For me, it’s corn on the cob.
I work in film post-production. One time, my team needed audio of people eating, so our sound guy recorded us eating our lunch with a really sensitive mic. When I was editing the audio in, it was really gross at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly.
The thing that still haunts me is the really subtle sound of forks hitting teeth. shutters

Bad idea indeed. Next time tell him he should record people using forks and knives and plates, but not any sounds that come from the mouth.
Scenes where people eat are “cleaned” very much in films. You see and hear people talking, playing a little with their food and that’s that. Never the real action of chewing, swallowing etc. (unless the film actually wants to create some bad vibes)
This was specifically supposed to be gross. We needed audio of people chewing.
Ughh… oh, well. Enjoy! :)
I like how working in the film industry has made you shutter instead of shudder
Damn it! Wrong shudder speed!
Doesn’t matter what they are eating. Their mouth is open and they are mouth breathing as they chew.
Make it garlic then, just to be sure
My dad eating cereal. Every spoonful was slurped loudly.

I’m so deaf I could sit in a room full of large, sweaty men slurping chicken off drumsticks while making open-mouthed, gruntled dad noises with every gasping breath, and it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. Well, other than such a room existing, that is.
I want to be in that room now.

catpussyYou want them to eat cats? In this political climate? 😄
dim sum and they have a clicky jaw
I have a condition called misophonia. Just kill me instead. Please.
You’re afraid of Japanese soup?
Fake Japanese soup specifically
Same. I hate eating with other people unless theirs a loud tv/music in the background. I have found that those loop earplugs help with it at least but then you have to answer questions about what those are.
Oh my god those loop earplugs have been a lifesaver! Started using them about a year ago. Can’t recommend them enough for anyone else suffering
My brother’s wife bought me a pair a couple years ago and I was really skeptical but they are great. They also help me not get stressed out when I’m around loud children which was another big issue for me. I actually enjoy going to family gatherings now and don’t have to step away to calm my nerves every 30 minutes or so.
Live mice would be pretty messed up.
I have free-roaming cats, so that’s a sound I wake up to regularly.
Aluminum foil.
I’m torn between “no teeth (just gums) and a mouth stuffed with chocolate pudding (specifically the one that many American buffet restaurants use)” and “crunching jagged jawbreakers (or rocks)”
Slurping on some hot soup. I don’t know why, but that sound gets under my skin.
Cold soup isn’t nearly as annoying.
Something alive which can scream.
“Themselves”
For me, it’s corn on the cob.
Man, I dunno if I really want to explore this rabbit hole, but I’m sure that there’s much-less-tolerable stuff out there. Say, live mice or something.
Did you read the other person’s suggestion about mice or are there two people here to independently came up with this grim idea?
I just posted it myself as the first thing that came to mind with something small and cute and noise-making. Hadn’t read other comments at that point.
I was honestly envisioning foods that people eat normally, that might sound disgusting. But I don’t want to be too restrictive of answers now.
Honey. Licking makes me want to remove my ears
