This drives me insane to the point of internal anger and disgust, but there's litte I can do about it. Nobody else gets it when I politely ask. I just have to bear the pain.

I'm susceptible to a few types of sounds I loathe:

- food/eating/mouth noises

- off-key singing

- chalkboard scraping (I think most people have an aversion to this)

These have been with me since a very young age and have never gone away.
