Subject: [AUDITORY] aversion to screechy sounds From: Samuel Mehr <sam@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2025 17:42:39 -0500----==_mimepart_67898b5fed80f_501f5c8128676 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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.
