You are right, some sounds are just disgusting because they are without any background. Or maybe you learned that they have to be disgusting. Ever thought about the fact that the majority of the human population is in some way afraid of spiders? Maybe they started to be afraid only because they adapted to a common behaviour... ;-) Screeching sounds not always sounds like the warning noise of chimps. I think many people can distinguish between noise that was generated by nails on the chartboard and real life animals that warning eachother by making some special noise. But it is right that sounds mainly consists of high frequencies are making most humans feeling uncomfortable. It is also considered for noise evaluation of computers. High frequencies are rated more disturbing even when they aren´t as loud as low frequencies are...Bambi said:we dont like screeching sounds cos its similar to the warning noise chimps make when theres danger present. Primal throwback like, either that or everyone in the history of the world was traumatised by the same event as a kid...the dentist conspiracy. Next!!
It also is about learning behaviours... You are right there is much room between disgusting and warning sounds and a reaction of fear for a traumatic event. The reaction of fear caused by a traumatization mostly is totally irrational and shows no causality in behaviour.
Ähmm, we aren´t talking about conspiracies only about apparent similarities.
