Noise play involves sexual arousal from sounds or using sound as an element of play. This might include specific sounds that trigger arousal, requiring silence, enforcing noise from a partner, or using sounds for psychological effect.
Common sounds include voice (moaning, commands), physical sounds (impacts, chains rattling), mechanical sounds, or nature sounds. Some combine noise with other sensory deprivation.
The appeal can be audio-sensory, psychological (meaning of sounds), or combined with other elements.
Safety is generally low-risk but involves consent about noise levels, awareness of hearing damage with very loud sounds, and respecting sound boundaries.
