I was wondering if this wasn't the same effect that ASMR exploits, but:

> ASMR aficionados make a distinction between ASMR and frisson, the goosebumps and tingles that can be produced by an amazing piece of music.

TIL! (I've never really tried ASMR, but I have a few songs that semi-reliably trigger this "frisson".)

I listen to music all day while working that frequently triggers frisson. However, I cannot stand ASMR, especially bodily noises including mouth stuff like talking and lip smacking. That might just be Misophonia (TIL) though.

I am the same. I have an irrational hatred of those wet-mouth whisper videos, it makes my skin crawl but not in the same way as this article describes.
