My, you lads really are buzzing this afternoon.
Loud people in all their varied forms.
The basic antisocial sort who think it's fine to broadcast their music to the entire bus/train carriage on the tinny phone speaker.
The drunk folks getting out of the taxi at 1 in the morning. I'm not even talking about fighting or loud arguments, it's the slamming car doors and laughing too loudly. FFS there are people asleep... or trying to.
Barbecues. People who seem to think it's their god-given right to get the loudest possible speaker going. And laugh at 200 dB!
Just shut the hell up and be quiet!
I'm not sure which type is worse. Those who are genuinely unaware of their effect on other people, or those who are aware but think they are more important than anybody else.
The above applies to adults who should have developed some basic awareness by now. I don't mind young kids letting off steam, they get a pass.

Gobs with megaphones leading demonstrations, shouting 'Who's streets'?!!, with a crowd reply of 'our streets'!!!, then it gets repeated time after time really annoys me! 🧐

similarly, my microwave feels the need to beep with every press of a button, to notify me that I'm pressing a button, as if the fact that I'm consciously and physically pressing a button and seeing the digital display change accordingly isn't enough and i need an audible notification too.
I don't normally mind a solitary 'beep', though a means of switching it off, or lowering the volume, shouldn't be beyond the wit of man (or woman), should it!

I know a guy who I think* is ridiculously loud at times. I am not sure he actually realises how bad it is at times.
That said, we think he's an undiagnosed autist and he's quite broad physically, so he has a large or deep chest, if that makes sense.
* - Strangely, nobody else thinks he's particularly loud, so clearly it's me who has the problem, so I have had to learn to just grin and bear it.
