Test how sensible you are to ASMR sounds

Questions for anyone who may know:<p>Is ASMR, or rather the sensation of it related to, or are there any parallels between ASMR and white noise?<p>I ask as someone who doesn&#x27;t really get much from common things I see labelled as &quot;ASMR triggers&quot;, in fact in some cases quite the opposite (audio clips of deep whispering directly into a microphone for example-make me deeply uncomfortable and want to be removed as quickly as possible from the audio source-yet this is a deeply popular ASMR trigger for others-which is fine)-leading me to think I might be one of those people with a mild case of undiagnosed misophonia (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Misophonia" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Misophonia</a>), yet static noise (white, brown, pink) are absolute musts for sleep because of a severe case of fully-diagnosed tinnitus.<p>There&#x27;s no tingly feelings or emotional responses, the white noise just effectively masks the ringing-which in a well insulated and quiet enough room, can be (paradoxically) deafening.
