Loud Noises when I swallow that don't sound nornal

[Nobody456]

Hi, I am having real trouble with my partner's loud swallowing noises. It does not only happen VERY loudly when he is drinking (specially) but even with his own saliva and I sometimes get really frustrated. Basically we need to have the radio or TV on when we eat so I don't hear him. It is getting annoying and I was wondering if it is related to something else and if it can be remedied. PLEASE HELP!! :(

My grandma does the same thing, its very loud, but she isn't doing it on purpose. When the noise happens its involuntary. You can control it if you take slow sips, but general drinking of liquids is just uncontrollable. Not everyone has this problem.

For the people saying that swallowing loudly is annoying or poor etiquette, for the love of God get over yourselves! Some people cannot help it and are just as conscious of it as you. I find it ridiculous that people like you make others feel uncomfortable to do a natural thing like eating or drinking so as not to disturb/annoy others. Utterly shameful!!

Bravo! I have the same problem and made to feel bad about it with dirty looks and etc.

Grow up and quit whining. Sometimes people can help it, but don't because people like you tread on egg shells around them.

Have him try this:  
Take a swallow (of a drink or a bite of food)
Exhale first
Then swallow

And see if that helps.

I think what loud swallowers do is
Inhale
Swallow
Then Exhale (causing gasping or loud gulping sounds)
