I'm officially old: I HATE LOUD!!!

Loud motorcycles: All that noise and the power goes right out the exhaust.
Loud car stereos: No, not everyone loves your music or do they want to hear it. Even if they might have loved it twenty years ago.
Loud drunk boys and girls at 3A-FUCKING-M IN THE FUCKING GODDAM MORNING. No one but you cares about what you drank, who you're about to screw, who you don't want to screw, who called you a (insert inappropriate sexual shaming term, racially insensitive, genitalia, or incoherent word) whatever. Nor does anyone wish to hear what you were going to do, but never did, because you're a) drunk, b) a (insert inappropriate sexual shaming term, racially insensitive, genitalia, or incoherent word) whatever.
Loud music in restaurants so it's IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITHOUT SHOUTING!

All the above being said, I do like: Fireworks, symphony orchestras from 10 rows back, ROCK AND ROLL(as long as I've got earplugs), and thunderstorms.

Oh yes, I do hate loud tourists, be they Americans, Germans, English or Chinese.

I don't even like fireworks anymore, unless I can watch them on TV with the sound down low.

I am adding movies. Holy crap, are they loud! Another reason I never go.

It was one evening at church and some kids a row ahead of me were horsing around. I felt a bit irritated at their antics after a bit. And realized, "Oh God, I'm turning into my dad!"

Take it easy with the CAPS; they're just a silent way of being LOUD.

Btw - I hate loud, too, for a long time now.

I do not want to seem racist, but I live in a mobile home park with a lot of hispanics and they love to blast that loud booming music from their homes and their cars.

Never could handle high-volume rock concerts, etc. I'm just one of those folks who can't focus without quiet.
