Yes, I occasionally experience this. It seems to be directly linked to my Anxiety. The more stressed and anxious I am the more I am significantly affected by those things going on around me.

I spent most of Boxing Day in a hospital emergency room and suffered a bad case of sensory overload. I sat there during all that time exposed to a litany of things and noises going on around me. I became irritable and extremely uncomfortable as I grew more and more sensitive to smells, sounds, sights, and the behavior of others. By the time I was finally seen hours and hours later I was extremely frazzled from the overload. I found myself willing it all to stop - unsuccessfuly.
