Eating noises

I'm really sound sensitive which I'm aware of. I hate people eating apples and crisps which I'm aware is me being supersensitive...

But my husband's eating is driving me nuts. We've been married ages so don't know if he's got worse or I've got more sensitive. I don't want to be a horrible nag...

But...

"Clinking" of fork against teeth. Just why?! Surely people don't normally do this?

And ... he takes a sort of slightly audible "huff" breath in as he puts food in. Why?! Do other people do this!? Why!?!?

He doesn't talk with his mouth full of food or chew with his mouth open or anything but but but... surely this isn't normal?! Or is it me!?

@UnicorseTime I think the fork scraping is unusual in that, well, why do it?! Can't feel nice on the teeth and I'd have thought most people don't do it.

Breathing in, not sure.... Possible my FIL does this but I think he kind of has a permanent blocked nose or something so may not be able to help it (much).

I agree with PP that there's a difference between bad manners and standard eating noises. I feel rage at the manners and grossed by the noises, but ultimately the noises are my issue.
