| 0:00.0 | Have you ever been sitting next to someone while they're eating and the noise that they're making |
| 0:04.0 | it aggravates you? Have you ever had that experience where someone is sitting next to you at the |
| 0:09.4 | theater or something and they're chewing on their popcorn and it just starts to drive you crazy? |
| 0:16.2 | Well, there are some people that actually have an exaggerated version of this in that they will become extremely hyper aroused and emotional and angry and even depressed and anxious when they hear particular sounds and particularly sounds that other people make with their mouths. |
