    I can deal with a long, sustained squeal sound on a chalkboard, but the sound of chalk gliding smoothly over a board (a very good, satisfying sound) and then suddenly squawking gives me the heebie jeebies

    the cry of the collared dove.

    “when excited or alarmed, they give off a loud hwaaah sound.”

    what they don’t mention is it’s a ghastly noise that sounds like a long-time smoker choking and vomiting a tiny amount.

    I use a Dexcom CGM (continuous glucose monitor) that's connected to my phone and it has various alerts for when my bloodsugar is too high or low, etc.

    I can turn most of them off except, obviously, the low bloodsugar alert, as that is the most dangerous for me. The problem is is that the CGM has a 5 or 10 minute delay, so even after I've raised my bloodsugar, it still beeps like crazy

    I'm just like "I'M FINE, DEXCOM, PLEASE STOP BEEPING, I'M FINE"

    Uh, oh boy. I have some sounds that I can never unhear but wish I could. Spoiled for uhh, reasons.

    c/w: Body horror:
    The sound my sister made when she forgot to put the needle guard down and sewed a sewing machine needle through her finger.

    c/w: Death, grieving:
    The sound my grandma made when we went to my Step-dad's viewing and she saw her son laying dead on the bier.

    I really hate the sound of a nail file

    Like, I cannot file my nails because I find the sensation so painful, and hearing it is deeply unpleasant as well

    fuck does that sound suck.

    my bedframe has been making this awful metal squeak lately whenever I move around on my bed like at all, because the dumb bolts keep comin' loose

    sounds like I am banging like crazy and no I just rolled over, the better to hear the quiet podcast on my bluetooth speaker.

    When I was in college I had an art history class during lunch and one guy who sat in front of me often brought a bag of Miss Vickie's Kettle Cooked Potato Chips and would crunch them with his mouth open

    so I would just leave the class.

    I still got an A in it, though.

    there's a sound I hear in a nightmare I have sometimes that I've never actually heard because it's so terrible that as soon as it starts I scream so loud I cover it up and then that wakes me up

    one time I watched an episode of Hard Copy about the Chupacabra and it scared me and then that night while I was in bed, I heard some cats having sex outside and immediately knew I was totally fucked

    cats having sex is not nearly the worst sound, but in context
