Why do people whistle, do they think it's a show of talent?

People who have misophonia are most commonly angered, and even enraged, by common ambient sounds, such as other people clipping their nails, brushing teeth, eating crushed ice, eating, breathing, sniffing, talking, sneezing, yawning, walking, chewing gum, laughing, snoring, typing on a keyboard, whistling or coughing; certain consonants; or repetitive sounds

So nobody else finds this annoying. I am amazed. It's one of the most irritating things I can think of.

do you need a hug?

I often whistle, I don't consciously decide to do it, I usually just have a tune in my head and end up whistling to myself without noticing.

Maybe he's doing it just to annoy you?

Or perhaps he's trying to heighten his sense of hearing is he wearing a blindfold?

I've scanned through this thread but maybe just maybe he'd happy? I whistle sometimes if I'm feeling content with something.

If you are enraged by the sound of laughing, or worse yet - breathing - then you really need to find yourself a nice little uninhabited island somewhere.

Ideally whilst holding your own breath indefinitely, so that the sound of your own traitorous lungs doesn't send you into a mad frenzy.

No, in short, you're pretty much screwed.
