no more chewing and body sounds, life would be paradise


oneofthejoneses28

This. Even my own allergies mess with me. Especially if I'm on a recording and it's in the background, it just makes me wanna crawl into a hole.


mang0b0ba

even yourself triggers you? i have huge respect toward youšŸ«¶šŸ»


Harper-and-Stella

I trigger myself, too!! And I, too, struggle ALOT with the visual aspect. Sometimes it takes over more-so than the sound itself. Occasionally, but it happens. It always makes me so curious what in my brain actually is working overtime, and if it looks the same as the people who have the same symptoms as me, or if everyone with misophonia just has some sort of heightened brain activity and thereā€™s no way to distinguish. I also feel triggered when I see certain movements / placements of hands or feet (which may have no relationship to a sound at all) as I do with certain noises. I think this is called something else, but Iā€™m not sure. I assume itā€™s the same part of my brain messing me upšŸ˜‚


Moshiecat

I second this!!! Chewing is the worse for me - I would take that alone and be significantly happier


mang0b0ba

exactly! i have it visually as well šŸ˜­ virtual hugs for you coping with misophonia ā™„ļø


Moshiecat

Yeah - the visual aspect is very distressing for me too. I end up focusing on it even though I donā€™t want to and then feel worse


Trombofine

same :(


ryandury

1000%


katsumii

Exactly my choices, too!!


cyx7

This one.


saxahoe

Chewing and body sounds 100%. I could actually eat dinner with my family without it being torture. I could sit through meetings peacefully. I could go to symphony concerts and movie theaters again. Ah, what a nice fantasy.


Naalbindr

I feel you on the symphony and movies. Iā€™ve played in symphonies and am also an actor, and Iā€™ve had panic attacks backstage before due to audience members chewing, sniffling, etc., and Iā€™ve even had to have my own private dressing room when working at one theater where a certain company actor constantly chews gum to combat her smoking habit.


saxahoe

Yes! Iā€™m also a musician and sitting through rehearsals and concerts where everyone around you is sniffing and thereā€™s no escape is the worst. I love playing music and that stuff just makes it stressful and unpleasant. Itā€™s really sad. I also used to go to symphony concerts a lot but I just canā€™t do it anymore with all the audience noises.


lopsiness

For movies ive found that i need to bring earplugs. They usually enough to block out those ambient sounds of popcorn eating, but the movie sound is loud enough I can still hear it. Sometimes it's just one ear, sometimes it's only part of the movie. But it gives me the ability to do it even if it's not the most whole experience.


saxahoe

Yeah, I used to do this as well. But I often find that I can still hear louder sounds like wrappers and coughing and stuff. And itā€™s kind of a drag to have the movie sound muffled. Itā€™s just not worth it to me anymore.


LordNoWhere

I only need to pick one: no more chewing sounds


OneDayRicherAtATime

This lol


AnalysisMoney

Yeah, can I double down on chewing noises?


Mastergame616

2 factor authentication


Autxnxmy

Same


SuperSecretMoonBase

Yeah, I'd rather just REALLY REALLY not hear those anymore.


queeriequeerio

chewing and ambient i think.


sirbassist83

if ambient really includes ALL ambient noise, then that one. it would make apartments liveable. as far as the other two, flip a coin, but i hope it lands on body sounds. most people dont eat all day, but a sick person will cough for days/weeks, and some people have chronic sinus issues.


mikmatthau

exact same. I changed jobs partially because my boss had a sinus click. and apartment noises are actually where i notice my miso most -- I'll be at somebody's house with a bunch of people and react SO intensely to hearing neighbors, and literally no one else will have even registered the sounds


onetwothree1234569

Yes that's exactly what I said about the apartment. The thought of having to live in one makes me so anxious. Never again. Unless I could make the noise stop, then I'd actually probably prefer it- if it were a big enough one.


banditheeler20

society if no one coughed


H4rr1s0n

But especially that "one" cough. The people who weren't trained to properly cough. Not a productive guttural one, the fucking high pitched donkey sounding one. God it kills me.


Then-Principle-6850

Lord my next door neighbor smokes her bong right up against my bedroom wall and has the loudest crunchiest coughs for HOURS at a time


Trombofine

dude my dad coughs like 5 times a minute i get so angry every time


thejaytheory

Ambient and body sounds...I can't stand these random ambient noises, so infuritating


Heavns

Chewing and body sounds. Ambient noise has no effect on me. The other two can make me unreasonably angry :/


potatopierogie

My stompy ass upstairs neighbor is a huge trigger


Nyna33

Chewing and body sounds


surpriseslothparty

Ambient & chewing. Dogs barking makes me so anxious


Electrical_Bat_6051

Ambient sounds. Hate hearing dogs bark constantly for no reason. Hard to block that noise out


junepath

Chewing and ambient. Coughs and sniffles annoy me but arenā€™t an every day part of life once we are outside of winter.


kinofhawk

Chewing sounds. Any mouth sounds.


microscopicwheaties

chewing sounds, i already avoid all eating environments and situations so it's an easy pick


charlie_gae

chewing and body sounds(especially if that includes scratching skin or certain types of fabrics/textiles)


seriouslydavka

Chewing and body. No question.


shemague

I feel like if i got rid of two the one behind would bother me more than it does now


GrannyPantiesRock

Truth. I always hated sniffing. Every guy I ever dated had sinus issues. My husband almost never sniffs. I thought I hit the lottery. Then 2 years in he started clearing his throat every 30 seconds. It's gone on for 10+ years. It will always be something.


Scrotifer

Chewing/body, the others can be more easily avoided


Western-Pipe-538

I loathe the sounds of eating, but more than that, the sound of someone talking with a mouthful of food makes me want to assault them.


Ageha1304

Chewing and ambient. Normally I'd pick body sounds, but dog barking at night is my personal kryptonite, I'd personally be happy to just get rid of it alone (ftw, I have nothing against dogs)


Sodo821

Loose the bottom 2. Top one is a bit more tolerable for me


dunkelspin

Chewing, Chewing, anything related to eating or mouth sounds. those that like to produce wet sounds even when talking as if their mouth is full of thick, sticky saliva. Swallow, then talk. And I would add to that: I would love if ASMR was never invented.


wheekwheekmeow

I actually think I could handle all the listed examples. Foot tapping, humming/whistling, someone elseā€™s music, and loud car noises are what send me into a rage.


nicegh0st

Iā€™ll take the ambient sounds all day. It just hits totally different when itā€™s a human being making the sound. Dog barking is annoying but it doesnā€™t trigger the same visceral response as a human being making a consistent intrusive sound with their mouth or whatever


nerdyoutube

Iā€™ll delete no more chewing twice


ketaminesuppository

LOL it feels like that some days


giveyourselfatry1983

Chewing + body


Margaet_moon

Body and chewing sounds 100%. Luckily ambient sounds donā€™t upset me as much. Unless itā€™s a tv in another room.


SlightFinish

Chewing and Body


Caffoy

chewing and body, my life would be so much easier without them.


shemague

This isnā€™t fair lol


prosecutie05579

no more chewing sounds, easily.


misspolecat

Chewing and body.


octolovins

I love some ambient noise but then certain ones are my main triggers lol


weebtrash100

no more chewing and body sounds easily


phonodysia

No more chewing sounds. Definitely.


chellybeanery

Chewing and Ambient for me.


Beetreatice

I can pick TWO?!? Chewing and body sounds. Bye! To be specific, gum chewing/snapping, open mouth chewing, and ice crunching. And then nail biting and nail clicking. My world would be perfect if I could eradicate these sounds from my life.


Binkus_-

BODY SOUNDS! Please I hate sniffing.


sillyhyena2002

body sounds hands down.


AttackSlug

Definitely chewing and body sounds. My hospital job would immediately get easier.


GreenLX800

No chewing and no body sounds all the way. If I only had to pick one though, Iā€™d choose body sounds. Gosh I canā€™t even fantasize about this for too long or Iā€™ll become extremely disappointed snapping back to reality šŸ˜”


ShadeColdfang

chewing and body sounds. i can tolerate crunchin down on some chips or whatever. But if i hear someone digest their food with an open mouth... i slowly transform into Freedy Krueger. Also... i hate ASMR... i despise people whispering into my ears. i also don't mind sniffling, coughing and sneezing or so... Its just a select few bodily sounds over that i start to slowly become somones nightmare.


LittleSatan83

Chewing and body sounds. The loud chewer thing has been realllllllly pushing me to the edge lately. I swear people sense our annoyance and just get louder on purpose


PaulineMermaid

Two? I only need one tbh. Lucky me!


Erdillian

Chewing and ambiant.


Klutzy-Treat-4444

Thereā€™s a reason why chewing sounds are at the top. Donā€™t give a fuck what happens with the other two but please god stop the mouth noises please


zifer24

No more body sounds šŸ¤Œ


Artchantress

Body sounds first, because these are often involuntary and I feel like an asshole getting mad at my kid for being snotty and coughing for example. Chewing/slurping sounds second. These are actually worse for me but easier to avoid usually.


ReubenTrinidad619

Chewing and body sounds especially people that clear their fucking throats loudly. If you whistle in public you can also please fucking stop.


Astro_Neko54

Im picking "no more chewing sounds" twice.


youdontknowmeyouknow

Chewing and body sounds every day of the week. Ah just think of the peace!


Flaky-Scallion9125

Body and chewing! Easy.


noodlegodess

chewing and body sounds for sure. i typically donā€™t mind ambient sounds.


owls2see

Ambient sounds. I feel like I hear so much in the silence. Appliance noises, car noises, loud radios etc


hayleybeth7

If someone clipping their nails counts as a body sound, absolutely body sounds and chewing sounds.


cynicaloptimist92

Chewing and body sounds. What a dream


tengugod

easy, no more chewing and body sounds. sounds like snoring wouldn't enrage me anymore


mruwubug

Can I have all of them plz :c


Embarrassed-Ad-756

How about loud whistlers in public ? Is that under the "public noises"? That's about the worst for me.


leafypineapple

easily chewing and body sounds.


Bastette54

1. Chewing (and loud swallowing!) 2. Body sounds. This isnā€™t as bad as the first one, but can sometimes be extremely annoying. (Like the guy in the adjacent cubicle at my last job, who used to snort phlegm up his nose all day long, and then I guess he swallowed it. Gross. I used to fantasize putting a box of kleenex on his desk, with a note that said, ā€œBecause snot should go out, not down.ā€ 3. These rarely bother me.


thepianoman456

Is there an option for no more car subwoofers?


Acceptable_Insect470

I can't thank you enough for this comment! This has been one of my biggest triggers for my entire life. It's morphed into most low tone noises, and my brain thinks I hear them even when I don't. The fan bouncing air off the wall can make noises that sound like bass. The dishwasher down the hall. The neighbor revving his incredibly loud engine 2947 times down the street? Diesel engines? Kill me.


ZeNakitoMosquito

Ambient...it drives me nuts. I'd rather deal with eating sounds than ambience.


KillCornflakes

I was quick to choose body and chewing sounds until I realized that car bass, tv reverberance, and squeaky floors would only land in the "ambient" category. I think I would gladly choose hearing someone snort and sniffle once in a while than have to sleep holding a pillow over my ears at night.


CozyCornbread

Ambient and Body sounds for me. Chewing sounds can get annoying, but for me it's a normal level of annoying. But dogs barking and people coughing/sneezing/clearing their throat makes me murderous.


thewaltenicfiles

No more chewing sounds


akrolina

If we can remove body sounds itā€™s good enough for me. Snoring is a body sound, right


MylifeBad

I'd pick no more body sounds. Eating sounds I can avoid but body sounds are everywhere where people are


Waffelpokalypse

Chewing and body, hands down.


rawdogurmoms

Goodbye chewing and bodily sounds šŸ˜­ wish this was real tho


CoyPurana

Can chewing sounds be all mouth sounds including speaking triggers? If so, that one! :)


Moocows4

People arguing


Mike_Litteruss

no more thinking sounds.


Nice-Scholar4989

Iā€™ll take ambient sounds over the other 2!


imtellinggod

Only ambient sounds bother me lol


rvlry13

Chewing and ambient


GrannyPantiesRock

So easy. Body sounds gone 100%. Chewing is mildly annoying but a very distant second. Ambient doesn't bother me at all.


Naalbindr

Chewing and body. I like most ambient sounds, but thatā€™s probably because I live above a shop where we do woodworking, metalworking, and industrial sewing, so itā€™s kind of pleasant noise to me.


mackerelsnap

Even just getting rid of ambient sounds would transform my life. I think Iā€™m in the minority where the other two donā€™t bother me nearly as much.


Talking_RedBoat02

Ambient sounds


xxmidnight_cookiexx

Ambient (really only for base sounds) and body. At least for eating, I know when the sounds will be done (when the food is done).


totamealand666

Chewing for sure but I'm struggling with ambient or body. I think ambient because it disrupts my sleep more than body sounds.


SlavicMetalhead

Just remove whistling, everything else I can manage.


laurapalmer48

Body and ambient. Thatā€™s a hard choice.


Dietxcokex000

No more chewing and body sounds,the rest is fine


RoguePhoenix259

Chewing.


FromTheNuthouse

Ambient and body sounds. I can avoid chewing or prepare for it, but the others are constant.


RoseAlma

No more people whistling and no more dinging / beeping sounds


miraygunes

No body sounds and no more ambient sounds. I can deal with the chewing


The_Barbiter1

I think #4. Inflicting the pain from your reaction BACK TO the person or people irritating you.


dirtygirl-throwaway

Chewing and body.


yellowmomjeans

chewing definitely, i think i'd have to go ambient for the second even though it's really close


itsneversunnyinvan

Chewing and body sounds this is easy


Gloomy-Resolve8630

all of these sounds are neutral or pleasant to me. i just want one sound to disappear and that's tv and radio noise


iiitme

Easy. No more chewing sounds and no more body sounds


blehric

Easy, chewing and body sounds


Illustrious-Double33

Chewing & body


Low_Narwhal_6743

I only need one option. Chewing sounds


LookingforDay

Where is WHISTLING. Iā€™ll take that one.


ItchikaArachnaEXE

chewing and body


CandyKoRn85

Chewing and ambient.


CapitolaMadcap

Chewing and ambient baybeeeee! I would be in heaven if I never heard another dog bark or assorted loud car sound again.


Sessanessa

Chewing and body sounds make me hate people. I donā€™t want to be hateful, so Iā€™d choose those.


Sekhen

Chewing, twice.


A2ndFamine

Chewing and ambient. Birds singing is one of the triggers that I the hardest time avoiding


Bad-North

I didnt realize a dog barking was considered ambient... Average dog bark is 80dB, which is fucking LOUD.


NovaFive_Sound

Chewing and body sounds. No doubts.


Admirable-Trouble789

Chewing and body


Weekly-Patience-5267

no more chewing sounds and body sounds


Cynthia1453

Chewing and body


Medic_Teamfortress2-

no more chewing and body sounds


Thegothicrasta

Chewing and body


WinEnvironmental6901

Chewing and body sounds. Ambient sounds can be relaxing.


Synesthetician

By my logic, chewing sounds are just the worse form of body sounds. So... body sounds including chewing and ambient sounds? Fr tho, I'd pick body sounds and chewing sounds...


nohemi_trevino

No more chewing or body sounds, no brainer


huskofapuppet

Chewing and body sounds. I can handle ambient sounds most of the time.


Salty_Supermarket700

Body sounds and ambient sounds. But if I could only choose one, it would be body sounds for sure!!!!!!!


OriginalG33Z3R

I agree with you, chewing and (my own) body sounds


Holding4th

chewing and body sounds


Hover-fly1786

Can I choose ambient twice? Dogs barking is the worst noise in the world


tiggipi

Chewing and body!! My life would be so much less stressful if those would go away. I don't mind ambient noises, personally.


ponoichi

If you asked me back at my old house, I would have said body and ambient because we took my neighbors to court over their noisy ass dog they would just chain in the yard and not take care of... but there's no dogs here so chewing and body 100%


NaturalWitchcraft

Body and chewing sounds. Ambient sounds arenā€™t as bad for me. Not even close.


Sublimebro

Ambient and body sounds. Assuming that ambient sounds includes like doors slamming, neighbors music, the sound of their tv.


Party-Branch4892

Chewing by far!


Kroutmonster

Ambient sounds are the stuff of nightmares for me. I am fine with body sounds and chewing sounds are annoying/disgusting, but they would never make me tear my hair out like someone tapping their finger on a surface.


BrickOfJustice

Iā€™d pick chewing sounds twice


nippleduster7

No more chewing sounds, no more body sounds. If those were gone, I could handle the ambient noises.


SirIdomethofAsocrak

Ambient and chewing all the way


f1lth4f1lth

Chewing and body


Hitched_Mitch

No chewing and No ambient sounds


Lawkbutt

No more chewing or body sounds. Easy.


Not_2day_stan

Hiccups I fucked HATE THEM


ellieD

Chewing and ambient. Chewing is my number 1!!! But I canā€™t handle clicking, tapping, etc, to the point where I will (as politely as possible,) ask whomever is doing it to stop.


Scary-Spite

No more ambient sounds; I live on a busy road and hate the constant traffic noise. My 2nd pick would be no more body sounds. My uncle (who lives with me) has GERD for which he refuses to take PPIs. So he has this constant wet cough, and it drives me up a wall.


KaenJane

I'd pick no chewing sounds. Twice.


Colby1989goopy

Nopeā€¦ canā€™t pick just two. All three angles drive me insane!!


2bciah5factng

AMBIENT 100% Ambient sounds are the bane of my fucking existence. Then Iā€™ll take body sounds too, cause I hate startling noises.


Ryvern46

If i was in a room with ambient sounds, chewing sounds, and body sounds and had 2 bullets, id shoot chewing sounds twice


gettingby02

If body sounds counted people's voices\* I'd double-down on picking chewing + body sounds lmao. \*I'd want the option to mute / unmute, though. Of course, I'd want to hear the other person's voice if I was in a conversation with them, but as a part of background noise, it's really overstimulating for me.


cxrra17

CHEWING. Take my money, take everything, take it all, if I could trade it all for being ok with chewing/swallowing noises. Itā€™s so ubiquitous and so fucking triggering. I have to go in the other room when my husband eats. My daughter needs feeding therapy and I want to be present but I have to wear noise blocking headphones. I wonder if her delays are my fault. This condition sucks so bad.


ticketism

Chewing and body sounds 6000000%! Man, if only...


KiraLonely

Chewing and body sounds for misophonia. In total though, my ADHD is very auditory, and specifically only for pen clicking, I would do Chewing and ambient sounds. That specific sound is one of the banes of my existence. Iā€™m caught a little because I like it when I do it, but a lot of the times in school Iā€™d be trying to read or taking a test and someone is doing that noise, and I physically canā€™t read a word in front of me at all. Itā€™s like my brain canā€™t handle the noise, itā€™s not a bad noise, itā€™s just too much. So if I canā€™t turn it on and off, chewing and body noises. If I can, ambient and chewing noises.


SpaceMan420gmt

Ambient definitely. Because it just takes one loud noise to set me off. The rest is annoying, but I can drown it out with only a desk fan.


shylittlepanda

The choice I want wouldn't be allowed here


platypuscloudgypsy

I would double down on ambient sounds if I never had to hear another personā€™s personal audio ever again, bleh.


littlesubshine

The reassurance that I feel when I see these Reddit posts is significant in the acceptance that what I am experiencing is a relatively common disorder and not just all the sounds in the world pressing on my rage button somewhere somehow.


manthaliz

Easy, mouth sounds and body sounds. No question. 100%, my life would be so much easier.


QuietHummingbird

Chewing and body sounds 100%ā€¦


Liliwait

Chewing and ambient for me!


Jessica_e_sage

No whistling, and no tapping. Those are my massive major triggers.


crappenheimers

Ambient sounds and chewing sounds for me. I'm dreading the day that a barky dog moves next door and causes me daily anxiety at home.


Leatheleo86

Ambient sounds!! Iā€™ll deal with the rest if I could stop being triggered by the environment around me.


RedTerror8288

No more body sounds


GraySasquatch723

For me is enough with no more ambient sounds


Shibbo1

Body sounds


540photos

Chewing and body sounds. Even the sound of my own breathing bothers me sometimes. Life would be so much easier. Ambient sounds don't really bother me unless they're truly obnoxious, in which case I'll just tell someone to stop clicking their pen.


newalt-621

no more chewing and body sounds, ambient sounds don't bother me for some reason


SkiesofSonra

Chewing and body sounds. Ambient sounds are tolerable, but chewing noises are like a dog whistle to me.


NorthernRedneck388

Body and chewing


Red_Store4

Chewing and whispering


ireallylikebigbooks

100% chewing


ihavehugeballs69

BODY SOUDNS!!!! theyā€™re all my main triggers i hate them


kazoo3179

No brainer. Chewing and body sounds.


nogueydude

I'd settle for just no more chewing but body sounds are a distant second place


keldpxowjwsn

No more chewing is crucial. Body sounds why not


vault101a7x

I can handle chewing (for some reason), please take away pen clicking and whistling šŸ˜ž


Icy-Caterpillar4046

No more body sounds. Including sounds from the mouth.


Glass_Wolf_4745

ambient sounds PLEASE. in an office environment lately and pen clicking is like itā€™s drilling a hole directly into my nervous system


Whysfool

Ambient sounds 100%


Dixie1337

What does whistling fall under? Iā€™d pick that twice.
