Fortunately, I had also scheduled a massage for a few hours later, and that seemed to help me settle down a bit. So if you need to schedule an MRE and are sound sensitive, it would be a good idea to plan on arranging for someone else to drive you home, and plan a lot of quiet time after your MRI...maybe even schedule a massage, as I did (luckily).

When I went for my MRI, they put some big headphones on me with music on low. I was able to hear all the weird, annoying sounds the MRI machine was making over the music. That day I also discovered I was claustrophobic.
I'm glad I asked for the headphones, the noises alone would have probably drove me insane.
