Interesting how they're all noises people make. It's not chirping birds, or running motors, or anything that could occur when no one else is around.

  This was an interesting piece on misophonia. It seems like it goes beyond just the sounds alone and it may depend on a perception of intentionality behind the sound. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/misophonia-beyond-sensory-sensitivity https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/misophonia-beyond-sensory-s...

    great share. the authors so introspective it almost seems like a straw man vehicle. i mean that in a good way, i think? not used to people writing about their shortcomings matter-of-factly like this

      As in, something designed to facilitate setting up misrepresentations of other people's arguments? That doesn't sound like a good thing.

    My SO has misphonia, and strongly reacts to many sounds I make like smacking while eating or tapping my foot while thinking. She can also react strongly to noises outside the home, like if a car idles loudly outside. She works in a kindergarten, and so I asked how she tolerates all those kids making noises while eating and such, given how adverse she is towards the sounds I make. She said it didn't bother her the slightest as she knew the kids couldn't help it, and the reason my smacking annoyed her for example was because she knew it could be avoided if I just were more careful.

This is a question out of genuine curiosity and not intended to minimize misophonia in any way: I do not see any examples of a "naturally occurring" sound there. Is the sound supposed to be human generated in some way? That would feel a bit incongruent with my understanding of it as a pure stimulus response situation.

  interesting observation your sibling also made. its commonly described as making the sufferer IRATE at the person causing of the sound which matches your comment anyone who experiences willing to shed light? id guess if the sufferer expects we all dislike certain sounds, causing them intentionally is especially hateful?

    Another observation is that they're either idle sounds (pen clicking, finger tapping) or necessary secondary sounds made during some activity. It's literally impossible to unwrap a piece of candy without making some noise, and damn near impossible to stir a liquid without the stirrer hitting the container once. >id guess if the sufferer expects we all dislike certain sounds, causing them intentionally is especially hateful? I think it's pointless to attempt to look at it rationally, given the reactions I've heard seem entirely irrational and disproportionate. I remember one time I was at work and a coworker on the opposite end of the room was using what I thought was the exact same model of mechanical keyboard I was using, with blue switches. I had never realized just how loud those things were until then. I kept glancing at him and could feel myself getting unreasonably annoyed, but I really had no grounds to say anything under any circumstance, given I had been using those very same switches in that same office very recently. What really struck me was how the same noise would sound pleasing when I made it and annoying when someone else made it, and I wondered if I had bothered someone with my typing, or if it was just me. I don't know if I'll use my own keyboard with clicky switches if I share an office with someone again.

omg tick tick tick. Does everyone have this to some extent? Or is it really only a thing neurospicy folks experience? I have to run away from my wife when she's chewing loudly sometimes, the rage is real. I've just realised that my hatred of foly in films is another symptom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(sound_design) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(sound_design)) - can't watch films where this is overdone. As others mentioned, noise cancelling headphones bring me so much peace.

Now I need a screechy audio that explains the "misovisia" I experience from seeing that graphic.
