A babbling brook. A plastic bag. A nice, big bowl of noodles. What they all have in common: they make sounds people LOVE. We're talking about ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response: a sound phenomenon that can trigger a physical tingling response and calm people down.
As we mark International ASMR Day, discover the therapeutic benefits of the many sounds of ASMR, and explore the world's top favourite sensory noises.
