Hey, I get like that too. It disturbs the hell out of me because when my mom vacuums(sp?) around me I get extremely irritated and want to pulverize someone. I never do, but it's a scary feeling.
Sorry, got no idea what the cure/problem is. Maybe somebody here will tell us.

I am so easily annoyed by certain sounds
usually by someone repeatinly with the sniffles, or tapping a pencil
cracking knuckles, and also gum smacking

i am a female, usually people think I am so sweet and great and calm
but if some kind of sound , like a loud movie going on in the other room of my house,

i want to punch who ever is causing the annoying sound to me, I want to punch them, I want to scream

it is interesting, ( of course I never would hurt someone )

i just have to go away

infact, I was just planning this thursday to go to walmart or somewhere
that sells these headphones that block a lot of sound out
sometimes people use them for meditation

thanks for listening, I am not the only one! :)

Things like that used to irritate me too, especially when I am in a public place and their are kids yelling and screaming, I learned to tune them out by focusing my mind on something else(i realize that it is easier said than done).
Sincerely,
sandy

Hello, I am a newcomer to this board: i, too, have a problem with being annoyed by noises and while trawling the internet for similarly afflicted people, I found this forum.

I have had this problem for 30 years. When I was in my teens, I was sent to a psychiatrist and then a couple of psychologists. None of them even wanted to address the problem and kept going off on tangents about my alleged low self esteem and blah-de-blah. The psychiatrist suggested I would be happier if I wore make-up and nicer clothes (?!). He also give me tranquilizers and then antidpressants, which made me worse.

If any of you people who contributed to this thread earlier are still around, i'd love to make contact.
