Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), the term used in the X post by the White House is a tingling and relaxing sensation. Stimuli that can trigger ASMR are whispering voices, listening to mouth sounds, watching somebody attentively execute a mundane task, and Listening to the sound of rainfall. The ASMR can create a relaxing effect similar to listening to a lullaby or a light massage on the scalp. The White House using the term ASMR suggests that the sounds of shackles and chains are likely to evoke a similar feeling.
