You sure it wasn't the guy? He's fucking hot as hell.

Yeah now I remember ASMR. I do get full over scalp tingles over certain sounds but most people do.

The only sounds that annoy me are crying babies and people who grunt or make other noises for no reason. Usually seems to be older people that do this.

Misophonia also explains why I prefer noise to be subtle. My partner will watch TV on our TV at 32 - 40 and I'll watch it at 10 - 12.

Geez, I watch TV on LG TV's and 10 is loud enough, turning up to even 15 is pretty blaring I can't imagine 32-40 O.o what type of TV do you own for your partner to have it that high up and not be bursting eardrums.

I wouldn't say I associated with having Misophonia. Though noises which really get to me are people (mostly old people) who feel the need to moisten their mouth by mixing the saliva around so you get that disgusting watery sound.

People who have a whistle when they breath, that high pitch noise is incredibly irritating.

Crying babies, I don't like babies/children and when they cry I just roll my eyes hoping it will stop soon.

Ticking clocks at night, they don't bother me during the day, actually I quite like it as it kills complete silence but when i'm trying to sleep and I hear that mysterious ticking I have to get rid of it.

Birds, mainly seagulls that squak at about 4 in the morning and some other species that tweets at around the same time. More of a general annoyance but it's a noise that pisses me off.

I only hate the silent sound of someone chewing with their mouth closed. weird, I know.
Oh, and certain songs/jingles on TV. I swear, everytime I hear "twinkle twinkle little star" I have to fight to just hit the mute button and not throw the remote at the screen.
Certain ringtone ads back when that was still a thing had the same effect.

I'll have to check this out. I have ASMR, so noises (though annoying to most people) can be quite pleasant to me, might be the opposite condition.

You don't have ASMR. It's a phenomenon, not a condition.

I love ASMR videos (although I don't watch them at all, just listen) on youtube. Especially ear cupping, blowing, brushing... not those role play thingies. I've even tuned my headphones to go berserk overload to get more juice out of the bass!

Helps me sleep quite a lot!

While I don't believe I had any notable degree of misophonia, I do have tinnitus, which I didn't realize until just about a year ago. I honestly believed that hearing a soft ringing in a quiet room was just a normal thing. (Of course, I also believed for years that avocados, tomatos, and bananas were just 'itchy food', not realizing I was mildly allergic).

I inquired as to why my girlfriend always has the fan on in her room, it's because of the same thing. She uses the white noise to tone down that sound. And why she almost always has a movie or music playing. I tried it out, using my ipad when I sleep to play a 10 hour rain or soft 'delta wave' sleep music. It actually made a huge difference and I've been sleeping a lot better since.

Sound does weird things to us,, just like smell and taste, and can drastically affect how we live our day and sleep as well.

I've heard of ASMR as well, though I haven't really researched it. It's very similar to those binaural music/sound deals, which only affect some people.

Oh man, you'd hate my keyboard in the office. Cherry MX Blues. Heh.

[smokii]

i'm pretty sure my sister has it

about 20 years ago now, she gave me a bloody nose for eating a biscuit too loudly. i kid you not.

edit: english biscuit, aka, a cookie.

The sound of animals licking themselves drives me absolutely nuts. I know my pets don't do it on purpose but I stop my pets from grooming themselves if I'm in the room as I just can't stand it. So maybe I have a mild version of it? Other sounds used to bother me like heavy machinery but I think that was more the loudness bothering me than a certain aspect of the sound.

[derpkitteh]

i can't stand loud noises, but i don't think it's this. yelling, booms, gun shots, stuff like that really gets the better of me and makes me a nervous wreck.

but i have to have constant low background sound of some kind, or the silence literally hurts my ears. idk how it does it, but literally hurts.

That sounds a lot like tinnitus :P

I thought that was normal, too. Silence is painful and I hate it. I can't stand the lack of noise because it causes a constant level of noise.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I know I don't have this. I have something else.

Sensory Processing Disorder. It sucks hardcore.

isn't that a ringing? mine sounds kinda like a low "shhhhhhh" it's maddening, and even though it's not very loud, it hurts.

It falls under a few categories, but it's largely considered a consistent sound or discomfort when other sound isn't present.

I've worked in kitchens for most of my working life. OP would love love love clanking dishes, sound of the dishwasher, spraying water sounds, yells about "BEHIND", "MOVE", "BESIDE SHARP", "HOT, HOT" and so on.

Don't get a job in a restaurant, OP.
