troublesomeness
Quality of annoyance
The quality of causing difficulty, annoyance, or problems.
Troublesomeness suggests something persistently bothersome rather than momentarily inconvenient: The troublesomeness of the commute finally convinced her to move closer to work.
The word is formal and somewhat awkward—most speakers prefer saying something "is troublesome" rather than discussing its troublesomeness.
