Snoring, loud eaters and the 'Go Compare' song have been named among the nation's most annoying noises, a study has revealed.
一项研究显示，打呼噜、吃饭吧唧嘴和“比价网”主题曲是全英国最令人抓狂的声音。

It also emerged that silence really is golden for 84 per cent of Brits, who say they spend less than ten minutes a day enjoying real peace and quiet.
研究还发现，84%的英国人认为安静时光像黄金一样珍贵，据说他们每天真正能享受到的宁静时光还不到10分钟。

And on average Brits would pay over £310 for just ONE HOUR of silence, if they couldn't get it any other way.
如果别无他法，他们平均愿意拿310欧元购买一小时的静默时光。
