Does anyone know why this kind of sound sensitivity is so common among people with ADD/HD? I'm just curious, I think it's interesting.

It is pretty common among add/adhd people due to the fact that are brains are trying to hear everything that is going. Are brains put feelers everywhere trying to absorb everything that is going on around, so much that our brain cannot keep up with the info that is being brought in. It cannot filter and dump what is unimportant. So it just gets so overwhelmed with the amount coming and thus we usually all end up having to deal with it in our own way, such as losing it as some do, or removing themselves from the sounds like you or just shutting down to give the brain a break and come back from the break when the brain has had enough time to get back to a state where it is not overwhelmed.
