    I started doing that when I was walking back to my dorm in college. It was winter, night fell early, and I didn’t notice someone 10’ ahead of me heading the same way. They got freaked out by the guy following them.

    It turned out to be someone who also lived in my dorm, so I “followed” them most of the way home before I realized the issue and called out to them.

    We ended up talking for a bit, and I said I’m sorry for scaring them, but the biggest issue was I seemed to come out of nowhere, so when they freaked out they thought I was some creep like, waiting to jump someone.

    So yeah, I make noise, for others comfort. I don’t even think about it anymore, it’s just automatic.

    The person I followed wasn’t even a woman, he just thought I was gonna mug him, but if I can freak out a 6’2" guy I could freak out anyone by accident.
