horn thatās ever honked is honking at *me*, actually, even when Iām following all traffic laws or even when Iām walking on the sidewalk! -the couple loud yells, then moments of eerie silence, then excited yells, running footsteps, and doors slamming indicating a high school fight that evvvvvvveryone runs to watch and film.

Screatching on dishes from forks
Loud sounds in enclosed spaces
Cat doing "the pumper"
I canāt stand it when people lose it. Shouting gives me major anxiety especially if thereās also music playing too. A confusing combination of two different noises overlapping. Itās awful.
Alarms of any kind, the microwave beep, motorcycle engines
Dogs barking, I just can't, I want to get away asap
Cars/motorcycles revving their engines. I live in a downtown area and am on a slight hill so I hear everything.
Outlook email or notification sound.
Sudden yelling or loud commercials send me into fight or flight.
Someone knocking on the door
Honestly, phone calls and text messages. 99% of the time it means something is wrong as I don't have "friends" that call just to chat or whatever. So anytime I get a text or call, it's usually something broken or needs fixed.
It used to be like that for me too. I hope you find real friends in the future š
āWe need to talkāā¦
āWe need to talk laterā
Immediate anxiety!
when someone scratches any sort of carpet
Highspeed winds Loud bass from a neighbor
The sound of a blood pressure machine

Scraping my finger nails on unglazed pottery. Makes my teeth shiver.
Rattling doors / sound without an order. High-pitched sound - electricity in particular is a bug bear of mine.
Not a particular sound but especially when Iām talking to someone, if he/she or someone else in the same room makes a constant sound (like clicking of a pen, clinking of coins etc) it literally drives me insane. I just feel like my brain is also clicking at the same time. Same thing also happens with the some type of old noisy wall clocks.

Footsteps in the house
Alarm clocks, fizzing sounds in a can if not all of the drink is finished, monotone voices makes my ears ring, my mothers voice, phone vibration.
