I always thought this was exclusively for people repulsed by chewing, so it makes me wonder if I have some mild form of this. I will notice the most faint and quiet beeping, buzzing, squealing, etc. I’ll ask others around me and they shrug it off or can’t even hear what I’m talking about. For example the whine from a transformer in a charging brick, I always can hear it.
