loud chewing
Noisy food grinding
Loud chewing is eating in a way that produces audible sounds—smacking, crunching, or open-mouthed mastication.
The phrase usually carries disapproval, since chewing quietly is considered basic table manners in most cultures: His loud chewing made dinner unbearable.
For some people, loud chewing triggers an intense aversive reaction called misophonia.
