Yes, especially when you get sat right next to the bar's shit-tier speaker that has the treble cranked all the way up.
Also I have a special hatred for construction sites right next to intersections.

Yes, but I dislike any crowded places regardless of the noise. I tend to react when strangers brush against or touch, or grab me to “help”.

Loud noise will sometimes confuse me when walking in London. It's not fun at all.

This is a thing. I prefer quiet bars and don't go to concerts.

most of my friends I hang out with know that not only am I VI but also loosing my hearing so it's not as much a problem but like most VI people I dont like overly crowed places because of PTSD and my impairment

No, I totally get it. I'm a musician and with my hi-fi custom earplugs (I'm a musician that hates loud noises, so paying for them was totally worth it) in like at concerts or loud places, I feel like half my ability to navigate has been taken away. I don't have any formal O&M training, but I never realized how much I relied on my hearing to get around until I started wearing my custom earplugs in public. I don't know how to describe it, I just feel disoriented, like I have an idea of where everything is, but I can't follow it.

I am going deaf faster than blind at this point but have always hated noisy places. The people I hang with are mostly clueless unless they're hearing impaired, too. I love those few because we're all willing to help each other.
Otherwise, I'm just not down with crowds or noise. Street fairs with competing music venues are the worst but I love to shop there so I'm working on teaching someone how to help me in a way that we can both have fun.

Not that much as long as you do not expect me to interact. I get more bothered by sporting games. I usually go to loud nightclubs either.

It's tough to hang out with others, who likes to go to the club at night, but on the other hand I really like clubbing. Mostly because of all the blinking lights, that also gives me a hard time.
