  It's a shame these trigger an almost exact opposite effect for me. The sounds which soothe others make me irritable, twitchy, and tense. I find it very fascinating how differently people can respond to the same stimuli.

  This reminds me of a great This American Life Episode: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/491/tribes?act=2 http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/491/t... The TAL journalist offers a more personal perspective of what ASMR is like. If you find this kind of thing interesting its well worth a listen.

  Is this phenomenon the same as the "goosebumps" you often get when listening to a favourite song or thinking about a happy memory?

    A similar feeling, but more to much more intense.
