Bad Vibes - University of Salford

"Fingernails scraping down a blackboard... the scream of a baby... your neighbour’s dog barking: what is the worst sound in the world? This is what a new website from Salford University is trying to find out. The aim of the website is to increase awareness of sound psychology, by examining what makes a sound unpleasant to hear. Your votes on the site will also give us an insight into what is the worst sound in the world, and maybe why it is the worst sound. The format of the website is similar to other voting websites (like amihotor not), so click the link, audition some sounds, and let us know how horrible they are; you might even what to download one of our horrible ringtones."
