Acousticophilia refers to sexual arousal, sexual urges, and preferences for certain sounds. The condition involves symptoms that can include an abnormal amount of time spent thinking about certain sounds, fantasies involving certain sounds, or a sexual preference for certain sounds.
Acousicophilia differs from melolagnia, a sexual arousal from music, in that acousticophilia can involve any type of sound, not just music. Acousticophilia can be damaging to an individual if a common noise is one that triggers sexual arousal. For some, the preference can be so strong that climax is not possible without the presence of the certain sound.
