Children.

I have so many. Here are some top ones:

• Grinding metal utensils on plates/teeth
• Stepping on something wet
• Motorcycles / purposefully loud exhaust mods
• Most mouth sounds in general

If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else

Store Music

I hate it.

Holiday music. Too repetitive.

A crowd talking.

Basically, it can be summed up as, TOO MUCH FUCKING NOISE

(I just want some silence 🥲)

• Loud conversations. If you need to speak loudly at the person right next to you, you need to get your hearing checked.
• Excessive perfume
• Bright headlights

My wife hates eating noises. I never used to notice them, but she complains a lot.

She also eats pretzels and chews ice all the time. Now it fucking annoys me.

Hearing the sound of people eating. Especially if it's louder than what i would consider normal.

The sound of styrofoam touching anything make my hair stand up. I hate the sound of a lot of fans and blowers so I wear noise canceling headphones when I can. In terms of touch, I loathe the feel of certain weaves of synthetic fabric. I don’t wear it but I have some blankets made of it so I handle those with gloves. (I bought them on accident.)

The fact that 99% of LED Christmas lights are mini strobe lights.

Barking. It drives me absolutely mad.

Unfortunately in the US people are OBSESSED with dogs. Everyone has one and so many people just leave them outside to bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and.... :/

Dry, dirty hands after working in the garden. I mean dry.

Sharp Scrape of utensil on plate.

A thick seam on socks at the toes.

Too-tight clothing.

Repetitive noise.

Sometimes people chewing. Or talking around chewing.

Dyson hand dryers.

How something so loud can be installed in public without hearing protection beats me.

This miiiiight not be a sensory thing, but here goes.

To me, everything has, like, a correct feeling it has to give before leaving it to rest. If not, it's a little too rough, or smooth, it just feels off. And I can keep feeling it after stopping touching it. And anytime I look at the object. I can feel it when I watch a movie or show and someone puts something down in some indescribably wrong way.

To be clear, this isn't a placement thing. Organization and whatnot don't matter, it's just like "Oh my foot just dragged forward on the carpet, that was weird and rough forward, now I have to do it backward to make it feel right," or "I just out that down and from the sound, I can tell it went down wrong. I gotta go adjust it." That loops until I get it just right, usually a process of 2-45 minutes.

Eating noises

Fibers snagging on a chewed or broken nail

Microfiber towels sticking to dry skin on your hands like velcro. Soggy sandwich bread. The way cotton balls feel and sound when you pull them apart. Non-skid on bare feet. Wooden utensils or popsicle stick wood on my tongue. Being touched by dogs with wet beards. Trying to sleep in bed with dirty feet. Synthetic fragrances.

I'm sure there's more.

Pencil with the tip broken off on paper.

High pitched noises (CRT displays, dyson vacuums)

Sweating while wearing full clothing

Microfiber hand towels that don't properly absorb water

Loud low frequency noise. So cars, leaf blowers, lawn mowers.

I generally don't like people touching me. Even with my wife it can be a little upsetting depending on the duration.

This whole thread shoulda come with a trigger warning, lol

Stickiness anywhere on my body, but it most often happens when I eat something sticky with my hands like a caramel or something.

Having something stuck between my teeth.

Mouth noises and ASMR stuff. Makes me want to break things. Condition’s called misophonia.

Chalky foods (merengues, smartie candies, antacids, etc). I also hate the sound of chalk being used. It makes my teeth hurt.

Blue LEDs that aren't properly balanced (they give me migraines)

Electricity whining (I can hear this almost anywhere inside)

Dense fleeces (they make me itchy regardless of material)

Turtlenecks (I feel like I am choking)

Where do I even start? The one that affects me most is that I absolutely can't stand wearing any pants at all.

I hate the texture of all sorts of porridge and oatmeal with a flaming passion. Wearing a coat indoors for more than five seconds makes me want to punch something. When you're at a beach, come out of the water, and your feet are covered in sand. (bonus points if you're trying to put shoes on)

Sandpaper. Dry skin. Dry clay on my skin. A lot of plastic things. Body hair touching me. Dry lips. Sleeves that are too tight around the armpits. Neon colors. Those fucking bright lights that look like they're made for the purpose of blinding people. Flashing lights. The sound of people chewing or even swallowing loudly. Nearly all beeping sounds.

I hate things on my face. Glasses, masks, creams, etc. Covid mask requirements drove me crazy. Still followed them because I'm not an idiot or an asshole, but, boy was I always happy to get the fuck back to my car or home so I could remove it.

I also hate cacophonies. A single loud sound is annoying but not unbearable. Being in a crowded space where hundreds of people are talking, even at a normal volume, however, is maddening. I used to have recurring nightmares about people coming up to speak to me and when they opened their mouth, it was just that murmuring sound of a large crowd. Shit gives me the willies. 😬

Acrylic blankets and microfiber. I just can't. Even thinking about it make me cringe.

I can't stand chewing noises over headphones. its fucked up to eat when your mic is on dont do it

Dry hands. I absolutely have to moisturize at all times.

The sound of a metal utensil squeaking against a plate. Nails on a chalkboard. Dry skin on dry paper. The smell of tobacco smoke. The sound of a modified or worn out muffler on a car or motorcycle. The tickle of a runny nose. The tickle of drops of sweat running down my face and back on a hot day.

Touching cardboard, I have realized how rough and dirty it is.

Stepping on crumbs with my bare feet.

Loud music in restaurants

People reacting loudly at sports (sudden clapping, yelling, etc)

Velvet

Leather not letting sweat evaporate

• Wooden spoons

• Unglazed ceramic

• Synthetic fur / thermal fabric that sticks just a little bit to the microscopic burrs on the tips of your fingers

A plastic disposable straw in a plastic disposable lid. The sound hurts my teeth.
