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

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like how working in the film industry has made you shutter instead of shudder

Damn it! Wrong shudder speed!

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)

[–] OlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This was specifically supposed to be gross. We needed audio of people chewing.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Ughh... oh, well. Enjoy! :)

My stepdad would eat bananas with his mouth wide open as he chewed. And he'd chew each bite for a solid minute before swallowing. Even though it's a banana and you can literally just mash it agains the roof of your mouth with your tongue. He would do this as he was driving, so I think he'd just get distracted and forget that he was still chewing food. But it made every ride to school in the morning an absolute living hell.

So I'm gonna go with bananas.

You're afraid of Japanese soup?

Fake Japanese soup specifically

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.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want to be in that room now.

Live mice would be pretty messed up.

I have free-roaming cats, so that's a sound I wake up to regularly.

The food doesn't matter if the person eating is my dad. He makes loud nasty noises no matter what he is eating. Once he is done eating the noise continues for 10 minutes because he is cleaning his teeth with his tongue.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Slurping on some hot soup. I don't know why, but that sound gets under my skin.

Jokes on them, listening isn't my torture. It's seeing people eat with their mouth open and especially bits falling out while chewing. Yuck

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.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

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.

Ice cubes. From a cup. That they are shaking periodically between sips/bites.

Back in the day, a girlfriend of mine eating fries and mayo. She is a professor at Leuven University now, very smart mind, sweet and handsome...but you wouldn't take her out to the snackbar because she would eat like a hungry pig.

Those asmr mukbang videos. I can't stand asmr sounds in general, eating makes it worse

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)"

Torture? My genitals and not in a fun way.

Are you doing research for a personal project or just asking for a friend?

My captor must have had experience working help desk. I've endured people eating chips and sandwiches, chewing gum, and sniffling with stopped up sinuses right in my ear, while trying to focus on fixing their computer.

Cottage cheese with nuts in it.
