Some of my most frequent anger sounds are:

Lip smacking during eating
Licking finger sound during eating
Crunching while eating
Loud gum chewing and snapping
Wet consonant sounds (like when someone makes a /k/ sound and I can hear the wetness in the back of their mouth)
Tapping fingers
Loud mouth breathing
Snoring
Voices that are above a whisper but still trying to be quiet
That slurpy sound people make while eating soup
Releasing air sounds that people make after drinking something

I’m sure there are more. It’s really isolating to have this intense anger for no good reason. People think I’m being prissy or demanding or making a big deal out of stupid piddly things — and I agree that they ARE stupid piddly things — but something different is apparently happening in my brain when I hear these sounds than the typical person experiences. I’m sorry you experience it too. It’s nice to learn that it’s not just me though.
Ewwww my father slurps everything and smacks when he chews.
