Persistant aren’t you?
Perhaps it’s my male side, or is it my female side? 
My 94 year old grandma, who lived in Berlin with her first three children during the bomb raids of WW2, still can’t stand the New Year’s Eve fireworks we have in Germany every year. She once told me that the continous rumble and the occasional bangs remind her of the bomb raids and makes bad memories come up. So it affects civilians as well.
