Oh, yes, babies/children's noise really gets to me, too. It seems like they have this habit of shrieking that sounds like it can cut through glass. The other day I was in a bookstore, and had to use the bathroom. There was a woman and her child in there, and the kid was making these "happy noises" at some ungodly volume. I think I broke the world record for peeing just so that I could get out of there. Whatever happened to "use your indoor voice"?
