The modern world can be a very busy place and with mobile phones, trains and emergency services that busy place can also become rather noisy.

A new study that looked in to the nation’s most annoying noises found that loud eaters, screaming kids – and the “Go Compare” song are all high on the nations list.

Coming first on the list was snoring, with six in ten British adults wishing they could do away with the intrusive nightly sound effects from the other side of the bed.

Home is no sanctuary

An interesting find of the study was that the most irritating sounds happen in the home – with one in ten people naming their partner as the biggest culprit of the sounds that drive them up the wall.

It appears that Brits irritation towards noises can be more than just a minor annoyance with more than one in ten having considered dumping their partner due to their annoying aural habits, while eight per cent have either dumped or been dumped because of it.

Noisy neighbours, other members of the family and a loud washing machine are also among the annoying home-based noises, with one in ten putting up with a noisy appliance.
