Sometimes noises seem louder or quieter then normal, and my eyes become sensitive to bright lights. Usually this is when I’m experiencing dpdr. Is this dpdr? Or a result of something else?

yes very normal. i experience my senses being heightened. I’m highly aware of everything going on in my mind, body and my surroundings. And every sensation/noise/motion seems amplified.

I don't think this typically comes with DPDR. I know that light and sound sensitivity can come with some migraines. It's also something I have experienced when I was lacking sleep or as a withdrawal symtpom from SSRIs. But when I had this I did not have more DP or DR.

This is a normal part of having a brain in general and living under psychological stress. Depersonalization heightens our awareness of neurological processes we used to pay no mind to.

I have to agree with that.

Depersonalization puts one in a state of self-isolation and hypervigilance, and goes to reason this idea is true.
