Description
Misophonia, literally "hatred of sound", is a neurological disorder in which negative experiences (anger, flight, hatred, disgust, anxiety) are triggered by specific sounds.The sounds can be loud or soft. The term [...] often used interchangeably with the term selective sound sensitivity. - Wikipedia
Misophonia is often connected with Misokinesia, meaning hatred of movement.
The worst, it finds a way through every coping mechanism you develop.
There isn't a cure or therapy for misophonia yet, many therapists haven't even heard about it or aknowledged it as an actual mental disorder.
For staying in trains or crowded places I have one tip though, I wouldn't recommend using earplugs - your brain will concentrate a lot more on hearing and will filter trigger noises out easier and after taking them out your hearing will be better. I recommend getting a white noise generator-app on your smartphone for such situations, it's free and good enough to cover up the worst triggers, plus it is really calming and without a pause (unlike some music or when listening to a playlist).

Wow I never realized this was a real thing. Been experiencing this all my life and just thought I was weird!
What's been worse for me lately with this is not being able to enjoy some music anymore, due to sounds sensitivity. That part sucks!
I found out this especially when I was staying with friends and their kid asked me why I had earplugs in my ears (they were talking to me and the radio was on loud) and I said I needed them to help filter out sounds so I could hear them better. They thought that was weird. That was when I realized that I really had something wrong with me, but just didn't know what it was.
Thanks for this, it's good to know this isn't just "all in my head" (sorry, bad pun intended)...
