Phonophobia is a fear of loud sounds, especially sudden and unexpected ones.For example, listening to a
CD that starts with a minute of silence and then suddenly goes into loud
rock music would be extremely startling for most people, assuming they had no prior knowledge of the content of the CD. Being startled is in itself a normal reaction, but the key difference is that people with Phonophobia actively fear such an occurrence.
