That song you once loved? Now it’s your alarm—and you hate it. Why does the brain turn comforting sounds into sources of stress? In this episode, we explore the strange psychology of sound aversion: from ASMR losing its charm, to alarms ruining your playlist, to ancient queens who loved the sound of silk tearing.
