For example popping a bottle lid off/on. Or clicking a pen "click" "click" to me it seems soothing and I at times don't even realize I'm doing it until family OMG! stop doing that! I LOVE clicking and popping bottle and basic small noises. It's BIG BURRR cars that I hate! Or loud singing music which I also hate! Had to go find a quiet type place on our Sept. cruise. :-)

Elastic bands! Maybe it's because I'm a bass player, but I can't see an elastic band without feeling the urge to "twang" it!

Not, sure if this is the same, but I act like piplup, and say "Pip" or "Lup" or "Piplup". :)

Oh yeah. Either clicking something or banging something or making my own sound effect. Totally wrapped up in it until off in the distance I hear my name being called, gets more clear, "Huh?" "Please stop doing that".
