Certain loud noises do seem to affect and even kill fish, earlier this year the house next to mine was being renovated and they took down the wall on the other side of my garage which took around a day of constant heavy banging and drilling with a pneumatic breaker, while this was going on the fish were clearly very stressed and that night i lost 3 fish which included a large stingray, it took the rest of the fish several days to settle back down to their normal routines and stop being jumpy and nervous.
On a lighter note whenever our son runs down the stairs doing his impression of a herd of elephants or we have the TV turned up too loud and their is a explosion type sound from whatever we are watching the 4 toad fish in the brackish tank all start croaking and grunting.
