Sometimes, even if a car drives down our dirt road, it irritates me to the point of anger. And bagpipes--they drive me insane! My mother was the same way, so I'm sure it must be inherited.
I think you're onto something with the inherited part...or at least some sort of conditioning. My mother used to always tell me and my siblings to "stop slurping" at meal times and I really think it has somehow contributed to the absolute nightmare that is my brain when I hear other people chewing.
