I think it may be a generational thing but I cannot stand the aound of autotuned vocals. It's like nails on a chalkboard.
luckily my ears are shot so I have a hard time spotting autotune if it's relatively subtle but obviously-autotuned stuff is the worst of all sounds for sure

i really, really hate the part two thirds of the way through every single action movie trailer when the music reaches a frenzied shepard-tone climax, then everything cuts out to dead silence for half a second, then the SUBSONIC boom that is so completely fucking predictable, followed by the frenzied music quickly fading back in and resuming pace.

I think the first sound in every trailer for a film that's not a comedy is the same muffled boom, it sounds like a distant depth charge. Or it's a single sinister mid-high note.

Yeah.
Usually: dead silence -> line of dialogue -> a clip of any character reacting/getting punched (often not actually part of the scene in question) -> SUBSONIC boom (low bass drop?) -> follow up dialogue/punchline -> normal music resumes

I realized during the WKCR bach festival that I really, really hate the english horn and similar instruments, they have this awful, guttural, goose-like sound that also reminds me a little bit of milk being whipped with a utencil.

I don't mind the oboe as much although it's the same family.
Especially bad when played stacatto

It's just a low oboe, really, a loboe in fact.

there's one busdriver song where he raps fast against a flute doing a similar melody to his cadence, and that makes me physically ill...not sure that's a "sound" as much as doubling down on annoying fast-paced rap with an even more annoying flute

*Confessional
Crumhorns, English horns and oboes are among my favorite sounds in the universe. I love quacking reed instruments that are hard to keep in tune.

i don't <3 hoary great hard rock voices where the guy sounds like he's going for somewhere between a baritone and a punk/metal shout. The singers from Bad Religion and Neurosis are the example culprits here

here's a weird one. classically trained singers. something about that way of singing makes them all sound like arrogant pricks.

i hate that hawaiian man that ruined somewhere over the rainbow
listen to aunto molly urso's version of "over the rainbow", it'll unruin it for you
note: according to the internet in 2018, there is no such thing as aunto molly urso, all i have is a rip from a 2011 youtube upload
but it is the best

All sounds and noises are potentially awesome depending on the context but autotune puts that belief to the test for me. Given how poptimistic ILM tends to be, I'm surprised by the relative consensus on this matter. For what it's worth, I do acknowledge that it's become more sophisticated (read: bearable) over the years.

i hate a really squelchy synth sound. there is a sound Animal Collective uses sometimes like there is a slow flange and it is kind of churning and gross. i have heard it in some other electronic songs, it's usually a single note drone pressed over and over. my stomach makes those guy of noises before i throw up so there is a visceral reaction i have.
fwiw i enjoy the band and songs but that sound hahah its just so gross. and i get it, it is very 80s/90s, it makes me think of Gak and Ecto Coolers and the slime stuff that was so big. i think a big part of being a Cold War kid was dealing w normalization of mutants and slime and the real possibilities of nuclear war/apocalyptic imagery that our parents had been raised to live with (hence the retro popularity a lot of the apocalyptic-nostalgic stuff today).
