Well, you might not find these annoying to you, but they are. Its just the way he makes them. I'll try to find words to describe best I can.

Errng

and

Oh (you have GOT to believe me on this one!)

and

Ungh
</font>[/QUOTE]So your brother makes all of these noises for the sole purpose of annoying you? Tell him to get a job or something that will occupy his time. That way he has better things to do than keep saying "Errng!" to you.
</font>[/QUOTE]That is the answer in a nutshell. Your brother makes all of these noises for the sole purpose of annoying you. As soon as it no longer bothers you, he'll stop. He's doing it to just to make you mad, so don't let it bother you. Ignore him, and as soon as he realizes that it doesn't affect you he'll stop.
Some will say the best revenge is getting even, I say the best revenge is leading a good life. Just ignore him, he'll stop. Trust me. I speak from experience.

But, thats my whole dilemna. He just WON"T stop! Trust me, I've tried what you suggested: Ignoring. No effect.

"Be like the bamboo in a high wind. Let the air blow and bend with it, it will pass you by. Don't be like the oak tree. It seems strong yet when the winds blow it is uprooted and overthrown." That is a Zen parable that might make it a little easier to put up with a bad sitation. It seems like a law of nature that brothers and sisters annoy and irritate each other. To "win" at this family game you just have to bend like the bamboo, let your brothers wind just pass you by without responding. Eventually (and if he has been doing this for a long time this might mean a month or more) he will give up. The good news is that you then "win" this round. The bad news is that he will try to come up with something else to annoy you.

Spoken by a true wise man. The grass bends with wind, but once the wind subsides, the grass returns to an upright position. Antryg speaks the truth, young Sir Goulum. The best way to win a fight, is to not be there in the first place.

And that's when it comes time to hit him hard, and hit him fast!

The trump card:
step one : find out his deepest, most intimate, most humiliating and socially debilitating secret.
step two : Find the person he respects, admires, likes, looks up to most in the whole wide world.
step three : Subtly (but surely) see that this respected person finds out the victim...err, person's best-kept secret. Whether the respected person cares or not is irrelevant, it should still humiliate the hell out of the target.
step four : sit back and watch their spirit crumble.

Trust me, it works like a charm. But I recommend only using it against truly hated enemies, as you can guarantee that the target will never talk to you favourably again, which is a situation that may be inconvenient to you if the person in question is your brother.

To realy get even just dump a stack of nudie books in his room where your mom or his girlfriend is sure to find them. Then just sit back and wait for the fireworks.

Makes noises back :D

The ignorning does NOT work, trust me. I am a little brother :D . Serouisly, it doesnt work. Or maybe I was just immune to it. They could ignore me all they wanted, I knew it was still getting to them, so I kept doing it. So it doesnt work.

Something always works is messing up there room. Yep, Turn the matress over, dump their trash on the floor, through there stuffed animals around the room (Er, may not be the case with a brother [img]tongue.gif[/img] ). That works usally.

If that doesnt, then atleast try and put up a fight. That always works, yes it does, ignore everyone else [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

Well tahts all I can give you from my experinces.

My brother does exactly the same to me, but if were watching a film, talking about games or playin on the computer then he's great.
Despite the worst parts about brothers theyre also your best friends, now I know your probably like "HELL NO!!" but its true.
They really are the closest people (same for sister-sister to as well as brother-brother) that you will have in your life.
