    The "whoosh" sound you hear when your "hidden" eye suddenly becomes "DETECTED".

    Nothing else compares; not even close.
    Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
    "Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""

    The loading screen music. In particular the screeching violins. Maybe it's because I spend so much time in loading screens but it's like fingernails on a chalkboard...

    The extremely high-pitched whine of the ancestor moth pet. I remember getting it and wanting to use it, but I straight up can't because the sound gives me a headache. Apparently it's so high-pitched some people can't hear it at all. But I can. And it's gods awful... something that was complained about earlier on the forums even:

    I find it really comforting oddly.

    Oooo I was joltingly reminded just now of the NPCs who are halfway across town but sound like they're SHOUTING in your ear.

    "I PREFER THE COLD MOON INN..."

    "THE WOOD ELF KNOWN AS FINEDRIN..."

    I can't even see you! Why are my ears bleeding!

    Just recently got my first Indrik to go with the nature theme of my Warden. I must say, they could have done a better job on the sound it makes.

    The sound from Hitting the log out button.

    I only get a few hours a week to play due to work and everything else, so I don't like hearing the log out sound knowing that this might be the last time I'll be able to play again this week. Sigh. 😁

    The gurgle that kotu gava make when they notice you. (They are also my most hated creature.)

    Have you ever noticed they sound a little like they're saying something in some creepy bug language? I swear I can hear syllables in their noises. It's why I call them the talking mosquitos. They are gross.

    I'm surprised so many people hate the indrik barks! I think it's adorable. They are cheering for us. My friend and I are constantly saying "woot woot woot!" at each other in voice chat when our indriks do it. xD

    a few contenders in order:

    1) The collectors horse which comes with Imperial City
    2) The sound of Imbue Weapon (psijic skill).
    3) Elk mount special
    4) indrik mount running sounds

    You mean the beautiful "bloop-fart-bloop-fart-bloop-fart" sound? That's a classic 👌

    Omg I thought I was the only one who thought it sounded like the kotu gava is talking. Nice to know I'm not alone because most people treat me like I'm weird for it.

    As for the indrik I did hate it at first, but it's grown on me. Now the mindshriven horse's scream otoh. Cool mount, intolerable sound.

    That is disgusting, but in a delightful way. One of my characters is a retired veteran mudball thrower.

    Absolutely hate the wolf barks. Their howl already sounds unnatural but the bark is so awful

    I also hate that gong sound when your inventory / bank is full, but I think that's only because I hear it way too often for some strange reason...

    Not to mention "drAgONs In yOur OwN hoMeLAnD" and all the constantly repeating NPC lines. I love ESO for all it's spoken dialogue and the many random lines it has, but hearing the same line in every single city is too much.

    I found a new one! The sound of the flute when you find stuff for the Bards college. It stinks of "incoming bard class".

    I swear if they make a Bard class, and I see anyone killing daedra with a magic drum and flute, i'll skull drag them all into a lava pit and throw mudballs at them.

    I was reminded recently how unpleasant I find the flute in the New Life festival tent. For some reason, my brain keeps it in the same category as fingernails on a chalkboard, crying babies, howling puppies, etc.

    I can tune out all manner of special effects, fighting, healing spam, and emotes, but that freakin flute penetrates my brain and demands that nothing else can be thought about until this sound is gone.
