For a long time after my daughter was born, I wasn't sure if she could hear or not. I tried to get her to react / turn her head / wake up to voice, music, claps... Nothing.<p>One day I was taping up a box behind her and I pulled out a length of packing tape. It made that awful screeching noise and she was startled. It was a repeatable result. Her hearing was fine, she was just super chilled about noise in general. I found her limit with a roll of tape.
Can also be used for apple biting sound effect
This was a surprisingly satisfying and interesting read. Cool setup and delightfully random but well answered question.
"The screeching of peeling tape is a familiar albeit annoying sound."<p>I don't find it annoying, I quite like it. The only time I've experienced "ASMR" was from somebody peeling tape next to me.
Scotch tape just keeps on giving in science.
