Acousticophilia is a fetish involving sounds, where a person is being sexually aroused by any type of auditory stimulus like music, poetry, speaking in foreign language, partner’s moaning but also like screaming or verbal abuse.
There is an important differentiation to Auralism: Auralism is defined as sexual arousal or excitement that’s caused by sound and excludes such things as moaning or heavy breathing.
The key element to the definition of Acousticophilia is that the stimulus itself is not necessarily sexualized.
Possible Problems for people with Acousticophilia
If a common noise is triggering sexual arousal, it can be distressing and damaging to a person. Especially social life can be heavily impacted.
In rare cases, the preference can be so strong that a climax is not possible without the certain sound.
