Super depends on the context, to be honest.

A friend who's going on about their problems: "Am I annoying you?"
Me, who's sick of listening: "It's not you, it's normal to want to vent. But I'm fried from a long day/I've been hearing it for three hours now/I have work to do/Mercury is in retrograde. I need a break from the topic, okay?"

A kid, who is being annoying by accident but can tell that you don't really want to keep hearing about their made up pokemon OC: "Am I annoying?"
Me: "You're great, buddy! You're super creative and I love that. But I'm really tired right now and I just have to focus on this work ok? Can we take a break and you can tell me about your pokemon later?"

Someone who's doing something dumb like listening to a radio in a cubicle office: "Hey is this annoying you?"
Me: "Actually, it wasn't at first but now I find it really distracting. Can you stop?"
Me if I know them pretty well: "Well I'm thinking of how to throw your radio out the window so either go for a walk so I can steal it, or turn it off."

Random stranger being annoying: "Am I being annoying right now?"
Me: "Yeah, kinda."
