Been there done that. I need to hear the peices move, it gives me a rythmic feeling not to mention a better tempo. I love those noises. It's the fear inpspiring, dread bringing, nauseating salt throwing noise that haunts my chess games.
well, then to bad for you

ajttja, I shouldn't have to forgo my relationship with the good noises because of impolite opponents. The world can be a better place without salt throwing.

Protect yourself with a potato. It needs a decent amount of salt, anyway.
A sound proof potato! Brilliant! How do I get me one?!
I mean, come on! I feel a-salt-ted!

I can't find anything against it in the USCF rule book so... apparently not. However, it may fall under "annoying conduct". Everytime someone twists pieces I'll inform the arbiter since that's really annoying. Seriously, it isn't good for the felt.
I have a much more fun way of dealing with that.
Say J'adoube, and untwist them.
lol!
Tell your opponents beforehand that you dislike salt and would prefer Pizza.This might solve your salt problem.
it happens

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not sure how chess.com would make the sound. It's the sound that's distracting. Maybe- Whoosh followed closely by splat?
But, pizza would still be distracting, except not in the fear inpspiring, dread bringing, nauseating way, but the "why I am playing chess and not eating pizza sort of way".
I hate that snake sound. Like, when I forget about a game and my time reaches the 10 second mark I panic.

Omigosh! Your opponents are throwing snakes at you? That's horrible! And I thought I had it bad! What does it sound like? It's probably more terrifying than the snake sound!
Whelp that was quite a bump. XD hahah I think this was my first thread?

Throwing salt is a known technique for driving off vampires.
I still prefer the old "wooden stake through the heart" method, though... especially since it also works against ordinary people, so if you have any wooden stakes left over, you don't need to waste them.
Yes, but you have to consider the fact that salt is easier to use, and get your hands on.

You mean... "Wood doesn't grow on trees, ya know!"
XD so if someone throws salt at you, you've been a-salt-ed.
What are you if you survive the said a-salt?
Turn your computer volume off.
