Sounds can soothe us, bring us joy, or excite us. But they can also frighten or disturb us.

Reddit user thedaringtomcat asked "What's the worst sound you've ever heard?"

Here are the spine tingling results.

Love

[rebelmouse-image 18360328 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Cats mating.

Scream

[rebelmouse-image 18360329 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Rpanicked agony he emitted when he thought I was dead.

Love Call

[rebelmouse-image 18360330 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

A Fox doing a mating call at night is f'ing horrifying it basically sound like someone getting murdered.

Ear-Splitting

[rebelmouse-image 18360292 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Air raid sirens.

Other Worldly

[rebelmouse-image 18360331 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The noise the aliens make in the remake of War of the Worlds. Makes me shudder.

Mournful

[rebelmouse-image 18360332 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I never knew a death rattle was real.

The worst sound I've ever heard was while I held my great grandmas hand as she was dying. It was bone cancer, stage 4. She went to the hospital not feeling quite right, a week later she died.

Haunting

[rebelmouse-image 18360333 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The scream and crunching from a co-worker getting his sleeve then arm caught in the 60 quart dough mixer at work.

Warning

[rebelmouse-image 18360334 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The high pitched noise they constantly play in certain areas that only kids ears can pick up to keep them away. I'm 24 and still hear it.

Mother

[rebelmouse-image 18360335 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

My mother in law's night terrors. She's so loud it goes through the walls. It's like listening to a turkey get terrorized, then strangled.

Alarming

[rebelmouse-image 18360336 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I'm terrified of the Amber Alert sound...

Death

[rebelmouse-image 18360337 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The scream of a dying animal.

Cruelty

[rebelmouse-image 18360338 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Apparently people used to castrate boys so that they would keep their singing voice forever, since their voice would never break. I think they were called Castratos? I heard a recording of one singing a few years ago and it was utterly haunting. The creepiest thing I've ever listened to.

Let's Talk

[rebelmouse-image 18360339 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

"We need to talk." - From just about anyone. It could be relationship problems, job problems, my mom breaking bad news about my grandma... I've never heard those words in a good context.

Constant

[rebelmouse-image 18360340 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Tinnitus.

Scraping

[rebelmouse-image 18360341 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Knife and fork on a plate.

One minute I'm cutting a steak, the next minute I have a neck cramp.

Snap, Crackle, Pop

[rebelmouse-image 18360342 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When I broke my ankle, I heard a loud POP of the bone snapping just before the pain hit. I had a split second of "oh sh*# that didn't sound good" just before "OH SH!# THAT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD EITHER"

Among the many reasons people watch, and rewatch, sitcoms is to imagine your life was more like the one you were watching.

Being able to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village on a line cook's salary, somehow always having the comfortable sofa available at your favorite coffee shop whenever you pop in, or having your best friends always available at your beck and call whenever you need them.

For the romantics, however, it's wishing you could have a romance like you've seen on television.

True not all sitcom romances are exactly the sort that makes you go all aflutter (Were Ross and Rachel actually on a break? And don't even get me started about Ted and Robin.)

Other sitcom couples are so captivating, though, that we would have given anything to be at their wedding... or at the very least go to their home for dinner every Friday.

And this includes plutonic couples, as there is nothing more heartwarming than a lasting friendship.

As an editor, I am not just in charge of proofreading and correcting style and format. I am also in charge of making sure all the contact information provided, such as phone numbers and emails, work.

After working for 10 hours straight a few months ago, I forgot to check the phone numbers and let a brochure go to publication with a phone number that did not work.

Luckily, a similar mistake had actually happened before with another editor for another client a year prior, so contact info on print materials like this brochure were checked by every department rather than just editorial, and the mistake was caught.

Since I didn't know this, when I heard the phone number was wrong, my heart dropped to my stomach and I thought I was sure fired. Luckily, I was just told to make sure this never happens again. I was relived that there was no fallout, but when I first heard what happened, my only thought was. 'I totally f**ked up!'

Redditors are no strangers to this feeling, as they've made egregious mistakes themselves. They are only too eager to share their experiences.

With the world's finances the way they are, it's a miracle if people can save their spare change.

Inflation has a stronghold on too many people.

Sometimes it feels like just breathing can cost you money.

It's hard to make and absurdly easy to lose.

So be vigilant with your wallet.

And try to spend on certain things in moderation.

Going out for meals three times a day adds up.

Even with Wendy's value menu.

We all have strong opinions about something, but when we think of opinions, we often think of hot button topics like political subjects.

But as it turns out, sometimes we can have just as strong of opinions of our preferred types of pasta.
