All those hyper-irritating 1-3 second loops that plague both the game and your long-term memory, likely to your grave.

For me:

Anything minsc says in BG2. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, watch it! I'm huge!" ... Boo loves Minsc'sface too, don't you, Boo? Don't you? Yes!" BOO: *squeak* etc etc etc

That oriental sounding woman in Geneforge 1 that screeches "Aka ababba ba", also some of the tweeting birds.

And, it goes without saying, You must gather you're party before venturing forth.

You're out of line. I sometimes deliberately split my party so I can hear that message in such a deep, soothing voice. You must gather your party. Mmmmm... must I? Tell me again.

The most annoying ones are from Gothic, simply because they remind me of the animations, which must be the worst ever made.

Ha! I know that one. Made me mute the game for some time, until I realized the Geneforge games barely have any sound or music to begin with.

Combat lines uttered by the player character when you have several voices to choose from. They're all fucking terrible. NWN2 and PoE come to mind.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
OP must be joking, Minsc and "you must gather your party before venturing forth" were the best.
