the only sounds that give me a solid reaction are wet mouth sounds. everything else just feels like it doesn't quite work. the feeling is almost there, but the sense of satisfaction and relief doesn't complete.

its a very strange phenomenon to try to describe. but its unmistakeable and unprovoked by anything else.

For me, I've only really had the sensation once, triggered by the writing of a fountain pen and the soft and slightly rasping voice of a university supervisor. I'm very familiar with the "doesn't quite work" feeling, though. Anyway, it seems to be scratching kinds of noises for me.

Quite peculiar, isn't it? So many people who experience similar feeling, but from such a wide range of triggers.

I really hope that it will be studied in the future instead of being dismissed as a hoax as some people do.
