For a long time after my daughter was born, I wasn't sure if she could hear or not. I tried to get her to react / turn her head / wake up to voice, music, claps... Nothing.
One day I was taping up a box behind her and I pulled out a length of packing tape. It made that awful screeching noise and she was startled. It was a repeatable result. Her hearing was fine, she was just super chilled about noise in general. I found her limit with a roll of tape.
I found "quiet" packing tape recently. I bought it, while highly skeptical, for my last move. It was barely more expensive. I don't recall seeing it before.
Super pleasant, did not make the rip crackle squeal sound at all.

I don't find it annoying, I quite like it. The only time I've experienced "ASMR" was from somebody peeling tape next to me.
I was surprised that it didn't make the sound. Probably because it's a little bit more flexible?
