Answer 1

The problem is that you're focusing on the nose too much.  Distract yourself by paying attention to something else, like listening to the musing that's playing, having a conversation or read.

Most people, including me don't even notice this noise.

Answer 2

ummmmm... think of something else

Answer 3

I have that problem! The worst is when people are chewing apples, I hate that the worst! I find it helps to chew something also and focus on that. Otherwise, if you know the person, politely ask them to chew more quietly.

Answer 4

If it is others that are not at your table, you just have to stick and bare it.  If it's at your table, tell them.  Please.  I hate hearing noisy chewers, and ones that l**k their forks and spoons.  

EWLEHEW

Answer 15

How about trying to focus on something not so petty?  Or find some dinner mates with better manners.  I'm sure you have never chewed loudly, have you?  Never?

Answer 16

Answer 18

I do, and i just learn ho to ignore it.

Answer 19

I have the same problem, but I don't see a need for ME to get rid of the feeling.  People chomping away and eating like pigs are disgusting, and I have actually asked dinner companions to please not chew with mouths open or really loudly.

Answer 20

just ask your friends who do that to try and stop. other than that just sit with people who dont eat like that
