Yes, sounds drive me crazy too!! I hate people chewing food and gum. And how about 100 people chewing popcorn in a movie theater?!
But even worse for me than these repetitive type noises are constant noises. I hate the sound of machines humming, like computers. The buzzing of florescent lights too. Outside of my bedroom at my apartment there are a ton of heaters and AC units. They are constantly humming.
But even when there's silence, I can then hear a ringing in my ears. So there's no getting away from sounds
