I am diagnosed with ADD - it is very common for people with ADD to be very sensitive to noise because they cannot block out distractions.
I love loud constant noises like a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner. It drives my husband mad but if I really want to relax, I sit in the kitchen with a coffee and the blasting kitchen hood. Heaven for me since it drowns out the other (for me) annoying noise. I do that to destress.
the noise mostly bothers me when I am already stressed. Is that the same for your husband?
Btw - it is also hereditary for me. My father was/is the same way. He has three daughters and children have seldom been an issue for him as well.
