Pikachu
A slightly unusual ASMR: Pikachu.
When you think of ASMR, many people imagine chewing sounds or whispers—something to listen to with earphones as you fall asleep.
But this is the kind of ASMR you’ll want to watch closely while you listen.
Pokémon has tons of characters and everyone has their own favorite, but Pikachu is by far the most popular and iconic.
In this video, Pikachu scampers around the room, right and left, surprising and sulking, letting you hear all kinds of sounds.
It seems like something not only adults but kids can enjoy too.
brush
If you’re into the so-called “tingly” type of ASMR, this might be irresistible.
It features softly, densely bristled brushes—like makeup brushes—stroking the microphone, creating the sensation of someone gently rummaging around inside your ears.
Even if you regularly use brushes for makeup or cleaning, you probably never hear the sounds this clearly and distinctly, right? It’s an indescribable sound that won’t stop giving you tingles, and for those with this particular fetish, it’s the perfect, soothing treat.
Tapping sound of wood
Wood tapping sounds are also a popular form of ASMR.
Unlike metal or plastic, they have a calming quality and a warmth to them.
The sound of tapping a wooden board with fingernails and the rhythmic taps can even make you feel sleepy.
Whether it’s hitting wood with a different material or tapping wood against wood, the variety of sounds is pleasing to the ear—among tapping sounds, these are especially soothing and healing ASMR.
The sound of rubbing wooden balls together or the gentle noise of nuts like walnuts is also pleasant.
Since the tingling sensation is relatively mild, it’s likely easy for anyone to listen to.
paper
Paper is everywhere, something we often handle in everyday life.
You might think, “How many paper sounds can there really be?” but there are far more to enjoy than you’d imagine.
The sound of rubbing paper with your hand, paper rubbing against paper, crumpling it up, stretching out or folding the crumpled paper, folding, tearing, flipping pages—there’s a wide variety of sounds to enjoy.
If you listen with earphones and like tingly ASMR, the sounds of paper rubbing against paper and hand-rubbing are especially recommended.
ear pick
Ear cleaning is a classic in ASMR.
It’s a popular type because it makes you feel like someone is actually cleaning your ears, and the rustling sounds that mimic being touched inside the ear are so satisfying.
There are tons of videos—female or male performers, anime-style voices, whispers, deep soothing voices, relaxed and calm styles—so it’s fun to look for an ear-cleaning ASMR that suits your taste.
Some whispering styles can feel a bit embarrassing to listen to, but that tingly, shivery feeling can be surprisingly addictive (lol).
soap
Soap ASMR? It’s a bit hard to picture, but this ASMR mainly features the sounds of shaving and crushing bar soap.
If you simply shave a bar of soap with a box cutter or knife, the sound is very gentle and simple—calming and soothing.
When you score the soap with fine vertical and horizontal cuts and then slice it thinly along those lines, you hear tiny, regular, rhythmic sounds as the blade passes through the grooves.
It’s like a briskly falling line of dominoes—so pleasing to the ear that it becomes addictive.
In conclusion
There are many types of ASMR—did you find any that you liked? Depending on the sound, some are pleasant and some are not, but being able to listen to sounds you like for a long time can be very soothing, right? Try using them as background audio while you work or for a relaxing moment before bed.
