I can't seem to understand anything I read if there is even a slight amount of sound around me (besides "natural" sounds such as the wind or sounds made by animals).Is this normal?

I'm afraid not. Unless it's some sort of distracting obnoxious sound.

Sounds like you have ADD. I have to wear headphones even with no sound to drown out everything around me so I can consecrate.

Depends.
If I have the computer on (with a loud cpu fan) and a pretty loud fan in the window, with a phone charger that starts making strange high pitch sounds when the battery is close to being full and a air sanitizer that is like having a vacumcleaner by your ear... then I get quite annoyed and sometimes have less patience on coding and reading.

No, not normal.
I don't have the same problem, but I do like some white noise when I'm studying, because my house mates aren't the quietest.
I use fans, or I listen to a recording of rain falling on a roof that I found somewhere, it drowns out other sounds quite well.
I can send it to you if you like (pm me).

Not normal as such, but lots of people have things like this, and it's probably only as serious as you feel it to be.
Might be worth a quite chat with the doctor or whatever if it really gets on your nerves, but believe me when I say you're not the only one with weird sensory traits like this! :)

I wrote it the wrong way.The main thing that bothers me is music.I can hear a car engine all day and it doesn't bother me.Music,on the other hand,...
