* If complaining about noise from a busy street. You can use any of them, but they have slightly different meanings: That noise upsets me. Means the noise makes you unhappy, or worried. That noise bothers me. Can mean the same as upset: makes you worried. But it can also mean that you are busy doing something and it annoys you or interrupts you. That noise disturbs me. Can mean the same as upset: makes you worried or anxious. But it can also mean that it interrupts you (maybe you were working or sleeping) or keeps you from relaxing. :) Scott
