No one here has mentioned the most horrific noise that has come into existence only a few years ago.

I am talking about apps like Facebook, Instagram suddenly playing sound of a video at full blast when it scrolls into view in a feed.

God I hate these apps and this thing called smartphone that has taken over our lives.

Fuck all this modern shit. We should have never come out of the caves.

Then just don’t use those apps? I don’t, and nobody above 30 in my circle does. No need stay in caves, just adapt some culture.
I don't do, but can't stop my spouse sitting beside me from doing that ... Hence the problem .. :-)
I hear you! Literally.

And its the first 4 or 8 bars of a song (usually a modern cover or remix of older song) on a loop.

It is waterboarding for the ears.

Autoplay videos themselves need to stop being a thing.
