Loud sounds are annoying to be sure, but this sounds also like a bit of an emotional regulation issue in addition, especially if just writing a comment about the event is enraging you.

Stressing about that kind of stuff that you ultimately have little/no control over is an express train to an unhappy life.

There might be some truth to this, though I don't know whether we have conscious control of it.

There's some evidence to suggest magnesium deficiency can lead to an increase in startle response.

you have no idea. i can even sympathize with a murderer. you know, self-defense, impulse... can be anything. but this? this is premediated. just one asshat can ruin entire town. these people deserve lifetime-imprisonment after multiple offence.

You can't be serious when you say that you'd lock someone in a cage for the rest of their life because they broke a noise ordinance.

Anyone could break a noise ordinance inadvertently, eg having a party that went on too long or getting carried away on a DIY project. while I'm not endorsing the life imprisonment proposal, deliberately altering your vehicle to make it loud and obnoxious (or plain noxious, as with 'coal roller' pickups that are modified to belch oily smoke in large quantities) is a calculated kind of sadism that exploits the inconvenience and low probability of enforcement to aggravate others to the greatest extent possible.
