    We got away with it!

    The National Foundation for the Deaf commissioned a survey on what noises New Zealanders find most annoying and could be making them ill physically or mentally, in the lead up to the inaugural Noise Awareness Day, which is today.
    No mention of motorbikes!!

    The most annoying noises:
    1 Boy racer exhausts
    2 Barking dogs
    3 Car alarms
    4 Snoring
    5 Neighbours' stereo noise
    6 Neighbours' DIY noise
    7 Neighbours' lawnmowers
    8 Other people's mobile phones
    9 Planes
    10 Rubbish trucks
    11 Babies crying
    12 Body noises including coughing and humming

    Not to be a wet blanket, but I would think us motorcyclists would fall under the boy racer heading
    At least noisy ones anyway.

    Still, good to know we aren't SPECIFICALLY being singled out...

    You must watch the 4th episode of southparks 13th season.
    Or more specifically, a youtube clip titled 'Road Warrior'.

    Interesting that it's only the neighbours stereo, DIY and lawnmower noise that gets on their goat and not their own. Fucken hypocrite cunts!

    Sports bike riders/Boy racers. All rice.

    Pretty much the same breed of spankers.

    What, you mean that the sound of things breaking/falling off while riding didn't make it?

    There's nothing more annoying than listening to an annoyed person having a whinge.

    Well, it may be on the list - depends what your farts sound like, could sound like : boy racer exhausts, barking dogs, snoring, rubbish trucks, babies crying or coughing and humming!

    Isn't it ironic that the deaf comissioned this study? Wonder if they wish they could hear all these annoyances? Well apart from AllanB's farts.

    Ah you see sir being the upstanding person I am I ensure my farts contain a strong aroma so that the deaf can enjoy them.

    I'd have barking dogs at the top of the list...'specially if they bark at night and live across the gully from me...it's gone now...ht. ht. ht.

    There's one over there now that barks during the day (not so bad coz I'm at work). All day. Every day. If I was at home all day, I think I might creep over and feed it some chocolate...

    I think snoring is well placed.

    There is nothing worse than trying to sleep through snoring, especially with some of the people I've known... they're in their room, and you are down the other end of the hall, about 100 metres or so away, and you can STILL hear 'em.

    *shudder*

    Perhaps, for really excessive snorers, we could force them to sleep in rooms with loosely fitted chandileirs above the bed, so once the excessive snoring happens, said chandiler falls from the ceiling and lands on them?

    Just a thought...
    What you have in your heart will be revealed through what you have in your life.

    If things are going badly in our circumstances, the answer to what is happening to us outwardly is more often than not found in the mirror.
