Feel like I am very sensitive to certain sounds.
I often find myself clenching my fists in aggravation at my desk.
Am I alone in this?

Me, too. I even have the sounds on my laptop muted. I would rather read about news than see and hear a video. I hate crowds, loud noises, have had terrible startle reactions, am startled easily (ever since ECT early in my life in my 20's.) Am much older now. I dislike music that is repetitive. I think that we are super-sensitive to many things. I do not like this one bit. Soft, calming music helps a bit, also "white noise" at night helps. Simplifying my life as much as possible helps also. Use whatever works for you. I hope something will work for you. For sure, talk to doc about it also. Our sensitivities are magnified for some reason, sometimes worse than other times. Try to get it fixed. My worse time took months to get over with some good PTSD counseling.
Best of Luck with this!
