Drunk chicks screaming "WOOOO!" goes right through me.

In Japan noodle slurping is the go-to way of eating noodles. So if we redid that study does that mean all food noises would spike the Japanese's BP but noodles alone would not spike BP? If that's the case it would mean the list is at least partially culturally-prescribed and not universal.

Depends on the person maybe.

Chewing doesn't bother me if it's a dry, crunching sound. Wet, smacking sounds when chewing (ie, mouth open chewing) for me though is the ultimate no. Can't. Won't.

And personally, I love the sound of cracks/pops of knuckles or other parts. A person I used to work with would twist to crack her back. A full run up the spine is one of the most satisfying sounds in the world.

For me it's whistling. I'd rather listen to Brendan Schaub cracking jokes about my dick

Cereal and other similar foods are commonly slurped as well.

Nose sniffling while sick seems common for some countries as well.

Agree with your point, the study might be scientific in nature, but it's culture specific.

People talking loudly and excessively on phones in a public place or transportation.

 

[Volador]

I object



But really most of those aren't that bad. Styrofoam squeaking against the freezer walls is #1 for me.
