Lately, I’ve been extremely irritated at the sound of stomping, from inside and outside of my home. I honestly can’t tell if my roommate is stomping on purpose but he walks on his heels and it sounds like a thunderclap every time he steps. My neighbor is pretty loud too. Back when I lived with my parents, my family would also walk on their heels, which was intensified by the wood floor.
Someone mentioned the sound of basketballs bouncing and I have a vague memory of disliking that too. But, it’s been a while since I heard someone bouncing a ball on the street. For some reason, it’s only irritating when I’m inside and I hear faint noises outside. When I’m at a sports complex and I hear hundreds of basketballs bouncing at once, I’m not bothered at all.
