Not really. I sleep with an A/C 2 feet from my head. 
There are certain sounds that drive me absolutely insane like kids/babies... Or lots of people talking in my office. But loud noise that my brain doesn't try to interpret as language is fine, and loud (good) music is fine too.

screaming children in a fine dining establishment
the other night, I had just finished work.It was 10 at night and I was having dinner at the Keg in Red Deer.I paid 35 dollars for that meal. Despite the fact that I was paying that money to have a quiet dinner free of screaming children in a nice quiet setting, a couple decides to bring their toddler with them to dinner at 10 oclock at NIGHT.The kid was screaming and shrieking on and off.I was tired and the shrieking and screaming annoyed the heck out of me.The couple should have just left the restaraunt.If people there wanted to listen to screaming children, they would have went to McDonalds and paid 10 dollars for their meal instead of 35 to 40 dollars a person.

That just makes my blood boil. How thoughtless! I hate it when there are screaming children in the library, too. Once, there weren't children making noise, but grown men. Two of them sat at table in the library, talking rather loudly. And then, one of them actually started playing music on a small radio! I went to find a librarian and complain. They got kicked out by security. It was so cool!

Depends on the noise. For instance I love hearing the wind blow or nice soothing music. But I used to live in an apartment next to this guy who called himself a "musician" and he had some turntables with the bass turned up just enough to were I could barely make it out, I seriously freaked out. But no one else seemed to be bothered by it so it really made me look like a nutcase.
That's the worse part about being sensitive to noise. When you complain, people think you are just nit-picking, or crazy!
