Mood Swings
Observing a person's reaction closely can tell that their mood quickly switches to be angrier or easier. A person who is sensitive to loud music can quickly become frustrated and angry and might launch into a verbal argument with someone. Sometimes these situation can lead to even fights, depending on a situation or a place.
