My personal noise
pet peeves are loud vehicles (more & more common with the proliferation
of trucks & "performance" exhaust systems on every kid's 12 year old
Civic) and barking dogs.

Both are a pain around here. The neighbor has a Ford F-250 with a monster deisel
engine. Has to be able to tow his Quadrunner around on weekends, don't cha know.
For reasons that aren't clear, he thinks he needs to let the engine warm up at
least five minutes during the summer and 20 minutes or more during the winter.
So it sits in his drive banging away every morning.
