I have a hatred of the sound of any marker dragging against (non-glossy) paper. It's torturous to me, makes me physically cringe and grind my teeth when I hear the noise. And conversely, marker-against-glossy-paper is a very pleasing sound to me.
Now I'm wondering if that's genetic and how many other people have the same experience with those sounds.
- justaguy500 7y agoEverybody hates sounds like that. Why you might ask? The human brain confuses it with the sound of chewing something bad (eg a stone within your food) that's cracking, grinding and ruining your teeth.

- tombert 7y agoI thought I was the only one! I think it's impossible for me not to wince when hearing the noise of a marker against regular paper, and I also really hate the sound of pieces of paper rubbing together.
- Weebs 7y agoI have this for any similar sound or physical sensation. I can't stand the noise of grinding or my girlfriend filing her nail. Similarly sensations like a nail file against my nails is probably even worse I don't think it has anything to do with the sensations themselves, just my brain perceiving the stimulus as abrasive / piercing. It causes some kind of psychological pain, and weirdly I did not have this problem until my mid-20s.
