So- What your least favorite sounds? How do you deal with them?
And what are your favorite sounds?
I just can't stand the noise!!!

Re: I just can't stand the noise!!!
Snoring, chewing, repetitive clicky noises, loud people talking (I shut my office door when that happens)
Favorite -
Music, TV, or silence
Liv - Are your custom earplugs comfy? I have considered doing that because H snores so loudly. My doctor can probably refer me, since she knows I've complained about not sleeping well.
ETA - Lunar, I've heard about people developing the talent of falling asleep fast after having kids. Hopefully that will work for you.

Also, nose things; like, blowing your nose or sniffing or hawking loogies (SP?). All things snot related gross me out too!
ETA: I like the sound of waves and quiet rain (not storms) and chimes, then music for certain moods. That's about it.
My brother is also not a fan of noises. He will get really angry at people who cough or sneeze. Personally, those sounds don't bother me like the snoring and chewing.

[QUOTE]Also, not like it really matters in the comfort of your own home, but you can't really tell visually that you are wearing them. They fit snugly into the ear and are flesh-colored, and have tiny clear silicone "wires" for lack of a better term that stick out so you can pull them out.

What? What? My pink earrplugs aren't sexy?!

I actually pulled them out for this picture- you usually can't see them.
I LOVE the sound of my sound machine:
It helps me so I cannot hear my neighbors when I sleep at night. Or my roommates banging pans around in the morning when they're eating breakfast.
Also, when people would rather sniffle than blow their noses. It's gotten so bad at my house that I refuse to stay in the same room with my father. UGH.
Favorite noises? Silence. Rain. Ambient music. And that noise that other people make when they're asleep. I love being awake next to Mast once he drifts off, because the room takes on a different feel from the noise.
It's awesome. And amazing if you play it really loud
I'm also pretty much horrified of kiddos, lunar, so I understand what you're saying (they're loud, dangit!)

I have this problem with wet paper towels and napkins. I can't stand them in the least bit. I also can't touch ANYTHING when I am all pruny from a bath. *shudders*
But when it's like a snort or I can HEAR your disgusting mucus forcibly moving around in your head cavity...
OMFG I CANNOT STAND IT.
Ughhhhh *shudders* Even talking about it makes me super unhappy.

I bought one just like that, but it was too loud for me. I put it in the bathroom and it still bothered me. I do run a humidifier every night, and it has a softer fan-like sound.

HAHAHAHAHAHA
BF just looked at me like, "WTF you laughin at so hard, crazy lady?"
I hate that as well. Not many things gross me out, but spit/mucus is one of them. I am less grossed out by poop - honestly. BF and his dad find it hilarious - sometimes they just look at me and say, "mucus," to watch me squirm.
I hate the feeling of concrete dust. My dad worked in concrete construction, and the sound of the concrete-dust-covered laces against each other when he took his boots off at the end of the day was like nails on a chalkboard. Running into the dust anywhere in the house was like a small torture.
I dislike mouth noises as well, especially on the phone. If I have to talk to someone who has gum or a cough drop in their mouth, or is chewing food while on the phone, I get super edgy.
