Various reasons exist for why one finds particular stimuli annoying. Measurement of annoyance is highly subjective. As an attempt at measurement, psychological studies on annoyance often rely on their subjects' own ratings of levels of annoyance on a scale. Any kind of stimuli can cause annoyance, such as getting poked in the side or listening to a song repeatedly. Many stimuli that one is at first neutral to, or even finds pleasant, can turn into annoyances from repeated continued exposure. One can often encounter this phenomenon with such media as ], ]s, ], and ], which by their very nature are continually repeated over a period of weeks or months.

A study published in the ''International Journal of Conflict Management'' found that one's response to an annoyance, at least when the perceived cause is another person, escalate to more extreme levels as they go unresolved.<ref>Dean G Pruitt, John C Parker, Joseph M Mikolic. "Escalation as a reaction to persistent annoyance.", ''International Journalists of Conflict Management.'' Bowling Green: July 1997, Vol 8, Issue 3; pg. 252</ref> It also found that one was more likely to blame the party who was causing the annoyance in the study, rather than one's self, for the annoyance as it escalated.

] can involve creating annoyances to distract and wear down the resistance of the target. For example, in 1993, the ] played music "specifically selected for its irritation ability" on loudspeakers outside the ] church in ] in an attempt to bring about the surrender of ] and his followers.<ref>Mark Potok.
