Sounds that should never be played on the radio

1. Cars Honking
2. Sirens (Police, Fire, Ambulance)
3. Cars crashing

I’m listening to NPR on the way to work and they’re doing this story on catching tropical fish. For some reason they’re playing background sounds of cars honking. I’m looking around trying to figure out who keeps honking at me. These sounds are often omni-directonal, so it’s hard to tell where they’re coming from, especially when your car has speakers in every corner!

Likewise, these sounds are evil when played on a TV:
1. Phones ringing
2. Alarm clocks
3. Babies crying
4. Cats meowing
5. Doorbells

Maybe I should just kill my TV and listen only to my iPod in my car.
