I once saw an asmr video of a guy brushing water on raw wood, it sounded heavenly. The brushing sounds mixed with sounds of the wood absorbing the water and expanding were sooo nice.

Funnily enough it’s not even a trigger that really gets me, it’s when there is actual ambience in the background instead of the usual pure silence. Gentle melody, rain, crickets, nostalgic train horn, fire crackling, muffled talking, cars driving, air conditioner whirring, footsteps, breathing.

scratching the ribbed bottom of a glass jar.. especially if you have water in the jar and move it back and forth, the change in pitch/tone of the sound is soooo good

I once saw a video where an artist delicately rummaged through a jar of paintbrushes (to select which one to start his painting with) for a solid 10 mins. It was the most relaxing thing ever.

Here are my highly specific triggers: Peeling stickers out of a sticker book. Construction paper cutting. And those 90’s ball-hair ties clinking together. Lacing up a tennis shoe with shoelace. Squeezing out a sponge. Opening and closing jars. Soft-clicking computer mouse or remote. Those mist spray bottles

When clear slime is draped over a mic and gently rubbed is heavenly. It gives me the impression of being deep underwater and listening to bubbles rise to the surface. It’s super relaxing

The sound of a pinecone is wildly unexpected, but amazing! Also the needles of a cactus.

I once watched (and to this day watch) a rare ASMR 3dio video of hair care consisting of head massages (bare hands massaging a cheap wig on top of the 3dio) and a haircut which was just the sound of the scissors. Combine that with a soothing, sweet and naturally whispery voice and you've got a K.O. combo. Wig and scissor sounds were unexpectedly relaxing to me. I've been listening to ASMR for years and still can't get over it.

Going from one ear to the other really quickly. Not just regular panning, though that is awesome too, but going back and forth, left to right, quickly. Some ASMRits do it briefly but never longer than a few seconds. I've been searching for a longer segment of it for the longest time. I find it more often in 8d music than anything else.

CRUNCHY SOUNDS, not like eating crunchy foods, just crunchy things you can touch. Like snow/compact ice, hard sponges uhhhhhh, can't think of anything else

in your last video, i actually loved the beginning of the tea cake breaking section when u were just running your hands over the paper. the wrapping had a unique resonant "echo" that i really enjoyed.

Maybe not a unique trigger but I love fluid pendulum back and forth noises, like a noise that very evenly passes from ear to ear, not too fast not too slow. Getting the right tempo with it makes my spine feel like it's melting

I love the sound of thick paper bags being opened. Like ones from perfume stores for example. You never know how the paper is going to crinkle when you open it and the sound is always unique to me :)

Honestly I've been really into Zen Garden ASMR lately where they drag the little rake in pretty patterns around black sand. It's so nice for tingles 🥺

Sharp scissors cutting fabric. I listened to a sewing ASMR video and it was awesome.

Hmmm.. if there's one trigger I only saw like once on a now deleted channel (sadly), I don't remember clearly but.. It was something like stuffed bear brushing? it really relaxed me! Any stuffed bear and any brush works!

The shells of raw eggs and the cardboard cartons, tapping and scratching both! I was pleasantly surprised with that one from @ASMRlot recently

Idk if it's that unique, but unwrapping candy is so satisfying to me.

Are there any unexpected triggers (things that sound different than how you would imagine it to be or things that sound surprisingly good) you wish to see in an ASMR video?
