Common mistakes of annoyed pronunciation

Stress misplacement: Some learners may place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "an-NOYED" instead of the correct "an-NOId" (ˈənɔɪd in US, ˈənɔɪd in UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
Vowel confusion: The vowel sound in "annoyed" can be tricky, leading to mispronunciation as "an-NOY" (ˈænɔɪd). The correct sound is a clear "ə" in the first syllable. Tip: Practice saying "uh" followed by "noyed."
Overemphasis on "d": Some speakers may overly stress the "d" at the end, making it sound harsh. The correct pronunciation is smoother, as in "annoyed" (ˈənɔɪd). Tip: Focus on blending the "d" softly with the preceding vowel.
Dropping the initial vowel: In rapid speech, some may skip the initial vowel sound, saying "noyed." This alters the word completely. The correct form is "annoyed" (ˈənɔɪd). Tip: Always articulate the "a" clearly, even in fast conversation.
Incorrect vowel length: Some learners might pronounce "annoyed" with a short "o" sound, saying "an-nod." The correct pronunciation features a longer vowel sound, "oy" (ˈənɔɪd). Tip: Practice elongating the "oy" sound as in "boy."
