Noise Anxiety

Hi there. Does anyone else here experience "noise anxiety"? I have had a problem with this for awhile now, but it has gotten worse and more frequent in the past 6 months. One of the worst noises for me is when a fan is blowing. Both the noise of the fan and the sounds of the air blowing things makes me feel very anxious/tense/moody. When someone speaks when a fan is blowing I also feel that I can hardly hear what is being said which gives me even more anxiety. In addition and connected to the noise anxiety, I also feel an even higher level of panic whenever I'm in a situation where more than one person is talking in a room, and when anyone speaks or laughs loudly. I would very much like to talk to anyone else who has similar experiences. No one that I am around currently understands what I mean, but it's a very serious issue to me. :( Thanks for listening.
