Yup that’s a common one! For me it’s usually certain vocal ranges, and others’ subconscious habits like tapping their feet.

If I had to guess, that sounds an awful lot like hyperacusis. Which is more common in ADHD, along with auditory processing disorder and potentially even tinnitus.

For me, I'd lean more toward Misophonia, though they have very similar descriptions. The sound doesn't cause pain, just intense emotional reactions.
