As someone who has spent the vast portion of their life clinically underweight, oddly, I know exactly what you're describing when you say "food noise".
See, I don't really get hungry like "normal" people do, I usually only realise I've not eaten when I get to the stomach cramps stage. Never have done. I assume it's an artefact of my autism or ADHD. (No, it's not the stims I take as meds either, I wasn't diagnosed till I was 33.)
However, the latest attempt with Mirtazapine to treat the chronic depression has given me an insight I would have lacked otherwise. One of it's side effects is an increased appetite, which manifests exactly how you describe it. Once the dose hits my system, I become very aware of everything in the kitchen, and my brain won't STFU about it.
It's real, and you're not imagining it. Which is all I can offer unfortunately. It's not much, but the validation can be important sometimes. 💛
