Certain noises are nerve breaking. You feel restless till it stops and your brain stops working. You feel you cannot bear it anymore. Out of these three sounds, which one is your nerve breaker? Or do you feel any other sound is more nerve breaking than these three? snoring is exempted. ha ha ha. 1. Child's cry 2. cooker's whistle 3. Train's horn

I am very much allergic to sounds. I hate for the cookers whistle and train's horns. When we were in schools our PT master use to whistle i use to hate even that sound.

Some people do not bother about any sound at all. I wonder how they can tolerate that much sound pollution.

I have really sensitive hearing, so a lot of sounds really drive me crazy. Usually the higher the pitch of the sound, the more it bugs me. I wear headphones when I go out, so traffic noises dont bother me.

Certain things are not under our control. The noise is one of them. We must try to avoid that like how you wear headphone, or live with it bearing patiently.

I cannot stand to hear a child cry. It gets on my nerves, especially if I do not know what to do for them to make them happy and quiet. It is hard to calm a crying child sometimes and it can be annoying too.

One day my child was crying loudly. I was frantically trying to find out what is the reason. I searched the bed to see if any ant was there. Then my servant maid found out that the child was holding her hair tightly and for that pain it was crying. It did not know that it has to leave the hair. When we removed the hand from the hair, it stopped crying.

Definately the childs cry. My son throughs fits all the time and one thing that drives me nuts is him crying on and on for ten to fifteen minutes. I can't stand it. I have to leave the room before i loose my cool. I would rather stand near a train and hear it blow its horn over and over again. NOT Kidding.

I can make out from your response as to how much it affects you. But we have to bear it. That is why we are called parents. My children always made me walk half of the night in the room to make them sleep.

a child's cry can wreck my nerves.a cooker's whistle will stop once you switch it off.a train will horn to signal it is nearing the station or if something is blocking the rail.a child will cry for a lot of reasons,and it is irritating and nerve wracking when they don't stop!s/he will cry louder when s/he doesn't get what s/he wants.

I'd have to say a child's crying,especially if it's someone else's child and you can't get to the child to see why they are crying. You know children cry for a reason-especially if they are small,but you need to know why they are crying.A younger baby may simply need a diaper change or a little cuddling or even may be hungry.But after the child is a bit older,they fall or get scared and if you can't get to the child to comfort or fix the problem that drives me crazy.LOL

Some parents do not bother about the child's cry. Last year we had one neighbour. Their window is very near to our window. Most of the nights at 12 in the night, the child was crying very very loudly and her father was sleeping well. Mother will simply say go to sleep and keep quiet. If any neighbour complained, she was beating the child with some stick or big spoon. This was making the child cry more. At last the owner made them vacate the house.

it is certainly a child's cry especially when we were very much tired and fast asleep and if a child starts crying, it is simply nerve breaking and irritating

i would say, child's cry. when u hear ur child cry, u need to attend to him right away to check why. if everything is okay and the child still persists to cry, that starts ur "panic level" and u just have to think what to do next. a cooker's whistle will stop if u switch the stove off; a train's horn can be regulated but a persistent child's cry is just nerve breaking, especially if the child is an infant who can't say what pains or makes him cry.

Very very true. Train's horn will fade away the moment the train passes your places and goes beyond. But child's cry is a puzzle to be solved with thinking.
