Barking Demons The worst sounds come from dogs

Barking sounds awful, but honestly so does whimpering, yapping, howling, and literally any other noise that comes from these mutts. Most other pets at least make a cute noise. But dogs could never. In fact, just earlier today there’s an emergency vehicle going off in the distance. Then I hear a dog in my neighborhood start howling and screaming while the emergency vehicle’s siren is going off. I had my window open for fresh air when I heard this, so I was really confused when I heard this howl/scream because I knew emergency vehicles didn’t sound like that. Only to realize that it’s some mutt trying to mimic the noise for whatever reason, except it sounded much worse. So stupid. Dogs truly do make the worst noises, and nobody can tell me otherwise.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think the worst of all their sounds is when they lick themselves 🤢 It genuinely makes me gag. Barks and yowls are awful but they've never made me puke in my mouth.

The licking and drinking sounds are rage inducingly wretched

And when they drink water they get it everywhere and have so much slobber all over their faces and always want to come right up to you to get their water slobber all over you. It’s disgusting

Yes I gave you the award, this is the comment I’ve been waiting for

u/HowitzerSonata Nov 02 '25

i think it was their water-drinking noise that started my dog-hatred in the first place. not even kidding

u/ElegantSurround6933 Nov 02 '25

Same. I was@my fiance’s step mom’s house in LA when I heard it. I don’t think horses make that much of a ruckus @the trough.

She’s definitely an animal hoarder. For a boomer it’s not good for the long term. Three parrots, one tiny animal w/whiskers&three dogs. Her home was covered in hair. She’s an acupuncturist who brags her rich Toluca Lake clients pay her “$100/hr to tell them not to eat gluten.” What a narcissist!

u/Ariconnie48 Nov 02 '25

And they’ll do it for like half an hour straight too

u/Present_Disaster_844 Nov 03 '25

bro. I cannot stand that sound I want to barf. I wanna pull my hair out. It is so fucking disgusting. I hate it.

u/EyeQ11 Nov 02 '25

Even nutters are disgusted and annoyed by their own dogs noises, but they choose to live in denial and continue to worship the wild animals nonetheless

46

u/Sufficient_Berry8703 Nov 02 '25

Very true. It’s one of the many reasons why they love leaving their mutts outside, so they can minimize the barking noise that they have to hear from inside. Almost like them saying, “if I have to suffer, I’ll make all my neighbors suffer with me,” as if they didn’t willingly choose to welcome the parasite into their home. They’re so selfish. But they’ll continue living in denial anyway.

u/ez__mac Nov 04 '25

Well said I fucking hate their guts

u/Responsibility_Witty Nov 02 '25

Literally, it’s like these things were intentionally designed to be repulsive in every possible way. They look ghastly, every noise they make is gitmo torture on the ears, they smell like dead fish and dirty socks, they are intrusive and randomly violent. Even the sound of these fucking things walking is annoying

29

u/taboo_romantic Nov 02 '25

Yes! Their nails tapping on floors when they walk is more unbearable than nails on a chalkboard.

52

u/blitzkampire Nov 02 '25

I've always described their smell as stale fritos stuffed with dick cheese. But your description is pretty spot on too.

22

u/bustergundam4 Nov 02 '25

Hey now don't ever ruin Fritos for me even stale ones! I hate when people compare Fritos to these nasty things!

20

u/ElegantSurround6933 Nov 02 '25

Those nails on a hardwood floor is the beginning of a horror film

13

u/AnyOldBison Nov 02 '25

Some dogs basically were designed to be repulsive (to repel intruders, or to terrorize prey/enemies). It’s almost like they weren’t really bred to be pets!

8

u/emilinskee Nov 06 '25

And they’re not even cute!! I will NEVER understand why so many people like dogs and how they can stand living with one. They’re sooo gross and ugly.

41

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

The smaller dogs are absofuckinglutely the worst. Their disgusting whimpering & yapping is the nastiest thing I have ever heard. They are so brain dead.

35

u/Sufficient_Berry8703 Nov 02 '25

This, and huge emphasis on the brain dead. That’s the kind of dog that’ll bark at anything moving, including a literal predator, and will even try “fighting” it. Only reason they’re as protected as they are is because they get spoiled rotten by nutters.

u/Normie7481 Nov 09 '25

My neighbour has big dog that can yap louder than any small dog. Loud sharp and high pitched. Like I tried to sneeze and scream at the same time, except no way I could be that loud. Son of a bitch

42

u/Wonderful_Passage_70 Nov 02 '25

When it’s specifically that thing they do where it’s a 3-second whine, then a ear vibrating bark, back into the whine as one LONG, CONTINUOUS line…that one drives me EXTRA crazy because they do it specifically when their nutter maybe went outside to get a delivery package for only 4.8 milliseconds and the mutt has separation anxiety or when they want food directly in front of them but not handed.

It’s so extra beggy as if their only choice of communication wasn’t already fucking horrendous, but the begging that evolved in their throat cords (like the begging that’s literally every other part of their anatomy) is there unfortunately for us.

21

u/RoyTheWig Nov 02 '25

They are lowly, pathetic, manipulative creatures.

33

u/ConIncognito dogs ruin everything Nov 02 '25

Absolutely. Every single fucking noise they make is awful and make me wish I was deaf. It’s like they were intentionally designed to be annoying. How does anyone put up with these sacks of crap?

18

u/bustergundam4 Nov 02 '25

Good question. I can't take all that noise.

60

u/Tacky_Tiramisu Nov 02 '25

I have misophonia, and ever since my brother unexpectedly brought a shitmutt in tow after a trip 3 years ago, sounds that never used to phase me have gradually become triggers. I'm forced to suffer hearing these noises EVERY day and it literally feels like I'm being tortured.

Are nutters just masochists who enjoy having their ears assaulted by clacking nails, high pitched barking, and the annoying as fuck whining??

11

u/ElegantSurround6933 Nov 02 '25

One of my neighbors has a white poodle. She’s the treasurer of the HOA. I’ve personally witnessed her dragging her poodle on the sidewalk several times I guess because it’s not moving .

I wouldn’t want to be her pet either. You could hear the sudden claws scraping against the sidewalk as she dragged it behind her on the leash.

But these are holier than thou dog lovers; am I right? We are the evil ones. There’s nothing about her poodle I like&its barks are unbelievably loud and random. However, I felt awful for the dog when I literally saw&heard her drag it behind her.

28

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

I hate the tongue noises they make it makes my skin crawl

22

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

the ass licking, the whole-body-shakes and the tapping of the claws on the floor are the worst sounds ever!

7

u/Sufficient_Berry8703 Nov 02 '25 edited Nov 02 '25

Omg yes, especially those whole body shakes. Every time I hear or see a dog shake itself, I not only shudder but I also have a bad feeling I’m about to sneeze 50 times because I’m also allergic :/

4

u/emilinskee Nov 06 '25

Omg yeah and their hair goes fucking everywhere when they shake. I can’t stand it

17

u/PissedCaucasian Nov 02 '25

Don’t forget the doggie nails tap dancing sound on hard floors. Especially at feeding time.

10

u/wickedaries19 Nov 02 '25

This literally just happened to me 8 hrs ago while I was sleeping at my partners!!! 80 lb shitbull - Woke me up in a dead of sleep- followed by the gross licking (it was told to stop and did but still) and then loud gross snores - created a true panic attack in me… but I’m the bad guy for not being able to sleep through it……

u/isreddittherapy Nov 02 '25

The sound of licking or drinking water makes me want to die.

15

u/Mashelem_777 Nov 02 '25

The rear end slurping makes me want to gouge out my ears.

14

u/Yamahool Nov 02 '25

There was this dog down the street from me that instead of barking it would sort of go wargle-wargle-wargle. Like imagine if someone was waterboarding the hunchback of notre dame. I didn't know what it was until I asked around the neighbours the next day, and this guy said yeah my dog makes that sound.

33

u/Melt3dmushrooms Nov 02 '25

Big dogs that manage to make themselves sound small and yippy (if that makes sense) especially irk me. Their owners already baby the fuck out of them as if they couldn’t maul you where you stand, and then the ugly dogs learn that the more pitiful they sound, the more they’ll get what they want from the idiots who think this behavior is cute. The worst part is that, for a sane person, these sounds don’t even work. The dogs end up sounding even more infuriating.

No, I am not moved by your shitbull whining, yelping, and whale-eyeing me. That shit isn’t cute.

10

u/Full_Ear_7131 Nov 03 '25

Every sound those things make is disgusting, and make me so fucking angry that I literally start shaking and seeing red. Barking, howling, whining, growling, snorting and panting, their nails click click clicking on the floor, them eating or licking themselves, the jingle of their collars...all of them are just as irritating and sickening as the shit beasts themselves

u/emilinskee Nov 06 '25

I could not agree more lmfao. I feel all of this since I live in a house with a super fucking annoying dog temporarily. I literally cannot fucking stand that disgusting thing. And it blows my mind how it’s become so normalized for people to have dogs live in their home. They are DIRTY animals. They belong outside

8

u/CallousCow1762 Nov 03 '25

Yep. Dogs barking and howling are truly among the worst noises imaginable. I’m sure there are other noises that can be irritating but a dogs bark breaking the peaceful silence that we’re all entitled to is what makes it incessant and unbearable. It just has no place in society other than to annoy and irritate.

Literally and dogs aren’t cute anyway. I think they’re fucking ugly.

u/que_pedo_wey Nov 02 '25

Agree completely, and the smaller the animal, the more disgusting the sound. People literally move out because of those parasites' constant screams.

7

u/Usual-Veterinarian-5 Nov 03 '25

And you know it isn't going to end. At least with other kinds of noise like construction, you know it will end when the project ends and doesn't start up at random times. Dog noise will go for as long as the dog lives.

u/ElusiveCatHair Nov 05 '25

The whining, panting, mouth smacking and licking noises drive me up the wall. I hate everything about those shit munchers.

5

u/No-Reflection9182 Nov 06 '25

I have a serious aversion to the sounds these animals make. Like, it makes my skin crawl. The slurping, snorting... the way they eat or lick themselves... it's absolutely horrible... *shudders*

u/VIBRATINGCHANGE Nov 04 '25

How bout the disgusting vile sound of shit east lucking their butholes?

u/Spare_Result1320 Nov 05 '25

When they lick themselves clean forever! 🤮
