Oh and I have another vote for the "Duh-Duhd" quasi-music from the American tv show, Law and Order. It is THE most annoying sound...and they do it constantly! I know it's supposed to create tension and signify when they've hit on an important clue or somthing, but just hearing it makes me change the station!
anyone who wants to hear it first hand check this out:

now mind you, they play it loudly and between every scene and when there's an important event.
I've only watched 3/4 of one episode. That was the most I could handle. They played that sound 17 times before I changed the channel! And they use it on the advertising for it constantly! I HATE THIS SOUND!
(I think if my captives used it once and threatened further playings, I'd spill my beans, my neighbors' beans, and anyone else I could think of's beans!)
