The sloppy eating noise can get to me sometimes and I do dislike eating without any kind of background noise one like radio or TV. But for me it's stuff like someone pouring water out of the kettle into a mug, sizzling baking trays/pans, gentle simmering water and stuff like that. No idea why but deep down I think it's because I just associate it with adverts/TV/films that seem to use that kind of sound to signify some joyous warmth and relaxation when in reality for me it just puts me on edge for some reason. Hate the Bisto and Lurpak adverts for this reason and also the trend of cooking videos online where they'll whisper in some ASMR way 'and listen to this' before scraping a knife across the top of something that's crispy before letting out an orgasmic moan.
