Drilling and other nasty noises

There are certain sounds out there, that when you do hear them, your heart stops.

Adrenalin flies through your body and for a split second you are in a total panic.

Do you know what those sounds are?

What is the worst sound for you to hear?

Screeching car brakes
Nails scratching down a blackboard
Glass smashing

There are many.

One that I despise, is one I heard this morning.

It is the sound of the tools in a dentists room starting up. Drilling is the worst but in fact any of the tools are pretty awful. The swishing, zishing, whirring noise somehow just gets under my skin and into my bones. It's a terrible feeling. A visceral reaction. As my mum would say, it puts my teeth on edge. No pun intended.

This morning I had to sit through nearly an hour of these noises and I wouldn't mind, but it wasn't even for me.

Luckily my daughter tolerated them all perfectly well, but for me, it was a yacky experience. It all gets better one the first two seconds are over, but somehow I can't relax until we leave the room.

What's your worst sound? Do tell....
