Yes, it definitely can be a symptom in people with bipolar disorder. (If you look at DSM-V it is listed I believe.) Emotional or sensory oversensitivity to anything can be a mood disorder symptom but it doesn't mean that you're manic-depressive or have a mood disorder. Personally, I think some individuals are can be sensitive to different things in the environment. Some people are very sensitive to certain things in food (gluten, peanuts, caffeine, etc.). If you have other strange physical or emotional symptoms the sensitivity could be related, imo.

I've moved x7 in the past ten yrs due to noise from neighbors - that's how sensitive I am. Every noise bugs me at certain times: closing doors and cabinets, footsteps, pots and pans, etc. (I lived in an old apt house and the front wood door weighed at least 60-70 lbs and when someone closed it it made a very loud noise and shook the entry way - that really bugged me. Also when heavy trucks screech their brakes right next to me in the Summer I can get very agitated inside.)
