The worst offenders are the NCIS and Law & Order series. To me it's not the shutter sound that grates, it's the motor drive film advance that drives me nuts (except for the older reruns).
That, and basic camera handling technique, like not moving an inch in any direction, yet firing off 3 or 4 frames, and moving in closer with a zoom lens when all they needed to do is zoom the lens. Finally - where is the sound of the lens/camera auto focusing? No one ever wraps their hand around a lens barrel and twists it! Garumph!
