I'm very sensitive to sound, in general. A tennis-racket bug zapper makes a high-pitched squealing noise, which I will hear without fail. I also hear it when my dad adjusts the settings on his hearing aids - that's done via a sound that's supposed to be just outside human hearing range.
There's a lot of noises that bug me, as a result of how sensitive I am to sound - mosquitoes are all hellspawn intent on destroying my sleep, noisy eaters can rot in hell, and whomever came up with the Dutch street organ deserves to get fucked with a rusty chainsaw.
Yesss… Not all of these, some really get to me. Also, the "hum" produced by some lights and plugs, and some "turned off" PCs, nails on fabric, scuffs.
On another note:
People who do not read instructions before asking what the instructions say.
People using chat services who do not scroll up to read previous messages (and ask a question that has been answered three times or more, including five posts back).
People who refuse to even try looking up an answer before asking about it.
People who claim they have not received an answer when you can track how many times you've given it.
