3) Dog barking if anyone knocks on the door
4) Cat meowing incessantly to be fed.
5)I have a hatred of how the microwave closes, even the kitchen draws see to slam shut...shhhhhh!
6) Washing bottles slam, bang, crash...beep beep beep!..Arrgghhhh..lol
7) Kettle whistling
8) Washing machine finishing
9) Phone ringing
10) Hubby yelling at a sports game on TV
11) Footsteps on the carpet are suddenly amplified
12) Cringe closing door to the bedroom.
13) Don't Flush unless it’s a number 2!!!
14) My dog barking.
15) Loading the dishwasher (why must you drop the cuttlery in to the holder?)
