Some people feel really uncomfortable around loud noises because their brains react strongly to them. It's like when you're playing with your favorite toy and suddenly a big, noisy truck drives by, it startles you! These people have something called sensory sensitivity, which makes loud sounds feel overwhelming.
Examples
- A child jumps at the sound of a fire truck passing by.
- A person feels their heart racing when a loud bell rings in class.
- Someone starts crying at the sound of a noisy vacuum cleaner.
