Squishy Eating Noises, Breathing Noises, Popcorn at the Movies

[Guest guest]

Has anyone figured out why these particular sounds (among the others) are so

commonly troubling for us? Why these sounds & not others?

some of my top irritants:

chewing noises, especially crunchy things

music or tv from another room/car/house

noisy breathing

saliva noises when talking

swallowing noises

somebody scratching/picking at their skin (the visual kills me)

clacking of a computer keyboard

pretty much any repetitive noise

(dripping, tapping, snapping)

basketball

that rattling inside your car you can't locate

silverware against teeth

styrofoam!!
