Person working next to me smacks their lips

The lovely young lady who works at the desk next to mine has an AWFUL habit of smacking her lips and eating with her mouth open, at her desk.

This is driving me up the wall.

What do I do without strangling an otherwise lovely person.

I hope she reads this so I don’t have to confront her.

Just to add that I have tried noise cancelling air pods. I can still see her out the corner of my eye and it’s really distracting for me.

Would you say anything and what??

I would get some loop earplugs they dull the noise but you can still hear people if they are talking to you
