What’s happening when a displeasing sound causes us to squirm?
In: Biology
Certain tones and sounds (such as nails on a chalkboard) are highly displeasing to us because the sound frequency is the similar to a high-pitch shrill scream, such as made by a creature in great distress.
You squirm because your body instinctively wants to respond to this as a scream and react in some form.
