Many young children express dislike and anxiety to certain sounds, especially if these are loud or unexpected. This may range from a simple 'startle' response to an unknown sound, to more severe and fearful reactions.

Neonatal alloimmune neutropenia (NAIN) is a transient disorder characterised by maternal IgG antibodies targeting fetal neutrophil antigens, resulting in neutropenia. This condition arises when the fetus inherits neutrophil-specific antigens from the father that are absent in the mother.
