I have sensory integration disorders in spades (and in multiple senses). Off the top of my head...
Sound: I like the sound of moving air (especially fans), and the sound of rain impacting on metal (roof of a car, for instance). However, I cannot stand the ticking of a single clock...
Visual: I hate deep red colors. At a young age I was brought into a room with a rich, deep red color scheme, and was overwhelmed by it. I've hated red ever since, and taken an affinity to blue, green, black, and most earth tones...
Touch: I have an aversion to anything puncturing my skin (not from blood, but from the actual puncturing act), which had led to a fear of both needles and bees.
Taste: While I don't have any problems with my sense of taste, my tongue is very sensitive to certain textures. I can't eat most foods that have both liquid and solid components, like orange juice with pulp or casseroles (and I was averse to pasta until about a year ago)...
Smell is the only sense that doesn't have anything "abnormal" (with respect to general consensus) about it...
