I would call it chalkboard screech.Dec 17, 2011
The squeal is produced as a result of the piece of chalk skipping along the blackboard.
Researchers say the shape of the human ear may amplify certain aspects of the sound of fingernails or chalk scraping on a chalkboard to make it even more annoying to the listener. In addition, people's perceptions about these irritating sounds may increase stress levels and how they rate the sound.Nov 4, 2011
In a 2011 study, musicologists Michael Oehler and Christoph Reuter hypothesize that the unpleasantness of the sound is caused by acoustic resonance due to the shape of the human ear canal which amplifies certain frequencies, especially those in the range of 2000 to 4000 Hz (the median pitches mentioned above); at such ...
He says the most obnoxious frequencies of the noise are amplified by the shape of the human ear canal — making people cringe when they hear it.Nov 9, 2011
Misophonia is a disorder in which certain sounds trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstance. Those who have misophonia might describe it as when a sound “drives you crazy.” Their reactions can range from anger and annoyance to panic and the need to flee.Dec 13, 2020
But although grima is most often associated with sounds, some participants said grima was triggered by the feel of certain objects – as foam rubber does for Schweiger. Some were objects associated with loud noises, but others were objects that don't make noise, such as cork, velvet or sponges.Feb 28, 2017
The most dangerous frequency is at the median alpha-rhythm frequencies of the brain: 7 hz. This is also the resonant frequency of the body's organs.Dec 28, 2017
There are a few sounds such as nails on the chalkboard, that make one's skin crawl. This happens because when we hear the sound and the sound waves travel from our ears to the brain. Thus the sound energy is converted into nerve impulse.
Discussion. Grima is predominantly generated by high-pitched and squeaking noises. In fact, noises and squeaking, as well as scratching or touching with fingernails and scratching or touching of surfaces were exclusively mentioned as features of grima.Feb 3, 2017
The findings suggest that the fingernail-chalkboard sound triggers an uptick in communication between a region of the brain involved in hearing and another region of the brain involved in emotions.Dec 6, 2016
You might not have heard of "grima", but you have almost certainly felt it. It's a word to describe the feeling we get when we hear the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard, or a knife scratching a plate. Now psychologists in Spain are suggesting it should be considered its own emotion.Mar 2, 2017
