I think she actually has really sensitive ears. She's 2.5 and it doesn't really make her cry (unless it's also unfamiliar) but she hides or says no, stop, etc. she says "too loud" about certain things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fear-of-loud-noises#post-2232210 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 20:49:20 +0000 Grace 2232210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO started being scared before a year old. I remember she was scared of the blowdryer. It's getting better but at 2, the vacuum still sends her running to hide in her playtent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fear-of-loud-noises#post-2232209 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 20:48:45 +0000 jhd 2232209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 14 months and still cries when I grind coffee beans, vacuum, or even if the dog barks really loudly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fear-of-loud-noises#post-2232195 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 20:33:26 +0000 FannyMae 2232195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so much as a baby, but more as a toddler and now as a 3 year old its kind of stuck. She gets quite scared and jumpy at an unexpected loud noise - super loud motorbike drives past our house at night, or a very loud fire engine alarm, sometimes even if a large plane is flying too low overhead it might give her a startle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fear-of-loud-noises#post-2232191 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 20:31:00 +0000 Mae 2232191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember when my LO was 2 or 3 months I dropped a pan by accident and she jumped and started crying. She's 13 mo now and noises don't really scare her now (except I went through the car wash yesterday and that freaked her out. But might have been the whole scene rather than just the sound) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fear-of-loud-noises#post-2232173 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 20:12:40 +0000 FaithFertility 2232173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but my 6 month old is very jumpy!<br /> I actually vacuum around her in her jumper and run blender and such as much as possible around her, so she won't be scared, I sing a vacuum song...lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fear-of-loud-noises#post-2221095 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 18:45:00 +0000 Boogs 2221095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a milestone per se, but did your LO ever go through a phase where they were afraid of loud noises? How old are they when the fear started? How old were they when they overcame the fear?</p> <p>My 9 month old can't handle me vacuuming or turning on the garbage disposer unless someone else is holding him. Makes certain chores tricky at times! I remember my oldest going through the same thing, but mommy brain made me forget when it started and how long it lasted. </p>
