My hearing is also super sensitive, I hate any loud noise. Walking down the street or just being out with friends can be a pain sometimes, as can watching the tv.
I am always telling friends and family not to shout - even when they think they are not, to me they are 
Hmm food that moves and makes noises - yes this happens in my house too

Go-cups sometimes get small amounts of water trapped between the inner and outer linings and start whistling/sputtering when you pour something really hot into them. I've had a few WTF moments because of this. "Did a squirrel get into the house?"
What are go-cups?

I don't understand why the food in the video is moving. And it looks disgusting; even if it wasn't moving I wouldn't want to eat it.

Casu Marzu - Wikipedia
Casu marzu is considered toxic when the maggots in the cheese have died. Because of this, only cheese in which the maggots are still alive is eaten. When the cheese has fermented enough, it is cut into thin strips and spread on moistened Sardinian flatbread (pane carasau), to be served with a strong red wine. Casu marzu is believed to be an aphrodisiac by local Sardinians. Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed, diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping into their eyes. Those who do not wish to eat live maggots place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.
Several food safety issues have been raised in relation to Casu marzu, including anecdotal reports of allergic reactions and the danger of consuming cheese that has advanced to a toxic state. In addition, there is some risk of enteric myaisis, or intestinal larval infection. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea. Piophila casei larvae are very resistant to human stomach acid and can pass through the stomach alive, taking up residency for some period of time in the intestines and causing stomach lesions and other gastrointestinal problems. The larvae have powerful mouthhooks which can lacerate stomach linings or intestinal walls as the maggots attempt to bore through internal organs.
The government of Sardinia has outlawed the cheese for health reasons, and offenders may face heavy fines. However, it is possible to get Casu marzu on the black market, where it can sell for double the price of a regular block of Pecorino.

That's absolutely vile, although I love the bit about putting them in a paper bag and hearing them jump out

I could have sworn I heard noise coming from my green tea, and I put my ear to the top of the cup and get my hair wet with the tea... Thankfully my hair is clean. Anyways, there must have been moving air inside the bag that was being released, cuz I wa right there was noise coming from the tea. So, now when anyone asks you, you will be able to tell them: Tea makes a very soft hissing noise. Is hearing this sensitive a more common thing to have for an AS person?
hehe what kind of green tea you drinking, I am holding my cup of jasmine tea to my ear now... burns ear
You might be hearing the cup but its like holding your ear to a sea shell, which only amplify ambient sound, you may have some congestion and it may affect your ears, sound like water behind in your eardrums.
