Yes, I have heard of this.

Many sounds irritate me. Sometimes, I get panicky and have to flee. My hearing is quite acute so I think that explains why I am bothered by certain sounds.

The following are VERY bothersome: crying and screaming toddlers/children; loud nose breathers; hand rubbing; vacuum cleaners; sirens and fire alarms; giggles; noisy environments; and a lot of people talking all at once.
