Hi Amy, welcome to PC.

I can totally relate to your post, although I hate loud noises that aren't in my control. Like CantExplain states, I think we all have a flight or fight reaction to danger - and loud noises hardly come with any warning.

Can you remember when this fear started? I really recommend speaking to a counsellor to see if you can work out coping methods and perhaps do some work into why you feel loud noises affect you in such a way.

Take care x
