I would think that having that level of distress caused by these sounds is something to be concerned about.
Typically we are already in an irritated mood prior to these "trigger" noises taking place - when they happen, we are obsessed with them and make ourselves believe that THEY are the reason we are irritated. Overtime this cycle becomes habit, and so, everytime that noise happens, our brain rationalizes our irritation by linking it to that sound.
- try to focus on something else when that sound happens - remind yourself that it is nothing.
