Different people have different reactions to loud noises. I can be a sign of an anxiety problem, like PTSD, or it can be sensitivity to loud noises. It can also be a learned response. I used to love to sit and watch lightning storms. I didn't go out in them like Omers, but would sit on the porch and watch. Then I haed a couple of close calls. I saw lightning hit our power pole about 20 feet from the house. Flames were shooting out of it. Blew out half the wiring in the house. Then I got caught outside in a couple of Florida's infamous summer thunder storms, with nearby lightning stikes. I've gone from the person who used to sit and watch the storms to someone who wants to crawl under the furniture and hide when it thunders.
