Annoying people suck

The neighbors with the annoying dogs that live a few doors down are also annoying. I was trying to figure out what makes them annoying to me. I think I have it figured out - volume. The dogs loudly bark. The woman talks loudly in her West Allis accent. The man loudly proclaims his drunken abilities. The child loudly shouts imaginary threats at other children. But why is this annoying? I have been known to be loud. But, not every day. Not all the time. And is it my preference for a quiet neighborhood that makes it annoying? We don't have numerous other loud people to gauge them against. Would they be annoying if everyone were loud most of the time? I think they would.
