ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) can be triggered by various sounds that induce relaxation and pleasurable tingling. Common auditory triggers include whispers, tapping, and crinkling sounds. For instance, the gentle sound of fingernails tapping on a surface and the soft rustle of paper can evoke tingling sensations, creating a calming experience for many individuals[2][4].

Other auditory triggers that people often respond to are brushing sounds, water sounds like rain or streams, and page turning[3][5]. These sounds, along with personal attention scenarios and role-play ASMR, contribute to the diverse array of stimuli that can elicit an ASMR reaction[1][4].
