What sound did researchers at the State University of New York New Paltz discover to be the most irritating to humans?

.

Answer: Whining.

MSNBC reports "A new study has found that the power of whining to distract people while doing simple math was even greater than other noises that people typically find annoying. It didn’t matter whether someone was a parent or not."

Note: the annoying whining sounds studied were emitted by children, not by end-users whose computers "won't load."
