I can tolerate the screech of nails on a chalkboard and it’s super interesting that it’s in the range of human speech. The sound of rubbing a balloon or chewing on a piece of rubber literally makes my brain hurt..just the thought of it makes me squint. Is that also in the same sound range of speech?
