One.

My next-door neighbors have just got a dog. Uh, I've always really liked dogs. Uh, but this one just absolutely drives me mad. It barks at everything. It barks at the rain. It barks at traffic, barks at the wind, and it's got a really high-pitched yappy bark. Uh, and yeah, it barks all day, all night, it drives me mad.

Two.

A sound that I really can't stand, I actually detest this sound, is the sound of my daughter eating popcorn whenever we go to the cinema together. I always make her buy a small box because otherwise it takes her forever to finish and get to the bottom. Oh, but it's the the crunch, the sound of the little kernels in her mouth, the the the chew, the the all the sounds inside her mouth, it's just so irritating.

Three.

I do this quite funny thing. So when my kids are in bed, I often go in and I just listen to them breathing when they're asleep and it's really calms me down. This sort of steady breathing and it makes me feel really happy and calm and reassured that they're healthy and they're at home and well, actually also the fact that they're fast asleep. So I can get some time to myself, you know, some peace and quiet.

Four.

I find the sound of the sea just, just makes me feel relaxed. It makes me at peace. Doesn't matter if it's a gentle sea against a beach or ocean crashing against rocks. I just, it just calms me down. I love it. I've even got an app on my phone of sea sounds which helps me if I'm traveling and I can't get to sleep somewhere. I always put that on. Helps me relax.

Five.

I think it's when I hear the constant beeping of all my uh, different kitchen appliances. You know, the washing machine or the dishwasher. And when you think that they've finished and it and but you don't know and then it goes beep, and then a minute later beep, beep, beep, and it gets louder just so you know, it's really finished what it's doing, you know, it's talking to you. I find it's so annoying. It really annoys my husband too, you know, you're sitting there trying to have a nice relaxing evening, watching the TV. And then, you know, one of you has to get up and go and attend to it, go and turn it off.

Six.

Well, the sound of a baby laughing or like giggling. Um, I love that. I was watching something on YouTube the other day and uh, with like young babies and pets and the babies were just giggling all over the place, they were roaring with laughter. And I thought it was one of the happiest, like sweetest sounds I'd ever heard.

Seven.

listening to music played very quietly so that you can't actually hear it. Music should be something that you want to hear properly and more loudly, not just there playing quietly irritating you. And the other thing is background music, like lift music that you don't want to hear at all. I don't like hearing any music unwillingly.

Eight.

Well, um, the sound of the train. I I find it really relaxing because the sound fits perfectly along with the movement of the train, moving along and the jolting backwards and forwards, and oh, but I do need to be sitting facing forwards rather than backwards, because otherwise I feel really train sick.
