I cant touch velour or velvet and i dont like silence hence why i have lots of clocks and radios.

I don't know that I would consider any of this a "phobia". I can tolerate it without complaint if need be...

Cardboard is #1. Particularly the kind that has more of a dry sound and feel... it hurts internally and I can't stand the feeling either, but it's mostly the sound... it's best described as chalk scratch for me...

I also don't tolerate well most things ASMR unless it's airy/atmospheric fun stuff (like fans)... but loud treble-y footsteps, bleating key click sounds, etc are bothersome. I love a good click-y keyboard. It's not the sound itself, I think it's the frequency. I don't think I do well with certain high pitched sounds. The phones both hub & I had before (we always buy the same one) had a higher frequency for speaker phone and boy did it travel... of course it pointed at people when he was holding it so the higher end was more pronounced. It was fine when facing away towards the ground. But yeah, using that and listening to it directly, I was pretty sensitive to that. I can still hear an old CRT come on before the picture shows up. I have to wear hearing protection when using vacuums, power tools, etc... which one should do anyway, especially the latter...

I do love the sound of a good fan, though. The old school fans that had the metal box and had that beautiful deep hum to it... mmm...

heights is the one for me. 2 steps up a ladder and i'm stuffed :laugh:

Everyone should be afraid of heights

Like everyone should be afraid of lava or Dementors

Goats and maggots.

Mmm yeah I have mentioned previously my hatred of silence and have a Siri / Google or Alexa in every room .. also can’t touch polystyrene

I love playing airplane white noise or rain during the afternoon

Same. Waves, wind in trees and footsteps on snow are others I enjoy.

I play vacuum noises for sleep.

Some spiders, small spaces freak me out

Yes that is white noise, I like that

Although airplane noise is more consistent

I have quite a few.

These are my top 5 fears at the moment, in reverse order:

Number 5 - https://otakuusamagazine.com/wp-cont...uglymug-cm.jpg




Number 4 - https://www.pcgamesn.com/wp-content/...ound-games.jpg









Number 3 - https://jollytomato.com/wp-content/u...ed-768x936.jpg a Pizza deserves more respect than this.:bawling:






Number 2 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c98729rkldet











And Number 1 - https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...64&s=131&d=131 and https://images.hellomagazine.com/ima...ke-judge-t.jpg

Dentist
Water (sea, lakes, pools etc)
Small spaces
Moths
Spiders (when they're in my bedroom :oh:)

Yeah though I like it when the hoover moves around so tend to find those types of videos on youtube. It reminds me of my childhood when my mum hoovered in the morning.

…yeah, that feels less the white noise itself so much as the link to a feeling…a feeling of safety/security/comfort type thing of your mom hoovering and the creation of calm in you that brought…I guess it’s a bit like what some psychologists would refer to as ‘finding that happy place’ of relaxing your body to sleep…
