I think I know what you are talking about. I noticed there are some shows where you can hear the person licking their lips or something like that when they talk.

I remember in my Wills class, we had two young women who would bring a pile of snacks to class every evening (took it over the summer). They would sit there with their snacks, eating the whole class. I couldn't believe the professor would tolerate it, considering they sat right up front.
