What's the most annoying music possible?
The house next door to me is going up for sale soon and I’d like to delay that process as much as possible. What would be the most annoying music I could play when prospective buyers are next door?

When German people go to hell, or skiing, they are forced into little tents, served shitty overpriced beer, and are subject to repeated blows to their ears by a type of parasitic earworm whispered fearfully only in dark circles as "schlagermusik".
Once exposed to it, it eats into their brain and gets behind their eyeballs, forcing them to wear manic grins, and tap tables to the weak, incoherent, barely thought out beats drumming mercilessly into what's left of their soul.
Oktoberfest?
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the Month of the Beast
For it is a Human Month...
Oo-la-pa-loo
I was going to say polka music but this is close enough
That's pretty accurate, actually. Same goes for "Apres Ski", which is the same but more annoying and sexist.
Christian Rock
There's a McDonald's down the block from me that plays nothing but Christian music all the damn time. I honestly feel bad for the employees.
Oml can't stand that shet polluting the airwaves
I'm not certain about the most annoying, but this song is pretty bad
Exactly what I expected. Saved me from posting it, thank you.
Thank you for this
Exactly what I expected to find in the comments
A low pitched hum that they don't even notice until they leave and appreciate the silence when they're away from it.
Calm down satan.
(Top answer though)
i already have tinnitus; i literally can't sleep without some noise to block it out.
Mine drove me crazy for the first few years. Now i notice it a lot less. Sometimes if i put that ear on my pillow the wooshing drowns out the screeching.
The dreaded B note
Every Christmas song ever.
“Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney is the worst song of all time and I’m willing to die on this hill
The moon is right
I submit that these songs aren't necessarily terrible but terribly overplayed to the point that they're painful.
I swear half of Mariah Carey's fortune is Christmas songs alone.
Also the whole "Boomers spent their entire lives and our entire lives trying to re-live their own childhood Christmases," since the majority of original Christmas songs are from that period.
Also some people love Christmas music so this could backfire.
Care to elaborate why?
They want to dissuade buyers by being a conspicuously noisy and annoying neighbor to the point that the house sits empty for a while.
Which, like, if your first thought is to do this, maybe you actually are an annoying neighbor and you're doing everyone a favor by letting them know.
Hey at least they're open with it. I'd have love to have known that my neighbours were cunts before I'd move in. Sometimes a simple sign short of a burning poop bag is a nice olive branch.
They are going to only get neighbors that also suck, and since it has to sell lower it will lower their own home value.
OP is really punching their own nutsack here.
Family member wants to buy it and we want to dissuade other potential buyers. Plus the old owners are dicks so fuck ‘em.
Sounds like you guys are the dicks honestly.
The only way to defeat a dick is a bigger, floppier, girthier dick
Hey uh, this plan can get you sued under tortious interference. So remember to not brag about it. Also much better way is just to take up a noisy hobby like woodworking, drumming or fixing motorbikes.
I’ve been wrong before but I don’t see this post linking back to me.
Just play loud ass black metal. The music doesn't have to be bad, It just needs to scare normies.
Edit: I thought of the most annoying music ever. Crunkcore! Play some Blood on the Dancefloor and people will fuck off to avoid listening to that shit.
Oh man, you weren't kidding. That's just objectively bad.
Right? It's the fucking worst.
Reggaeton
Cam here to say this. The beat was catchy the first time I heard it but it is so annoying when they repeat the same thing 200 times in a song. Not creative at all .
This. Most annoying thing I've ever heard.
This is the one, OP. Enjoy it while it lasts, some day this stuff will be restricted by treaty inshallah.
Baby Shark
I was thinking this one, thanks!
There's always the risk that people who visit the house next door are into whatever annoying music you're playing and end up moving there and blasting it for the rest of your life
I'll raise "Sales Call Abyss", a hold music made for torturing telemarketers if you have access to your work's phone exchange
I mean honestly through a wall the only annoying music is thumpy bass with a big subwoofer. Unless you're playing it suuuuuuper loud.
They’ll be looking at the backyard for this property so walls not needed. There’s only about 6 feet that will separate their property from my Bluetooth speakers.
Then kids bop.
Regeaton and Trap 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Apparently you never listened to Young Dolph
Who?
Skrillex
What's that dolphin-sounding song someone played during sex in that meme? That.
Alternatively, the brown note (assuming it's real).
Or like hardcore noise stuff. Is "Wall of sound" a type of it?
Edit: How could I forget Ram Ranch?
Cbat by Hudson Mohawke?
Yes! Cbat hahaha. Thanks.
It is, and always will be, children's music, like Baby Shark.
*takes extra deep breath
...this is the song that doesn't end / yes it goes on and on my friends / some people started singing it not knowing what it was / and they'll keep on singing it forever just because / this is the song that never ends / yes it goes on and on my friends...
Fuck I hated middle school
But I love Lambchop!
It is a horrible earworm, very true.
Edit - Aww, not the Lambchop version.
I have a love-hate relationship with that song. I'll have to purge with a doco later, thanks! 😁
You need to look up Komar & Melamid. They did market research art, and they commissioned "The Least Favorite Song" after a survey that showed the least favorite features of songs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People%27s_Choice_Music#The_Most_Unwanted_Song
Why annoying?
Based on what kind of people they are, you might be able to get away with something else. Maybe play some Christian music if you think they don't want to live next to a god-botherer. If you're bible-belt, put one of those 24 hour Mecca livestreams on loud, and go do your grocery shopping or something.
If you want just plain annoying, you can't go wrong with Justin Bieber or tween pop.
Christian music would definitely backfire where I’m from
I'd break out the heavy metal or anything else that sounds "demonic"
A novelty Christmas song played six months after it spent six plus weeks at number one in the (TOTP) charts. "Aga do" anyone?
[Not sure that any recent charts in this century are worth a damn.]
Can't go wrong with the Goat Simulator soundtrack. https://youtu.be/DHdpuzqD2wg
Clown Core is for those with discerning tastes.
Limburg Carnaval music. Hoompapa hoompapa…or Darude - Sandstorm on repeat.
If it won't get you in trouble, throw some cheap lawn ornaments up as well. Maybe get creative with loose hubcaps.
No HOA thankfully. I’d paint my house with big, veiny, throbbing dicks if I thought it’d do the trick.
This indeed would probably do the trick
It's something that I don't know whether it's a dying subgenre ofa subgenre (genre?), but the nightcore music where all they do is speed up the music and shift the pitch. Literally no other edits. I would be running fast if a neighbor of mine started blasting that.
My highschool blasted Christmas in Ignace - Arrogant Worms every single day during fundraising drives, they'd stop when they hit their goals. Was very effective.
Anything played with the recorder
chicken dance it whatever the hell it's called
In high school we called it “Worship the Chicken Before It Destroys You”
Earthbound - Inside Dungeon Man
Love the soundtrack but hate this doozy
Incredible. I wonder what the vocals are.
Speaking of video games, This from World of Goo might work if OP wants a bit more subtlety.
The beginning (end is similar) is the only part that's in the game and despite sounding pretty generic it somehow manages to be deeply unsettling in some way.

Those first two are great but that Shoenberg piece... Man, some things are best left on paper.
Joe Pasquale sings it
I'm so sorry.
Opera singing and high pitched violin
The Cattle Callin album buy Hank III. Every song is "music" played along with cattle auctioneers doing their thing
Play banana phone on repeat 24/7 at max volume
Why try to delay it? Also trying to buy a house in this economy sheesh
Reggae can be fun, especially to dance to, but when heard through a wall, you mostly hear the bass and all reggae has the same bass track. It's almost comical, like that beat is a requirement of the genre. After hours of reggae you'll wanna smash that stereo.
Someone went ahead of me and mentioned Nightcore, but I'll add any song by DJ KHALED would work too.
The ice cream truck in my area plays the calliope version of “It’s a Small World” every summer, every day, and I want to burn it all down when I hear it. Alternatively, you could plays sounds that are above the adult frequency of hearing if they have children. The kids will be super annoyed and the adults will have no idea it’s even happening. Look up the “mosquito tone”.
The noise genre
How can you not love this? ;D
Oh my god, those shoes are hideous!
I don't know what to say
I always found noise music to be more intriguing than annoying. I still haven't met a single person who listens to noise music and enjoys it.
Genuine question: What's so fascinating about it? I've tried unironically listening to it, but there's just no melody to latch onto; I wonder how one can enjoy it
I don't know, the whole premise of it being somehow calming or something.
One user once tried to explain his fascination for Drone Doom to me; they said that it had a lot to do with feeling the "weight" of the music. Maybe it's the same with noise? There's something undeniably raw and visceral about it.
Noise Rock can be good, but only because the Rock part re-introduces actual musical elements.
Something like this could get interesting
Love this
This is not a judgement of the musical genre and I think it's way more profound and expressive than the average commodified pop music we have. However, I remember making a report about the history of music (for an arts appreciation class in college) and I ended the report with some Japanoise (a genre of noise music) like this one:
https://youtu.be/L7p_C9OlN40
The teacher was really delighted, but my classmates were like "WTF?"
EDIT: Reworded some confusing sentence construction
happy hardcore
If you really want the sale to not happen, put any brazilian funk on max volume. "Proibidão" for the worst of the worst
Alright. Y'all ever hear about the shaggs?
A dad was told by a fortune teller that his yet-unborn kids were destined for musical stardom. After that, the dad had no choice but to force his eventual kids into a band.
These kids had no musical training. No sense of rhythm, no sense of pitch.
Their released music is the auditory equivalent of a child's crayon drawing hung on the fridge. It's astoundingly disjointed. It's all wrong. Frank Zappa said they're better than the Beatles. SOMEONE out there likes screamo. Some folks out there like bagpipes. Then what happens? Your neighbor loves blasting screamo. You've played yourself. Unless Frank Zappa is moving in, you'd be hard pressed to find a potential buyer that like the shaggs.
Enjoy.
Baaabyyyyyy SHARK! Dolodolldoo, Baby shark dolldollodoo, baby shark !
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves.
For me, it has to do with context.
Upbeat pop music while heading to the finish line of a 5k? Pretty good.
Upbeat pop music while I'm waiting in the psychiatrist's office so I can tell them my life is spiraling out of control? Not preferable.
The Crazy Bus Title Scree theme
You will Annoy the shit out of people if you play this, especially '@@@@@' at full volume

Edit: I take it back. This is awesome. Those laser guns are legit.

Also, you'll probably need eye bleach and a sanity check after a few times watching or listening to that.

Once described to me as "a song you can club someone to death with"
Link.
Not sure about annoying, but have you considered psyopus? It tends to be my goto to piss people off
Scat
It's not necessarily the most annoying- but to give an impression that you are people you do not want to live next to, just crank some psytrance. I love me a good doof party, but holy shit I would not want to live next to one.
Crazy Frog
har har but it's the entire orchestral score
Turn on the radio (to a contemporary pop station) and you'll see. Especially with all that christmas music right now.
Shaboozey
Anything Morgan Wallen.
I dont know its Name, but there was once some phonk music in my local tech store that mostly just repeated „toma toma toma” by the most annoying sounds in existence. Its cover was red. If anyone knows it, please tell me
Country
Username does not check out
Tis possible to be from Texas and still hate country
That would actually have the opposite impact where I live sadly
Nyam cat for sure
German "Schlager"
Rap.
Nightcore and heavy mental.
I vote for Japanische Kampfhörspiele!
That has a little too much rhythm for me. I’d recommend some Fushitsusha
Rap and hip-hop. The "message" of EVERY rap song is "look at my dick." It's pathetic pointless crap, that's one step above banging rocks together.
Ignorant bullshit. There's whole generas of rap and hip hop that you're unaware of. There's hip hop songs about drinking tea ffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELH0ivexKA
This is just... racism?
Its easy to find sexuality-focussed songs in literally any genre, from classical to jazz. And one of the most highly regarded hip hop tracks of all time is 2pacs ode to his mother.
No, it's just shit music. Thanks for playing the "racism" game.
That is a different point entirely. Your initial criticism was that the lyrical content was only about penises, now you're saying that your subjective preference is the only consideration on a wide umbrella genre-of-genres.
Why should anyone care that you're saying "I don't like thing?"
No, you immediately squealed "racism" rather than make an argument for the contributions of rap / hiphop. I imagine this tactic has worked for you many times.
You picked a racist trope about a predominantly black genre. It is a very common racist stereotype dating back hundreds of years to claim that people of African (and other black) heritage are more sexually aggressive than other cultures.
Even if you didn't intend it, or weren't aware of that, I am telling you now there is a well documented history of such intent.
