Is it just me or is that "sound" unbearable?

[totem]

I can't say I've run into a house hold device that drives me to the brink like
a recently purchased Dyson V10 cordless vacuum.

It has amazing suction but there's a particular frequency produced that the wife isn't bothered
by but makes me leave the room immediately its like a nail being driven into my noggin.

What commonly used item leaves you running for the nearest exit?

Screaming toddlers/babies. Inane mobile phone conversations. Daytime TV. Political broadcasts. DJT. Most modern music. The list goes on and on.

In the vestibule of a grocery store, shopping carts being slammed together. Screaming kids. Backup alarms on trucks. (I'm sorry someone backed over their kid with a car, but why should everyone else in the world have to endure noise pollution?) Obnoxious "chirping sounds" when people lock and unlock their cars. (What the f*** is the point of this noise pollution?????) Two cycle power lawn tools (blowers, trimmers, etc). (Seriously, they can't put mufflers on these?) Sound reinforcement systems, particularly when operated by idiots. Noisy restaurants. LFE in many movies. Etc.

Leaf Blowers. Their whining sound seems do travel so far. Get a damn rake and get a little exercise!

Leaf blowers.
Diesel pickups that have been modified by their dipshit owners to be as noisy as possible.
45 degree V-twin motorcycles that have been modified by their dipshit owners to be as noisy as possible.

My Nissan Tiida.
When I stop the motor and open the door it BEEP, BEEP, BEEP continually until I remove the key.
Why? I know the door is open! I just opened it! I had to get out! I am not going to walk away leaving the key in it and the door open!

That smacking sound of someone mixing up Kraft macaroni and cheese, I'll get up up and leave the kitchen.

Our prior vacuums drove me crazy. This thing is pretty quiet.
