          Whitney Houston, or one of her clones, "singing" over the intercom at Walgreens. It always leaves me asking the question, "Why is this woman screaming at me?"

                        arms. It is not a sound but UK goalkeepers tend to not know what to do with them. On the opposite, we French know how to use them...

                            Styrofoam. I can deal with a number of sounds that some people find extremely annoying, but squeaking styrofoam drives me batty.

                              the sound of a mobile phone on a desk with the owner no where in sight (you would think the name would give them a hint ie MOBILE phone)

                              You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

                                    It could be silence - I feel I could enjoy silence for a while, maybe upto even a day or two , but then after that, I just don't know - it might just get scary. :~
