Steem Basic Income Giveaway: Most Annoying Sound?
Wow... I'm stunningly behind on my Contests... well, I am going to make the excuse that I'm travelling a fair bit at the moment, and thus falling pretty behind on anything STEEM related! Thanks for everyone who replied back to the Stairs or Lifts question... I'm going to try and make it a quicker turn around for this coming round!
This week, I'm asking about what you think your least favourite sound is... our modern world is full of lots of sounds and noises, and most of it just noise pollution... background noise that is just unnessary.... and in many cases avoidable! As a musician, I tend to have a bit of a double edged approach to this... I tend to hear relatively well, but I can focus to avoid listening to things that I don't want ot listen to... however, when I'm tired... things start to get to me!
My Question
- What is your least favourite sound?
My sample answer
Oh... there are so many things I could have put here... but what really drives me nuts are the people who don't disable or silence their phone's noise taps! ploop, ploop, ploop... as they type away... ARRRRRGH! Even worse than the people who don't silence their notifications, and then receive SMS/WhatsApps at the rate of 10 per second...
Just thinking about these things already drives me nuts!
Anyway, other things that I find annoying are the old Mac OS startup CLANG! ... and "background" piped music... why have music in shopping centres/malls? Music is meant to be listened to... not to add to the decibel level of the background noise!
Rules
- Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
- Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
- In the comments, answer as best as you can the questions that are posed in the "My Questions"!
- I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
- I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!
Steem Basic Income
One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!
With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!
Last week's winners
The last post paid out 0.004 SBD and 2.322 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 3 shares.
The winners by random draw are:

The most annoying sound to me, is that of two or more people arguing, it is desperate to see and hear two people behave like savages.

Loud arguments and rap gargle. What more can one say?
Blessings!
rap gargle? Well, mostly... I'm not fussed by those, as long as the participants aren't blasting it to everyone else!

Musician. Yes, I get that. For that reason, one of the sounds that annoys me most is any voice (my own, especially) singing out of tune. Even if it's just a little bit. Truly, however, I hope that there is a special place in hell for people who play reggaeton at such a volume that you . . . No, no qualification: For people who play reggaeton.
Haha... as long as they keep it to themselves, I don't mind... but if they are blasting it out, then.... hmmm!

Crying babies... for sure. If they open their mouths, I would gladly throw them out of the window, no matter whether it's day or night...

The sound of someone chewing with their mouth open. It’s so cringeworthy and it’s really not a good idea to call someone out on it unless they can take it as a joke. Thanks for the SBI share from the last giveaway.

Heh... that is pretty annoying... although, I don't think I've really heard it that often... now I will probably hear it all the time!

The buzzing of an insect flying through my room.
Especially if I want to sleep.
Mosquitos in the middle of the night are the worst! Flies don't bother me quite so much, but the high pitched sound reminding you that you will be bitten? the WORST!

My least favorite sound is a baby’s cry in the middle of the night the first day you return home from the hospital. The reason is as a parent you feel so helpless and are so tired.

Oh, that was something that I had long forgotten about! Although, at that time... I think I was just so overwhelmed by the new experience!

Traffic noise, not sure how to remedy, try switch off, not that easy!
Close runner up are cell phones where people insist the button sounds must be on loud for the whole world to know they are able to tick tick tick on them.... urgh I need another coffee!
Tick tick tick... yep, that was really my top hate! Traffic noise is pretty annoying, I use noise cancelling headphones now... but that isn't any good if you need to be aware of your surroundings!

Honking of vehicles.

Uhhh... that is a terrible one... especially when it isn't for actually warning of danger!
