Tracking Down the "Embarrassing Memory" Noise
Merlin Mann | Jul 23 2008
Compelled to Blurt... | Ask Metafilter Like a lot of people in this Ask Metafilter thread, I thought I was the only person in the universe who made an unconscious little noise when remembering something stupid I did or said.
For context, my tic (which can also be heard when someone near me does something dumb) sounds a little like the noise Leo Bloom makes after he falls on his keys (00:34). "Ooooooom...." The Question to YouAnyone else do this? Anybody out there qualified to talk about the psychology or neuroscience behind this apparent phenomenon? I’ll bet there’s a cool, scientific name for it. 26 Comments

I saw that AskMeFi post yesterday, and I thought the poster was crazy... and then it got 50 favorites and a ton of replies with people saying they have the same thing. Now I feel like the only one who doesn't have a secret embarrassing memory noise. I feel left out. » POSTED IN:
