I do not like to hear from you, But you are pleased to meet me only when you need me.

I am happy not be working. When I have work, I start screaming.

I can be annoying to many regulars. But am inspiring for little ones.

You can reach me if you need me, Hope you still like me if you don't.

My first ever try to create a riddle.

I think it is

An ambulance or fire truck.

I do not like to hear from you, But you are pleased to meet me only when you need me.

Hearing from me means something bad happened, but I will be pleased when I get help.

I am happy not be working. When I have work, I start screaming.

Sirens.

I can be annoying to many regulars. But am inspiring for little ones.

The loud noises of the siren are annoying to adults, but especially fire trucks are inspiring to kids.

You can reach me if you need me, Hope you still like me if you don't.

You can call the ambulance whenever there's an emergency.

I'm guessing it's a

bell, gong or other ringing device

I do not like to hear from you, But you are pleased to meet me only when you need me.

You may need to hear the bell during a boxing match or a boring class

I am happy not be working. When I have work, I start screaming.

It makes noises when it works. It is still otherwise.

I can be annoying to many regulars. But am inspiring for little ones.

Normally most people hate ringing sounds. Children however love noises of all sorts and often enjoy the sound of it.

You can reach me if you need me, Hope you still like me if you don't.

Possibly a reference to the religious symbolism of bells.

I always struggle to turn off my alarm when it goes off. But I am still grateful when I get up on time
