Is it normal that i get disturbed when i hear sudden noises?

When I hear a loud, unexpected noise, I just lose it. It's like I get scared. If someone were to jokingly yell during a conversation, I get really mad and irritable for a few seconds. If I expect the sound, I'm usually okay. What do you think?

    I hate when I get startled. I thought everyone did.

    Of course. Unfortunately for me, my anxiety kicks in when something like that happens.

    Fairly normal. When we're born, the only two things we're scared of by default are loud noises and falling. Implying that other fears are conditioned into us... food for thought!

    I always jump no matter what kind of noise it is. It can be the softest noise in the world but if it's sudden I still jump.

    Something called Hyper Vigilance...a state of precognition or early aware ness of a physical event. Also caffeine or past trauma can cause this....as can meth or sugar.

    Pretty sure everyone is that way. But some people do freak out more than others. Whenever I hear a sudden noise, my body just gets startled and I slightly gasp. When my sister hears sudden noises she gets scared to death, jumps, and screams pretty loudly.
