“…Results from the present study extend previous research [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] by identifying a set of standardized sounds in an accessible sound bank that differentiate those with and without high misophonia symptom severity and impairment. While the IADS-2 are not completely accessible, as is the FOAMS database, it is available to any Ph.D. holding faculty who submits a request form.…”

“…While the IADS-2 are not completely accessible, as is the FOAMS database, it is available to any Ph.D. holding faculty who submits a request form. Unlike previous studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], the sounds in our study were standardized in terms of length, volume, duration, and other sound qualities. This ensured that inconsistencies in acoustic properties of stimuli could not confound results.…”

“…A number of studies have used recorded sounds to obtain a more objective measure of how individuals with misophonia respond to sounds in laboratory conditions. However, these studies largely have used unstandardized stimuli, with sound content chosen based on known triggers from the emerging research literature, and recordings taken from different sources, including YouTube and those created by researchers [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. One recent study used a data driven approach to create a sound bank composed of standardized sounds [14], though sounds were chosen a priori from multiple sources with unknown psychometric properties.…”

Misophonia is a condition characterized by negative affect, intolerance, and functional impairment in response to particular repetitive sounds usually made by others (e.g., chewing, sniffing, pen tapping) and associated stimuli. To date, researchers have largely studied misophonia using self-report measures. As the field is quickly expanding, assessment approaches need to advance to include more objective measures capable of differentiating those with and without misophonia. Although several studies have used sounds as experimental stimuli, few have used standardized stimuli sets with demonstrated reliability or validity. To conduct rigorous research in an effort to better understand misophonia, it is important to have an easily accessible, standardized set of acoustic stimuli for use across studies. Accordingly, in the present study, the International Affective Digitized Sounds (IADS-2), developed by Bradley and Lang (Bradley MM et al., 2007), were used to determine whether participants with misophonia responded to certain standardized sounds differently than a control group. Participants were 377 adults (132 participants with misophonia and 245 controls) recruited from an online platform to complete several questionnaires and respond to four probes (arousal, valence, similarity to personally-relevant aversive sounds, and sound avoidance) in response to normed pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral IADS-2 sounds. Findings indicated that compared to controls, participants with high misophonia symptoms rated pleasant and neutral sounds as significantly more (a) arousing and similar to trigger sounds in their everyday life, (b) unpleasant and (c) likely to be avoided in everyday life. For future scientific and clinical innovation, we include a ranked list of IADS-2 stimuli differentiating responses in those with and without misophonia, which we call the IADS-M.
