Haha sorry for the out of field question, I'm currently studying a bit of psychology on the side and I've become very interested in our brains' mental processes and such. I also just assumed that ASMR was common knowledge, which apparently it really isn't.
You guys should look up those ASMR videos on youtube, they're really quite a peculiar thing to listen to.
This article actually ties into a lot about what I'm learning from a psychology book that I'm currently reading. One other interesting thing that you may not know is that musicians, such as pianists, actually have developed unique parts of their brains that are specifically designed to process auditory code in a more elaborate way. It makes me feel kind of weird as an amateur pianist haha.

alllllright this is the last off topic post for me
I'd never heard of ASMR, it sounds very interesting, though straight off the bat I can tell you gentle whispering isn't something I enjoy from some past experiences, it may actually do me more harm than good.
I am quite sensitive to subtle sounds. I'll stick to goosebumps and engaging (brief) body rushes. There was a certain rig I had (a few actually) I could bring on instant goose bumps using some Andrea Bocelli tracks at will. A83 / Alien was (is) one of those combinations, though like I mentioned it appears my body/brain has become immune overtime and doesn't become as thrilled now, any goose bumps are a lot smaller or very faint.
