Is it normal for me to hate loud noises?

More specifically; is it normal for me to want to shrink into myself at the sound of loud noises?

I live near a Fire Department and every time a truck pulls out and blares those sirens with no warning I stop whatever I’m doing and just want to fall to the floor and implode and shrink into myself.

    Yeah diesel engines, motorcycles, construction equipment and American Restaurants, American bars, American salons and Americans in general are all loud.
    There is no reason public places need to be loud because noise exceeding 85 decibels is considered an occupational hazard.

    You need to move or invest in ear plugs.

  • I hate loud noises too idk if my ears are sensitive or what. Loud sirens usually freak me out to the point makes me feel kinda paranoid and I have no idea why. But I can’t relate on wanting to shrink into myself.
