For my documentary I wanted to obtain sound that was relevant to my subject matter. This was where my neighbour Hannah and her daughter Ivy Rose came in.

Despite being half way through renovating the house, Hannah (Ivy Rose's mother) was more than happy to help me get some sounds for my documentary.
I sat down with Ivy Rose - who is one year old - and we played with her toys and the two cats. Coaxing the sounds I needed from Ivy Rose wasn't difficult as she was more than excited to have a visitor and share her possessions with me.
I understand that these sounds could be triggering for tokophobics but I think they are necessary to secure audience attention within the first few seconds of my documentary and a warning will be provided.
Before I began recording I was sure to obtain verbal consent from Hannah for all the sounds recorded to be used in my documentary and published online.
Below I have compiled a short clip of typical triggers sounds, these include Ivy crying and cooing, along with her mum Hannah and myself.
If you have tokophobia and sounds of a baby/child can trigger your phobia, I would advise extreme caution.
After listening to these sounds, how do you feel? For some tokophobics, these sounds are enough to trigger a fight or flight response, cause a panic attack or even uncontrollable shaking.
