Sounds that feel good: ASMR

Tweet

Sounds that feel good, ASMR.  ASMR stands for Autonomous sensory meridian response.  People who have the ability can get a mildly pleasurable tingle response from listening to certain sounds.  From what I've read either people have it, or they don't  I think I have a very mild case of it myself.  The most popular sounds that trigger this response seem to be things like paper crumpling, tissue, scratch sounds, whispers.  There are a whole large variety of these videos on YouTube, from people making scratch scratch sounds, to guided ASMR where they tell you a nice story or a do some role play, whispering to you as though you're getting a massage done.  Only a few of the sounds seem to work for me, some of the sounds (lip smacking) make me want to punch someone lol.  One thing is for sure some of the videos are very relaxing - ASMR or no.  Here's a link to one I like.
