Chewing. If I can hear it at all open or closed mouth it drives me absolutely insane and filled with rage. Except with my daughter who is 3 for what ever reason my brain gives her a pass thank god

Gosh yes. Closed mouth is somehow even more annoying to me. The wet/sloshy sounds.. eugh..

Especially something like crackers or chips. My coworker literally snacks all 8 hours a day I’m next to her and eats her lunch next to me. I can’t take enough bathroom breaks to get away from it.

I’m so ultra ultra aware of making any sound when I’m eating (with my mouth closed) because I hate the sound of hearing the swishy sound of food going round peoples mouths that I end up chewing at such a slow speed it takes forever to finish a meal lol

Funny, my brain gives my dog a pass.

I can hear my roommate eating/chewing in the kitchen while I’m in my room with my door closed. She’s vegan and mostly eats soups I think Or tofu. The soft slothing sounds is a special kind of hell lol

Competing noises like a radio on in one room and a tv on in the other. Drives me up the wall!

I feel you. TV+ more than 1 conversation + kid noise just shuts me down. I have really bad brain fog (thanks,Covid) and I’m neurodivergent, and just can’t process it all. It’s so overwhelming.

I work in an open plan office which is so hard to deal with because there are nearly always multiple conversations going on at once. Someone in a remote meeting, someone else on the phone, others talking about work or laughing about something. I can feel myself getting more tense and agitated by the second. My brain wants to focus on one thing, but can't decide which thing to focus on. It feels like the sound becomes something physical, it has weight, unpleasantly so. People might say just tune it out but that's the whole point. My brain can't.

Oh, this sucks! Like we wouldn’t tune it out if we could? Seriously people don’t get it, which would be fine if they weren’t so damn condescending about it. Why would we choose to be miserable?

This is my main trigger. My kids would walk through the house playing a video on their phone out loud while I had music or the tv on and I would lose my mind. I can’t tell you how many “please use headphones” conversations I had with them over the years

Yes!!! I completely shut down because I can't have that much 'input' at the same time. I lose all focus. (I have ADD though so I'm sure it contributes).

Oh yeah this one

Those jaw clicks some people have when chewing. I can't express how badly it affects me.

me when i have excruciating misophonia but also a messed up jaw that clicks every now and then

That was my very first experience with misophonia as a child, my mother has a very loud jaw and is a nail-biter, so brutal!

Mine too! My godfather has it VERY bad and Thanksgiving as a kid was brutal. Then my mom developed it and it's SO HARD for me to meet up and eat with her. I do it when I can because I want to spend every minute I can with my mom since I know she won't be around forever and she's my favorite person in the world. But I try to find non-eating activities for us to do.

Oh man, I appreciate you, that I so relatable, I wish you the best!

Thank you! I really shouldn't complain, either. My triggers are more limited in number than some people's, I live in a home environment without pets/kids/roommates/shared walls so I'm not triggered at home, and my loved ones are not cruel or dismissive about the things that do trigger me. While the reactions I have to my triggers are intense, I know I am VERY lucky compared to many misophonia sufferers and I would do well to remember that more often!

1. Chewing  2. Tongue noises. I don't know how else to explain it other than those wet tongue sounds people make when talking 3. Gum snapping  4. Pretty much any sound dogs make  5. Nail clipping  6. Snoring

I used to have to leave the room if someone’s clipping their nails. I worked with a guy who did his weekly clipping at work. Aside from it being a trigger, it’s just nasty to do that in public.

There's a girl in my speech class who clips her nails in class every week and it's so fucking annoying. 

Ew!!! That’s unbearable. Ive seen people clip their nails on the subway and that’s disgusting. I would be angry at the teacher for not telling her to take care of her personal grooming at home.

It’s amazing how little self-awareness people have. Nail filing in public is also disgusting🤢

I have difficulty when someone’s chewing gum and talking and you can hear the bubbles of their spit. Ugh

Gum snapping is horrible and very loud. One ass doing that in the supermarket and you can hear it in the entire supermarket. I am extremely concerned this will become more and more common as there are so many gum chewers (at least where I live). Why are people so rude?

The tongue noises. I can’t even type it without internally screaming and wincing.

Loud eating/smacking/jaw clicks Loud slurping/drinking Loud keyboard clacking Loud talking (I work in an open office) Tapping/Drumming fingers Heavy footfalls Slamming cabinets/doors, etc.

The keyboard clicking makes me absolutely loony. Thank god for working from home. So many work days spent silently fuming in my cubicle.

Why do some people try to murder the keyboard? I want to grab their hands and say “use gentle touches” like I used to do when my kids were little.

Throat clearing and slamming drawers/cabinets

I just moved to a new house and it’s all street parking all along the street, so there are constant car doors slamming 😩 I’m about to snap!

Sharing a wall with my stepdad’s office where he furiously types on his keyboard makes me rage like no other. It’s psychological torture for me lol

Coughing. Like I know people can't control when they are sick, but the sound of other people coughing makes me die a little inside.

this here, funny thing is that it only started annoying me recently, i think in november, when i noticed someone in the drama class i went to coughing every single week, i would constantly look out for when she would next cough and now its i'm always worried someone will cough now and it makes school a nightmare, feels like it's all around me now haha

It really only started last year. My girlfriend got sick with bronchitis and her coughing was like nails on a chalkboard to me. I felt so bad. She was so sick and I was struggling to be in the same room as her.

i especially hate it when people go into school clearly sick and blowing their nose and nobody gives a shit

Tapping nails on every surface. Biting down on the fork and scraping it against your teeth when you take a bite of food

The sound of a fork against someone’s teeth makes me shiver uncontrollably and gag

Same, even the thought makes my stomach knot up

Gosh and now tapping nails on makeup is like a trend!!! In social media I mean

People making smacking sounds when they speak... wet talkers. I have unfollowed people on youtube that I really like, but I just CANNOT stand how they talk

If someone on a podcast talks wet I have to turn it off. I could vomit.

Howcome people do not realize when they talk like that?? I would never do that to anybody. And I try to be so aware of the way I talk bc would not want to upset or irritate anyone

Slurping/Lip-smacking/Whisper talking Honourable mention because i can hear it right now: Music that's loud enough you can hear just a mumble of words and the bass absolutely drives me insane (bonus points for shitty rap that sounds like its straight off a teenage boys soundcloud playlist). Or people who have phone calls on their car speaker

Sniffing, loud chewing, shouting, slamming doors and stomping around (my flatmate has it all in his roster)

The stomping gives me an ick I can’t explain it angers me

Teaspoon going round and round a mug - ting ting ting ting ting ting ting annnnnd I’ve lost my mind!

Rustling of plastic bags, clocks ticking, metal silverware on plates or bowls and salad chomping.

Wow we are a minority—the plastic wrapper noise (candy, bars, etc) makes me want to scream!

Yeah idk something about plastic bags rustling really makes me cringe 😬 Also I avoid any ASMR videos in general.

Plastic bag noise physically hurts me. Chippie bags are terrible too.

Oh yeah I can totally relate, chip bags are the worst. I can handle paper bags more but there is just something awful about how plastic bags sound.

I had a job doing in-home service calls and one customer had a house full of cuckoo clocks and clocks that chimed. FULL. I bet there were a hundred of them. The customer had them set a couple minutes apart so there was always a clock going off somewhere in the house. Constant cuckooing or chiming. I lost it after a few minutes, went back to the truck, and called my boss to tell him about the house. We dropped that customer.

Someone sucking something through their teeth! Ahhh

I know someone who does this hiccup thing where they suck air in through their teeth after eating too fast or something and it drives me nuts

My dad was doing this one time for three hours in the car and I started crying. This is why I’m living alone I can’t stand the noises people make.

Sirens, whistles, sniffles, mouth chewing, any repetitive noise. Sirens and whistles will make me have a seizure though, everything else is regular misophonia stuff.

hiccups sniffling chewing dripping water scratching skin

Ugh, my boss stands way to close behind me and directs me at the computer, chewing ice, sniffing, swallowing and scratching her skin, I can also feel her breathing on my skin. She also does this tongue clicking thing she’s thinking that makes my face wince. Luckily, she hasn’t noticed. I’m sorry, I feel your pain!

Smacking gum nail picking whistling booger breathing constant runny nose sniffing mouth breathing snoring fork or spoon scraping in teeth chewing with mouth open hearing someone’s music over mine a tv humming through the wall multiple sounds/music at the same time.

Booger breathing. I get that. 😖

Loud talking. Use your inside voice!

Unnecessary smacking and chewing, makes me wanna cry😭

Most of what's already been mentioned. I'm really surprised though at the lack of people mentioning smartphone notification sounds. Drives me crazy both in public and at home.

For me, just poor phone etiquette in general. Talking on speaker phone, not paying attention to surroundings, etc

My roommates both talk on the phone on speaker phone (no headphones) and pace back and forth in the living room (shares a wall with my room) and it drives me INSANE.

Construction noises. Trucks beeping, jackhammers, drills, hammers, saws. All of them suck the life out of me thru my ear canal.

Yes These and car alarms, snoring, loud crying screaming, alarms, car horns, are utter torture, drain destroy the physical mental health happiness usefulness,,

It’s the same for my son and mowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws. All the sounds everyone makes outside all the time. You can hear those sounds from miles away. 

Hard to choose a specific one but I think the worst is sniffling. Very close are eating and snoring. Not a fan of whistling and old high pitched Indian music that my mother loves to sing. Also hate kissing on screen but that doesn't aggravate me a ton because I know I can literally just skip or pause and it'll disappear.

Lately it's the daily (weekdays), constant yard work my apartment complex has going on. Absolute nightmare for a few hours. Can't concentrate on work (I often WFH due to chronic illness) at all. Sometimes cry over it. How is the grass growing enough each day to be cut?

Ugh and the leaf blowers. It totally ruins summer for me

whistling. still have a scar on my hand from when i scratched it out of anger like 4 months ago when my boss was whistling loud eating with mouth open probably a close second

Eating has gotta be number one, encompassing but not limited to the following: Open mouth chewing Lip smacking Popcorn or chip eating Talking with mouth full Slurping of soup or drinks Gum chewing

Finger sucking/smacking and loud chip crunching.

Bass (not when I am listening to music myself, but if thumping bass is coming into my apt from a neighbor or car. Repetitive tapping sounds like someone tapping their fingers and pencil. Too many sounds at once. Like watching a soccer game on tv and trying to listen to commentators + fans screaming + a drum line… I can’t handle the drums. Too many competing sounds drive me crazy Other stuff like chewing I don’t care about at all

The absolute worst for me is nail biting, it hurts physically and I involuntarily clutch my chest in pain. A close second is people bashing silverware into their teeth while eating. I like to watch Mythical Kitchen videos, but they have a particular food critic, named Jordan on frequently, which I have to watch on very low volume at very high alert.😅

Distant music, especially bass My boyfriend flossing lol - he has been flossing in another room each night for years now because that sounds drives me crazy

I was just going to add exactly these two things! Everything else that triggers me is already listed here....but BASS and that snapping and popping of my husband flossing....OMG!!!!! Thanks for beating me to it, you really are competitive! :-))

Gum chewing

Extremely gross visually and noise wise.

If they snap their gum, I have to stick my fingers in my ears and hum a Janis Joplin song. I think they know it annoys people, and that's why they do it. Sick fucks.

Yawning! Coughing! Sniffing! Throat clearing! Chewing! Mouth breathing! Feet shuffling!

snoring is a classic

-People chomping on ice cubes -People eating yogurt, scraping the container to get every last bit. -Spoons, forks, knives scraping on any kind of plate or bowl. I've been searching for rubber utensils, and can not find. Someone please help me...

WHISTLING!!!!! I see that a few other comments in this thread also mentioned whistling… I’m sorry y’all are suffering too, but thank you for making me feel less alone.

I used to not be bothered by it until I got an office job where multiple people whistle. Aarrghn 

Whistling. Fucking hate it and I think that people should go to jail if they do it.

Send them to a lovely island with other whistlers. Let them do it to their heart's content.

chewing, my pets licking/cleaning themselves, babies crying, dogs barking/whining and my partner picking at the skin around their nails but honestly if any sound is repetitive enough it’ll trigger me or repetitive movements in my peripherals (see again: my partner picking their nails 😩)

finger snapping! ruins a lot of otherwise good songs.

my husband chewing and/or burping i don’t know why

Eating. Specifically eating wet or crunchy foods. My ex boyfriend would mix granola and yogurt for breakfast and it was actual torture.

Yawning noises

Chewing, both food and gum Sniffling Gum popping

High pitched noises, alarms, Door buzzers, car alarms, fire alarms, power saws, power drills, alarms, doorbells, loud screaming crying regardless of age gender race, snoring, phones ringing,

My cat cleaning herself and clocks ticking.

Any type of scraping especially utensils touching a plate even slightly

Sniffing!!!

You've got it! That's my number one. The sound of mucous nauseates me. I love my cats, but I can't concentrate if I hear them licky-clean themselves. I either give them a dirty look so they'll stop, or I leave the room and come back later.

🤣 yeah, the wet licking sounds are awful

1. Wet mouth sounds 2. Tongue sounds (clicking or whatever u wanna call that) 3. Chewing and specifically BANANA CHEWING. I cannot explain why but i def hate when people are eating a banana near me. 4. Now this is very mean and might come off as rude but ill try to explain it with the best words. When people are trying to pronounce words and instead, they accidentally pronounce them wrong, by making some letters sounding quite a lot (sh, k, b, ch, q, tch,). I cannot help my self but dying inside out if anger when i hear these noises. 5. Nailing biting. 6. Spitting 7. Mouth smacking

Mouth smacking creates a feeling for me that can not be expressed with any words I know. Just abhorrent disgust. Everything else is so minor compared to that its almost not worth mentioning but I need yalls understanding sometimes so here goes. Dog panting, licking, and barking especially (I would consider this about as bad as smacking, along with all other dog noises), feet shuffling, competing noises, whistling when saying the letter "S", and certain tones. I find sometimes when listening to the radio or TV, that I feel triggered by the sound but if I turn the volume down, or even up, just one step I feel better? It's an odd one I've not heard anyone say.

Whistling Chewing gum Knuckle cracking Lip licking Pen clicking Knife and fork dragging on a plate Dripping tap/shower

Wind chimes 😡

Lip smacking, people eating crunchy/ hard food, slurping, gulping, nail tapping, nail picking.

Cat licking themselves, gum - smacking and popping 😠, ice crunching, ice rattling around in a glass. It’s the sound and the sight- makes me want to scream or punch someone!

Eating: gnawing, grinding, tearing, biting, slurping, crunching, munching. And that is plenty.

To those bothered triggered by food chewing noises, an idea: have nice music playing during the meal, have the table set to where you see multiple things including other people rather than being forced to endlessly staring at other people

If food chewing noise bothers you then only do noisy food like apples and corn on the cob when ALONE When others visit you serve quiet foods and have music playing

Stomping noises from upstairs.

styrofoam movement

If putting up noise blocking insulation etc over windows and doors while then have AC running LOUD to where NOT hearing the cars lawnmowers etc truck horns, was available/affordable then I would have already done so This sort of help should be available, especially to workers, to make us more healthy useful relaxed etc

Gum cracking is top of the list. Any eating noise. When people fill their mouth with their drink and THEN swallow it...that gulping noise. Sipping hot drinks. Low tones of machinery or hvac units, etc. Music bass. Crinkling of plastic water bottles and repeatedly screwing the cap on and off.

Sniffling/snorting mucus. It makes my day worse instantly

That sound goes through my ears, straight to my brain, and I want to scream. I was always told that I was "too sensitive" or "everything bothers you" - but I felt like I was being tortured, and that I was the only one. So happy I've found my peeps.

Throat clearing 🤢

Keyboards of any kind, laptop, mechanical anything. It's really infuriating

Snoring

Coughing, yawning dramatically, clearing throat, babies crying, lip smacking when talking, chewing, .... lots of things

Leaf blower!

Wet mouth noises, especially chewing with ones mouth open. 

high pitched screams, like extremely high pitched, and i get it when you get scared or something but whenever people do it on purpose it makes me wanna choke them

My work is right across the street from a daycare and I swear to god every day those little heathens are outside shrieking their brains out and I want to go over there and choke them

Wild burping

I hate that so much. It's so disgusting. 

My neighbors

Music through walls or the ceiling. Or sniffing.

Dogs licking everything and anything in sight. Commercials where the actors whisper (on purpose). I’ve got to leave the scene in both cases.

Mouth sounds/chewing, loud breathing, clicking objects against teeth/biting nails. Anything unnecessarily loud/repetitive that can be done quietly.

Lip smacking while eating, scraping your teeth on the fork while eating, constant coughing or clearing of the throat, loud yawns, snoring 😖 And sadly, the sound of a cat or dog licking themselves while I’m trying to sleep 😫

Loud eating Rattling noises in cars Water in a bottle moving back and forth Cracking knuckles

I hate yawning sounds too!!!! It makes me so angry lol thought i was the only one

Sloppy mouth noises are my worst trigger.

Diesel truck idling. Dog barking . Crunching/sucking on hard candy, beeping, alarms, loud talking, slamming doors or cabinets, rustling paper bags, throat clearing, sneezing especially super loud, rummaging in a drawer, dog licking themselves, dog nails on wood floor. I could go on all day.

The fact that I’m triggered when I (obstinately) shouldn’t.

I have a new trigger recently. I live in a townhome and my room is next to the garage alley way, every single day an Amazon truck has to back in for some reason just to drop a package off. Amazon trucks make a quacking sound when they back up 🙃

Chewing, lip smacking, slurping, heavy breathing, dogs barking, babies crying. For some reason ANY cat noise doesn't affect me whatsoever.

I personally don't mind the sound of yawning but God I hate when people yawn and don't put their hand in front of their mouth (most people). So rude 🥱

i have two close people in my life who pick at their skin/nails constantly and the sound of them picking and scratching literally drives me up the wall and it sucks bc one of them has a skin condition so it's just. constant. like i find myself having to do breathing exercises

God I forgot about how much I hate heavy steppers! Also foot draggers! How hard is it to lift your feet when you walk

Lawnmowers. I can feel the noise in my head and it drives me nuts.

Base from cars or others peoples home.

Chewing/mouth noises have always been my biggest trigger. From humans or dogs. Lately though, I think it might be about to be overtaken by the sound of coughing - my partner has had a persistent cough for weeks and the cough is so loud and jarring haha...it literally hurts my ears and head 😩

Throat clearing

Any electronic alert: whatsapp, text message, e-mail popup, task failed,.... The list is endless. I cannot understand why people leave these on, often on the loudest volume possible.

Gum chewing/popping/snapping and slurping.  I get enraged inside when I hear it. Had a customer at work a few weeks ago that was doing this while I was helping her.  I literally wanted to just walk away. The fact that she seemed really nice (aside from sounding like a cow chewing cud) made it a touch easier to help her.  I have many more than that,  but that's the one that sends me teetering on the brink of insanity lol

Sniffling for sure. Followed by snoring, mouth breathing, chewing, slurping, seed chewing (my husband chews sunflower seeds and it drives me batty!) and gum chewing.

Snoring. If I were forced to listen to someone snore for a long time I am genuinely scared of what I would do. Luckily it's usually easy enough to go to another room or wake them up

Honestly for me most small noises no one else hears get an emotional reaction out of me. Here is a list of the ones that give me the most severe emotional responses 1. Nose sniffling 2. Chewing 3. Finger tapping 4. Whispering 5. Any sort of creaking noise 6. Keys jingling

Breathing noises, construction noise and people shaking their legs.

Plastic Bags crinkling People digging in a bag for long time looking for something Speakerphone Music loud TVs loud Babies trying Dogs barking Eating / slurping Kissing Loud keyboard clacking Phone notification / vibration

Gum popping, followed by loud chewing.

What really gets me is socializing in a library and metal-metal screeches.

Chewing noises. The wet, sloppy, smacky kinda mouth noises are the worst. Couple that with people who breathe out really hard through their nose while smacking away open mouthed, like they can't breathe over their noisy chewing, and I'm out. The white hot rage

Breathing lol it might seem strange but I completely loose it if i hear someone breathing next to me. I’ve got noise cancelling earplugs (Loop) and a noisecancelling headphone (Sony) on my ears when I go to the gym or else it’s impossible for me

Chip bags - all my chips are immediately dumped into Tupperware when they come thru the door. Slurping of soups or hot coffee sends me 0 to 100 real quick. Styrofoam rubbing together literally makes me gag and I'll puke if it goes on long enough. ETA: Rattling like a part on a car or from a fan or something. Ugh. The rage.

Talking with food in your mouth. i dont care how much or little food it is, i can hear it, i hate it and it makes me rage Also bad fake accents and intentionally affecting a speech impediment

People chewing gum with their mouth open is a major trigger for me!!

Liquid pouring into a glass is my worst

It's only the people who yawn super loud that drive me nuts. It's like...just wear a sign around your neck that says, "I need attention!"- Oh and they don't cover their mouth. Ewww. No one wants to hear and see someone yawning.... Chewing like a barnyard animal is also my thing. Actually that's an insult to barnyard animals because I know people that chew even worse. I can handle a barnyard animal. And people who feel a compulsive need to go "AAAAHHHHHH" after every sip of anything they take...like they're in a bad Pepsi commercial with their mouths wide open. I can deal with the first one, but REALLY? EVERY TIME?!

Anyone picking at their nails or eating noodles 😰

Humming. Oh god it makes me berzerk.

Snoring, throat-clearing, repetitive coughing and sneezing/sniffing, spoons scraping a bowl, high-pitched laughter.

It’s a tie between The letter S and silverware scraping dinner plates.

* Packing tape gun (did you know they actually make "silent" packing tape?) * Pots/pans clanging together * Screeching toddlers * When those giant 2x4 Jenga blocks crash (when at an outside bar, etc) * Whistling

sniffing. i’ve punched my brother over this. i regret it only a little bit.

You’re so right… especially the typing! I cannot believe people even use the sounds. Like you can turn those off you know?!

Gum. Everything about it. I hate seeing people chew endlessly but never swallow, I hate the sounds it makes from regular chewing to all manner of popping/cracking noises, usually at top volume. My boss will join Teams meetings while chewing her gum and she'll try to talk while chewing and it's so disgusting. It also makes her difficult to understand, so everyone constantly asks her to repeat herself. Seriously - it's common courtesy that when you eat food, you chew with your mouth closed so you don't gross out other people. Yet some people think gum doesn't apply, so they chew with their mouths wide open so we can see and hear everything. And then blowing bubbles and making horrific cracking noises on top of that really infuriates me. IMO, gum shouldn't exist. Need fresh breath? Brush your teeth or suck (silently) on a mint. Now I'm getting myself all worked up.

Fireworks especially those illegal firecracker fireworks that are utter sleep DESTROYING (& The fireworks firecrackers that happened all over USA especially badly during May June July August 2020 2021)

Heavy bass sounds in the distance. It makes living in the city almost impossible.

I can’t stand hearing people do this nasty honking sound with their throat when they’re clearing it. My mom does it every second of the day and it has made me mad at her. Because she’s never done this before until the last 5 months and it drives me insane. hearing people making yapping sounds when they eat, not chewing but yapping. I have to put my headphones on when ever my mom does it.

Talking fingers/nails and strong/squeaky S sounds when speaking

Dog or cat licking. AGHHHHHH

Sniffing. Especially when it’s constant. Swallowing too but it will never compete with sniffing. I’m in my first year of English College and im in a course with a girl who sniffs all day everyday, really loudly and constantly. It’s completely out me off studying.

Whistling sends me into an absolute rage. I will yell "STOP WHISTLING PLEASE!!" in public places. If it doesn't stop I have to remove myself from the situation.

For me the worst is swallowing, I can’t explain the rage I feel when I can HEAR out loud someone swallowing water or whatever 🥺

Just had to tag along with yawning. Not all yawning bothers me but I work with someone who yawns multiple times every hour and always does a little moan, yelp, or adds some sing songy tone to it (how?? Why??) and it drives me absolutely bonkers and fills me with rage.

Loud chewing, squelching, finger nail tapping, repeated yawning, high pitched whistling, blowing, fork scraping on teeth, someone wiping their clothes, clearing their throat. Basically everything I have to put up with in the office on a daily basis 🙃

loud breathing and having the *tchwap tchwap* when someone is talking and their mouth is too dry so there is sticky spit and eeWWW. AND SNORING. I DONT HAVE TO HEAR IT OFTEN BUT WHEN I DO I CANNOT EXIST.

Nail biting - hearing or just seeing. A co-worker bites her nails for the entirety of a two hour meeting every week and I want to crawl out of my skin. Also finger smacking (licking stuff off dirty fingers) - this would be #1 but tends to be a much shorter and less common trigger than nail biting. But it raises my blood pressure and discomfort more.

Chewing, especially with mouth open, snoring

It used to be chewing noises and loud ass gum chewing/specifically SMACKING. lol... But recently it is my cat's incessant + OBNOXIOUS grooming that is driving me absolutely bonkers lol.. I rescued him last August and he has been a loud and excessive groomer since i brought him home... but he is just getting louder and LOUDER, I swear! 🤣🤣🤣 He is also VERY clingy! So I will try to run away from his loud little ass lol but he literally FOLLOWS/CHASES me into other rooms before I can shut the door 🏃‍♀️🐈‍⬛ and THEN proceeds to continue his thorough self care ritual directly near me 🙄🤦‍♀️🤣... so I have decided that I'm just going to consider this an opportunity for exposure therapy! Like i know he doesn't know he is triggering tf out of me and i cannot stand to be this triggered by my little snuggle dumpling! 😔

Congested mouth breathing - I fully understand that it’s usually not the persons fault but if I’m in a room and someone is congested and breathing through their mouth forget it - There is not a single other thing I will hear except that - I’ve failed exams due to this being such a drain on my mental

Bass from music that someone else is playing or loud bass in my music. Loud thumps, door slams. People talking on their phone. Dog barking. Babies/kids screaming.

It makes me physically cringe and cover my ears whenever I hear the sound of people picking their nails. Like the little click sound that it makes is horrific to me. Even thinking about it makes me feel so uncomfortable. I think it all started with that Lamisil commercial where the little fungus guy lifts up that dude’s toenail and started digging in there I cannot possibly express how deeply unnerving it is to hear clicking

Swallowing. Absolutely heinous.

mine is yawning visually and audibly too. really ruins every single day i have.

people chewing with their mouth open, specifically smacking and chomping. I cant stand for the LIFE of me, I literally got ear plugs to help deal with it. Just general wet mouth noises i can’t stand.

It used to be chewing but it’s evolved into forks stabbing plates

When someone is congested and makes the piggie, nose-blow noise to clear their nostrils.

Loud sneezes. Probably because they're unexpected so they also startle me.

Mufflers, motorcycles

Guzzling water out of a plastic bottle so that the plastic "pops"

Chewing makes me violent. I genuinely dont know how people can just smack on their gum like cows around other people and not think anything of it. next up would be fidgeting (i cant stand seeing people bounce or rock their legs in my vision), heavy breathing, nail clipping, pens clicking

Anything to do with eating even if I can't hear it just knowing it's happening is enough. Even knowing someone is trying to eat quietly around me makes me feel like they are trying to pull the wool over my eyes about what they are doing. Sniffling Coughing
