eating sounds

Slurps and crunches

Eating sounds are the noises people make while consuming food—chewing, slurping, crunching, smacking lips.

The phrase typically appears in contexts where such sounds are unwelcome: I can't stand eating sounds, She wore headphones to block out his eating sounds.

For some people, eating sounds trigger intense irritation or disgust, a sensitivity sometimes called misophonia.
