Sensory experience

There are sounds smells textures etc that make us in many ways feel uncomfortable or they are even unbearable. But maybe there are also those which give us some pleasant experience? For me unbeatable are all high pitch sounds, squeaks, for example a tram taking turn on the rails, cars breaks, but also adhesive tape (shakes my brain) children’s screams - feeling paralysed and hyperventilating, Duplo blocks, like demolishing wall with hammers, i also hate sounds of plastic bags. But sometimes their sound is pleasant if it’s the thicker plastic. I work in a warehouse, I control the deliveries everyday. Having a can of paint in my hands, the sound of this creamy liquid inside gives me a nice sweet taste of caramel and whipped cream, when I see and touch the wood, I feel taste of nuts in my mouth, when I have small bags filled with screws I feel a green cabbage in my mouth, but the best and my favorite sound is a monotonous (low pitched) sound of working engine, such as old trams in my city, or my granny’s old Russian refrigerator. I build a Music in my head based on this monotonous sound. And it plays in my head itself as long as I sit there. Unfortunately as soon as the sound stops, the music also stops and I forget it quickly. Maybe I should learn the notes to start saving the music which plays in my head. My mom was amazed with this experience when I told her. For me also languages have tastes and smells and temperature. English is minty, cold and fresh. German is salty and crispy, Russian is a bit bitter and sweet-sour, like dark chocolate with orange or black coffee with lemon juice. I also remember shivering and having goosebumps whenever I had to touch or sit on chair covered with velvet. In a car for example. 
Anyone likes to share their sensory experience?

  • Even thinking about polystyrene gives me goosebumps - literally - I have them now thinking about the stuff Scream

  • The sound of expanded polystyrene being cut or rubbing together is horrible!

  • I break up polystyrene packaging and use it as crocks in big garden tubs. I fill them about a third full, the roots of most plants don't need loads of depth and the polystyrene keeps them light enough to move fairly easily. I agree it's a horrible noise, it makes my teeth hurt.

    I hate the sound and feel of scratching denim or any cotton really, high pitched noises from tools etc and the old dial up electrical screaming would send me running from the house. The smell of frying bacon and BBO's or fish and chips, they don't smell like food!

    I love fresh cotton sheets, velvet and fur, the smell of coffee and bread, a rose garden, the sounds and smells of a forest, kicking piles of autumn leaves, the sounds of oyster catchers and curlews and the gentle rhythmic sound of waves on the beach. The ringing silence of a really cold clear night in the countryside, it's like the afternote of a bell.

  • No, it's really not, I find it disgusting and the burger van in the car park, hot dog vans and all the other salmonella trucks in almost every beauty spot.
