Finally, something to bring the internet together – chewing noises are gross!
The sound of other people eating is a very common irritant, which can trigger bouts of misophonia – a very strong psychological reaction involving high levels of stress and disgust.
When BuzzFeed deliberately shared some loud chomping sounds, back in 2020 – the monsters! – it went down about as well as you’d expect.
Here’s the hellish soundscape in all its glory. Can you bear to turn the volume up?

And these reactions nail how just about everybody felt about it.

Nick Pettigrew tried to stomach it, but failed.
Nope, got two seconds in. Nope nope nope nope NOPE. That awful fucking wet smacking sound before they’ve even taken a bite. Like a slug fucking your ears.
