Do you have this?

A new study has found people are most likely to feel irritated by the sound of loud breathing, sniffing or barking.

Research has found almost one in five people are affected by a condition called 'Misophonia'

It's when someone is emotionally affected by common sounds.

Data published in the journal PLOS One, found 18.4 per cent of people had a significant problem with Misophonia, but only 2.3 per cent thought they had the condition.

Some other common sounds that tend to affect people with Misophonia are nail-clipping, tapping and joint-cracking.
