Until I had a conversation with someone else about this, I had no idea that there was actually a name for it. I can't stand the sounds of eating, either, especially when the person scrapes the utensil with their teeth. Drives me crazy. I am also sensitive to high-pitched voices.
There is a guy in my office that, for whatever reason, likes to do things like whistle, clap his hands, drum on his desk with his hands or a pen, and snap his fingers. It's really distracting. Thanks to meds and having my desk moved, he's at less of a risk of being punched in the face.
