Is there a visual version of misophonia?

Yes, and it’s called misokinesia.

So far there is limited research on misokinesia. We know it is a sensory disorder that frequently co-occurs with misophonia. Some people with misophonia have misokinesia, and others do not. They are currently considered to be separate disorders.

Misophonia and misokinesia have similar symptoms but different activators. With misophonia, certain sounds activate a negative emotional response, certain movements are activators for misokinesia. Repetitive movements, for example, can cause irritation or distress for people with misokinesia.
