Some people experience intense reactions to certain sounds — like chewing, tapping, breathing, or repetitive noises. If you’ve ever wondered “why certain sounds trigger me”, you’re not alone.

In this video, we explore the psychology behind misophonia, sound sensitivity, and why some everyday noises can feel overwhelming or unbearable for certain people. We’ll also talk about misophonia triggers, why these reactions happen, and why it’s important to have more open conversations about this often misunderstood experience.

This was actually a long-requested topic from many of you, and we hope this video can serve as an initial resource for anyone trying to better understand misophonia or sound sensitivity. For some people, simply having language for their experiences can be an important first step toward understanding what they’re feeling.
