It’s the vibration that’s made from styrofoam rubbing or biting on undercooked green beans. It can also come from walking on fresh snow. The vibration can almost be incapacitating like if a baby were crying in your spine.

    thanks for the idea! here’s how it went:

    User: what’s the name of the sound styrofoam makes when rubbed together?

    ChatGPT: The sound produced when styrofoam is rubbed together is commonly referred to as “squeaking” or “squealing.” The friction between the styrofoam surfaces creates vibrations that result in this distinctive high-pitched sound.

    User: what’s the name of the feeling people get when repulsed by the squeak of styrofoam

    ChatGPT: The feeling of repulsion or discomfort that some people experience in response to certain sounds, including the squeak of styrofoam, is known as misophonia. Misophonia is a condition characterized by a strong emotional or physiological response to specific sounds, often described as “trigger sounds.” These trigger sounds can vary from person to person, but they typically elicit negative feelings, such as irritation, anxiety, or disgust.
