Answer 2

I never knew there was such a thing.  So, we really can learn 'round here.

Railroaders all have a common fear of a ringing telephone.  This is known as 'crapIgottagotoworkaphobia'.  This debilitating psychosis is permanent after three years.  After that time there is no turning back.

I haven't turned a wheel for seven years, as of today, having made my last run on August 20th..  I still jump out of my socks when the damned thing rings......

Phonophobia would work a bit. It's the fear of loud noises, but this segment came from the wikipedia website:

"Other sounds include a car backfiring, a sudden train whistle (especially electric trains) and loud parts of a movie."
