This is work by my colleague Malinda McPherson, and was presented at ARO last year. The particular sounds are "nails on a chalkboard"-type sounds. It's amazingly cool work. I believe she's on this list but if not you can find her email address on our department
web page.

Dear Auditory, I'm trying to track down a poster providing cross-cultural evidence suggesting that an aversion to screechy noises (nails on chalkboard, knife on glass etc) is not consistent across cultures. Apparently this was presented at a conference in the
last year or two. I'm hearing about it secondhand so don't have any other information than this but it would be super helpful if someone knows whose poster it is, or, shot in the dark, if somebody has a pdf of it that they can share.
Many thanks
Sam
