What is the most annoying sound?
probably ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok in Lethal Weapon. BUT the Stern fake knocker is a close second
Vuvuzelas by a mile. The sounds of 10,000 vuvuzelas for 90 straight minutes almost ruined the 2010 World Cup for me. At least nails on the chalkboard only lasts a few seconds.
Stern Star Trek's end of ball "Werreeeer". You can hear that from 20 miles away. You can hear it always at a noisy Pinball Expo main floor.

Soccer in general ruins the World Cup for me.

I'll never understand how anyone can dislike that sound, it's actually been my phone's notification sound for years now, lol.
That urp urp urp noise a dog or cat makes before it vomits. . . usually in the middle of the night when you are sound asleep. I swear no one would ever sleep thru their alarm if that was the sound programmed to wake you up.
As far as pinball goes, the sound of "No Flashdrive Detected" (or something similar) coming from my Pinsound Card after I've just installed a new flash drive with a new sound package.
Quoted from Coz:Stern fake knocker sound makes me cringe. Me and my wife hate it
Its what kept me from buying so many Sterns.
Another, blup stern vote here.

Right at the start of a game and I get empty stomach barf.
Nails on the blackboard is the worst for me
Stern fake knocker is almost equal,
Dogs about to barf sure wakes you up fast and
Then two hours to fall back to sleep if you can
Ghostbusters Scream-It is piercing and I know I can turn it off but I love it and hate it at the same time. I do enjoy watching people who have never heard it before freak out and look around.

Stepping in said barf at 2am.

Happened to me at 3:52 this morning. I didn't know I could move that fast. Took forever for me to fall back asleep because I was waiting for round 2.
