Brushing ASMR

Brushing comes in a few flavors. There are object sounds, like a stiff brush on a wooden box or a soft one across a fluffy pillow. There's face brushing, where the creator sweeps a brush toward the lens as if over your cheeks. And there's lens brushing, which adds a visual trigger as bristles cover the screen.

Because it's so soft, brushing is a common choice for sleep and for people who find tapping too sharp. When the brushes go directly on the microphone, the sound changes a lot; that has its own category, mic brushing. Watch at least one lens brushing video with your eyes open, since the visual is half the point.
