Particular triggering noises? Kids playing basketball in the neighbor's yard, kids screaming during play, cars playing music with bass loud enough where you can hear the car rattling, and...coughing / clearing one's throat.
For most of these things, I imagine people also get annoyed with these sounds when trying to focus on work, as I do. But even if I'm doing something that I don't consider important (e.g. cooking, watching TV, etc.), my heart rate goes up and I get irritable. This all only irritates me when I'm at home. Maybe it's the feeling of not being able to change the environment around me (i.e. the feeling of being trapped as mentioned in the article)?
