as far as the whisper people go, i have kind of a natural aversion to mouth sounds and when someone whispers in my ear i freak out a little. could never take that sinead o'connor a capella song where i can just hear her mouth and throat making noises. automatic writing DOES freak me the fuck out. but i'm all for field recordings of pencils and marbles. there are certainly a zillion avant garde records and CDs that do similar things and i dig those too. just remember you CAN try that kind of thing at home. anyone can make great ambient recordings with a decent recording device. its fun.

My ASMR triggers are hairdryers, vacuum cleaners and televisions on static channels, and I am often grateful for Youtube and the existence of videos of these sounds on a loop of 100 hours.

Other phrases to describe the sensation refer to it as a "brain orgasm", "brain massage", "head tingle", "brain tingles", "head orgasm", "spine tingle", and "braingasm".[4][5][6][7][8]
This sounds like a lot of fun. I'm going to try it out when I get home, because I'm at work

the whole thing with people saying "omg i have that too!" when the scientific community is either staying silent or calling bullshit really echoes the trypophobia phenomenon

Trying to explain what this is, how it feels as someone who experiences it and what's out there on Youtube etc to people in real life is one of the most ridiculous things you can attempt to do.

I don't have this but if you describe it to someone who does they instantly know what you're talking about. I hate them
― Number None, Sunday, 14 July 2013 19:31 (ten years ago) link
That is very true! When I found out this thing had a name I posted about it on Facebook and a lot of people responded seemingly having a eureka moment, having never though to Google it or whatever. I get triggers less from people talking and more from electrical appliances - hoovers, lawnmowers, hair dryers, televisions on static channels - and a workmate used to really tease me for being a weirdo about it, then he realised why he loves going to the doctor and the barber, because the idea of this ~feeling~ was so immediately familiar when it was described to him.

Is anyone else sort of immune to the videos? I've experienced this feelinf all my life but something about the staged, artificial nature of the videos meant to trigger the sensation falls flat with me. Not to mention a lot of the whisper videos come across as overbearing and downright creepy. It only seems to work for me if it's organic I.E. not made with the specific intent to trigger ASMR.

― ogmor, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 17:28 (ten years ago) link
If I put a vacuum cleaner on to do some cleaning myself I don't get it, but if I'm lying in my room and I can hear it through the walls I get it. The video loops of people hoovering for hours and hours work for me though.

i think a lot of my favorite music & recordings trigger this for me. Morton Feldman definitely has before. A lot of noise & ambient & psychedelic rock stuff too. The Haters, New Blockaders, etc.
